If you have ever wanted the same perfect grill marks on your steaks like you see in restaurants, follow these tips!
- Before putting the meat down, preheat your grill on HIGH for at least 13 minutes.
- While the grill is heating up, get those grates nice and clean by carefully using an abrasive grill brush with steel bristles.
- Wipe the grates with a cotton towel dipped in cooking oil to remove carbon stains from interfering with the process as you try to achieve those diamond-shaped grill marks.
- Once these steps are finished, place your steak on the grill and let it sear until the meat begins to naturally release from the grill. After a few minutes, gently tip your spatula under one corner; if there’s tug, then it isn’t ready yet.
- Using the center of the meat as the axis point, turn your steak about 45 degrees (one-quarter turn). Let it sear for a couple more minutes according to your desired doneness.
- Finally, flip the steak over and repeat the process on the other side as desired, but be careful not to overcook. Use a meat thermometer if needed.
