Marinating and Grilling the Perfect Steak for Yourself

Wednesday, May 25, 2011

Grilling a steak can make for a tasty dinner but if done incorrectly, you can end up with a charred, dry piece of charcoal and that's not good for anyone. Perfectly grilling a steak can be considered an art form. There are several components that should be considered when grilling out.

The first detail that should be considered before the meat even hits the grill is seasoning or marinade. Seasoning can be anything from just sea salt to a dry steak rub or a wet marinade. I would recommend using this steak marinade and letting the steak sit for about an hour in the refrigerator soaking up the marinade.

Cook Steak

Steak Marinade:
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup olive oil
4 ½ T honey
6 large garlic cloves, minced
3 T chopped fresh rosemary
ground pepper
sea salt

Next you want to determine how you want your steak cooked. Do you want rare, medium, well? (Rare=red, medium=warm pink, well=cooked through) After you determine this, follow these cooking times, 4-5 mins per side for rare, 5-7 mins per side for medium and 7-8 mins a side for well. These also depend on thickness of the cut of meat.

Depending on whether you are using charcoal or gas to grill, you will have to manage the heat differently. By keeping the temperature of the grill high, you will achieve an nice sear and seal in the juiciness of the steak. When you throw your steak on the grill you want to hear a nice sizzle. The sugar in the honey will caramelize and make a nice crust on the outside of the steak.

After you have cooked your steak to the desired temperature, pull the steak off and let the meat rest for 10 minutes. Allowing the meat to rest will allow the juices to redistribute throughout and make for an extra juicy steak. By keeping these tips in mind, you will create a tasty, delicious, perfectly cooked piece of meat.
