TIPS FOR PERFEa GRILLING

Clean and preheat grill on high. Lightly oil everything before putting it on the grill. This helps the searing process and prevents sticking. Season food before grilling. Sear the outride of steaks when grilling. This helps with the flavor and juiciness. Use tongs or a spatula to turn meat on the grill. Using a fork can damage the meat. Cover grill as much as possible during the process. This helps to lock in the grilled Grilled Ribeye Steak with Chirnichurri Salsa flavor and will help prevent flare-ups. 7. Keep a spray bottle with water handy to douse any unexpected flare-ups. 8. Use the 60/40 grilling method. Grill for 60 percent of the time on the first side, then grill 40 percent of the time after turn­ ing over the food. This will make sure your food is evenly cooked. 9. Place cooked food on a clean plate. Never Adventures in place cooked food on the plate you used to transport the raw food to the grill without thoroughly w ashing it first. 10. Allow foods to "rest" for 5 minutes between cooking and eating. This will help them retain moisture when you cut into them. To get your grill tim e just right, download SteakTime, Omaha Steaks’ free app with an GRILLING innovative grill timer, a t www.itunffi.com/appstore.
