Grilling Steaks and Burgers

Yeah Yeah...Men think they are the best grillers on earth however, I have found that women do a better job. lol Few things to remember...
Make sure you take meat out of fridge and get to room temp. Cold meat hitting a hot grill tightens up the meat and it will not be as tender. If you marinade the meat first make sure you pat it dry before it hits the hot grill. If you leave it dripping wet it will not sear the meat it will steam it. Who wants a steamed steak? Place them on a HOT grill as this will sear in all the juice of the meat and give you a nice crust on the outside. If you try to move the steak and it won't move it isn't ready. Only turn your steak once. This also goes for burgers. Ever seen they guy at the bbq turning and turning the burgers and smashing them down with the spatula? Cracks me up. He is slowly killing the burgers.  Be patient let it cook. You will be amazed how wonderful it will be if you leave it alone. Also if you are doing burgers place a dent in the center so it will cook evenly. Never cut the steak to see if it is done...you have now lost all the juice. Let the meat rest so all of the juice will return to the meat. If you have leftover marinade toss it in a pan and cook it up, add a pat of butter at the end and it will thicken and get glossy and becomes a wonderful sauce to pour on top if desired. C'mon women we can do this! Enjoy!
