subject: Would Anyone Like To Have Grilled Steak? [print this page] For most people, the easiest cooking method of all is grilling because professional cooks or the non-professional ones can always produce a delicious grilled food. The most popular grilled food of all is the steak. People say that there are various ways of grilling a steak. If there are different ways to do it, then what is the best way to grill a steak? This is what we are going to discuss and as we go along our discussion, let's try to find out if there is really a best way to grill a steak or if all ways of grilling may be considered the best.
Those who are curious as to what is the best way to grill a steak should always remember the importance of choosing the right meat. When we say choosing the right meat, the cut of the meat must be taken into consideration. The thickness of the meat must be between 1 inch and 1 and 1/2 inches only and the best meat cuts of all are filet mignon, porterhouse, and sirloin. These meat cuts are a little expensive but we of course have the option to buy other meat cuts. It must be remembered that other meat cuts may also be purchased as an alternative to the expensive ones. However, we suggest that such meat be marinated well first before grilling. In the market, there are some sellers that offer "marinating steak." This may also be bought in case we want to try it as an alternative to the filet mignon, porterhouse, and sirloin.
Another tip for many of us who are curious as to what is the best way to grill a steak is to make sure that the excess fat from the meat is trimmed in order to avoid flare-ups while grilling. Furthermore, trimming the excess fat will make the presentation of the steak better because excess fat tends to curl if grilled.
It must also be remembered how important putting non-stick spray or oil spray on the grill in order to avoid the steaks from sticking. Allowing the meat to stick on the grill will also, of course, affect the presentation of the finished product. Another way of avoiding the meat from sticking from the grill is to pre-heat the grill using adequate cooking temperature.
Some may find it weird to know that there are people who use a digital thermometer when grilling. Well, if we want to know what is the best way to grill a steak, then it will not harm us if we also use a digital thermometer to know whether the grilled steak has been cooked well or not. Using a digital thermometer is also good to use in order to know if the grilled steak is safe to eat.
Once the steaks are done, it must be left for approximately five minutes before being served in order to allow the juices of the meat to settle. If we serve the grilled steaks at once, the juices have not settled yet and it will all get messy. When we serve the grilled steak, we must ensure that the presentation is excellent. So, in order to do this, we should also grill French fries or vegetables that we can put as side dishes. Salad is also an ideal side dish.
So, what is really the best way to grill a steak? Well, it seems that all ways of grilling steak is considered the best as long as the way of grilling is right and the steak is safe to eat. It just all depends too on how the steaks are presented to the guests.
