Secrets for grilling steak grilled perfectly

There's nothing like a good, juicy steak cooked on a grill. But many people do not know grilling secrets such as the best cuts to use, what size should be, how long to cook the steaks marinated and use.

Choosing the correct cut of meat is very important when grilling. Some of the best steaks are grilled for premium cuts such as:

- Filet Mignon

The filet mignon is a fashionable cut from the heart of the beef tenderloin that has outstanding taste as well as texture.

- Top Sirloin

The top sirloin is a juicy cut taken from the center of the thread - the most tender - and a great cut for grilling.

- T-Bone

The t-bone is a succulent cut that is a favorite of steak fans. E 'is a strip sirloin (with bone) and a tender filet mignon.

- New York Strip (also known as Kansas City Strip)

The New York strip is such an excellent cut for grilling, baking many experts refer to it as the steak "final" for cooking out.

- Porterhouse

The Porterhouse steak is a very large which is a combination of two steaks: the New York strip on one side and a tender thread on the other.

- Rib Eye

Another classic, the rib eye has marbling throughout the meat - making it one of the juiciest cuts as well as very tender.

Thickness of the steak is very important. Each cut should be between 1 inch and 1 ½ inches thick. The strip steaks and top sirloin should be a little 'less expensive than the filet mignon, t-bone, Osteria, and the rib eye.

Many people like to marinate their steaks before cooking. You can purchase marinades in the grocery store (A1 brand offers several types) or make your own. If you do not oppose the use of alcohol, beer makes an excellent marinade. You can combine 1 12-ounce can of beer, ½ cup chili sauce, ¼ of salad oil, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 2 cloves of crushed garlic and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Let simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat. Marinate meat in mixture overnight in the refrigerator to soften the meat and allow to absorb the flavor. You can also brush the meat with the marinade as you cook. Another great homemade marinade includes 1 ½ cup of steak sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, cup 1/3 of Italian salad dressing, cup of 1/3 of honey, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.

Many people prefer to use a massage on their steaks rather than marinate. A rub is a combination of spices and herbs that is rubbed on the meat about an hour before cooking. It adds a great flavor to the meat, but is faster because the marinade does not require soaking overnight. A perfect recipe for a massage that will give your steaks a smoky flavor is 1 tablespoon chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, black pepper, white pepper and kosher salt plus 2 teaspoons oregano, 1 teaspoon coriander, and ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper. If you use a massage, make sure to rub the mixture into the cut of meat, not enough to spread on top.

There are other options for cooking steaks other than marinades and rubs. Many times, filet mignons are served wrapped in bacon (held by a skewer) or you can cut your steak and combine them on a skewer with vegetables like peppers, squash and onion to make a shish kebab.

Coat your grill with non-stick cooking spray before starting to keep your steaks from sticking to the grill. Preheat your grill before placing your steaks on. Resist the temptation to put the steaks on the preheated grill until the correct. The correct temperature for grilling steaks should be about 550 degrees Fahrenheit. Trim excess fat from the side of the cut to prevent flare-ups and curling when grilling.

You should only turn your steaks once on the grill to prevent drying out. How long you cook the steak depends on how you want it cooked. You can use a fork to cook with a digital thermometer to see how your steak is done. If you want your steak rare, the temperature should be no more than 150 degrees when done. If you want average, the temperature should be not more than 160 degrees when done. Finally, if you want well done, you should have a temperature of at least 170 degrees.

After grilling your steak, let it rest for five minutes before serving to allow juices to settle. Serve with a baked potato, salad or other side dish and enjoy! ...
