This is how you grill the perfect steak

Steak is the common name for the tender meat of beef, which can be fried. To get a perfect result, it is important to be aware of the tenderness of the piece of meat you are grilling. Here are three easy steps to grill the perfect steak:

– If you are using a small grill, we recommend tempering the meat before grilling to avoid lowering the temperature on the grill and prolonging the cooking time. To give the meat extra flavor, salt and pepper are preferred, or to season it with a rub or a good marinade.
– A rub is a spice mixture consisting of different spices, and with which the meat should be rubbed in. If you want to make a good marinade, our rule of thumb “K.O.Z” is a good starting point. K for herbs, O for oil and Z for acid.

  1. Wipe the steak with some kitchen paper. Brush with a little oil and season with salt and pepper, any other desired spices.
  2. Grill the steak over direct heat until the meat juices drip onto the top. Flip them over and wait for it to grill again. Now you have medium grilled steak. Place the steaks on indirect heat, away from the heat source, so that they can rest for a few minutes before serving.
  3. If you want to coat the steak with grill sauce/glaze, first make sure that the steaks have a nice grill crust. Many barbecue sauces contain a lot of sugar that burns when grilling over high heat.

Hint: When grilling on direct heat, grill the food directly over the heat source. When grilling on indirect heat, the food is under a lid at some distance from the heat source, in the “cold zone”.

Baking time for steak about 2cm thick:
Light Baked Steak (55°C):Cook the steak for 1 minute on each side.
Medium Baked Steak (60°C):Cook the steak over high heat until the juices drip from the top, Turn the steak and grill until it bubbles on the other side.
Weldone (70°C):Cook the steak over high heat for 1 minute on each side, then cook again for about 4 minutes on each side over low heat. It is important to turn the steak often.
