Do you want to make sure that you're doing everything right when cooking your favorite steak at home? Do you want to guarantee you’ll have a great steak-house quality steak every time you grill? There's no recipe here, just a few simple tips that will help you get your steak every bit as good as a great steak house, while enjoying it at home, and saving a small fortune in the process...just in time for 4th of July.
Marbling, and why Grades do count!
Marbling is the small flecks of fat within the beef and is the main contributor of beef juiciness, flavor and tenderness. The grade of beef you purchase will determine how tender and flavorful your steak will be. For instance, some grocery stores use USDA Select Beef – this grade of beef is slightly marbled, while other grocery stores serve USDA Choice beef which has only small and modest marbling. However, all USDA Choice is NOT equal… only 8% of Beef, the upper choice earns the distinctive, Certified Angus Beef brand. Certified Angus Beef has moderate marbling and reduces the risk of a tough steak. USDA Prime Beef has an abundance of marbling – with only 2% of the beef in this country being graded out as Prime. For the most tender and flavorful steak, choose USDA Prime Beef to guarantee the Ultimate at-home grilling experience!
Start Steaks at Room Temperature
Remove your steaks from the fridge, and let them sit out to get to room temperature before you start grilling. This way the steaks spend less time on the grill getting to temperature. It's a gentler method of cooking and will deliver juicier meat to your plate. This will also help you get that great steak house brown crust. The drier the steak is, the less steam is created, and the better the carmelization of naturally occurring sugars.
Searing – Lock in the juices!
Searing a steak locks in its natural juices. PREHEAT your grill, and set it to HIGH. Place your steak on the grill for two minutes, then turn for another two minutes while still on high. After this searing process, now turn your heat to medium for the remainder of the cooking time. To make sure you get the color and texture of a great steak house crust, SEASON IT with your favorite dry rub or seasoning. We recommend CharCrust seasoning, which is now available online at www.palmbeachprime.com.
Don't Play with the Burgers
Don't press and pat the burgers with a spatula. This squeezes the delicious fat out, but doesn't make them cook any faster. Spatulas are just for flipping! For the perfect steak, use tongs to turn your masterpiece; a fork punches holes in the meat! For the most incredible burger you’ve ever tasted, try the KOBE BEEF burger from PalmBeachPrime.com. With its specially patented process, it will be the juiciest and most flavorful burger you’ve ever grilled at home! Simply grill from frozen, 5-6 minutes per side.
Be patient: Cook… Rest… Slice!
A good rule of thumb is to let the steak rest off the heat for as long as you cooked it for. When the steak is on the grill, all the juices will rush towards the much hotter exterior. If you cut into a steak right off the heat, all those great juices will run out wasted onto the plate. By letting the steak rest, the juices will redistribute throughout the meat, and you will enjoy a much juicier more flavorful steak. These tips will help you maximize the potential of whatever steak you are grilling! Good luck and enjoy great summer days with family and friends by the BBQ!
