spaced on lower grill. Cover using light pre s s u re .
Grill until steaks have reached desired level of
doneness when tested with an instant-read ther-
m o m e t e r. Grilling will take approximately 4 to 10
m i n u t e s . Grill until about 5° under temperature
desired – meat will continue to cook while rest-
ing. Remove immediately. Let steaks stand for 5
to 10 minutes before serving to allow temperature
to even out, and fibers to relax and re a b s o r b the
juices, making the steak more tender and juicy.

*Grill swordfish for 4 to 5 minutes – do not over-
cook or it will become dry. Internal temperature
should be 145°F or more to taste when tested
with an instant read thermometer.
Cook’s Tip: When shrimp are grilled, they have
a much better texture after a short period of
brining. To brine the shrimp, place 1 tablespoon
each kosher salt and brown sugar in a medium
bowl and add one cup boiling water. Stir until
salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Add 12
ice cubes and 1 cup cold water; stir until brine
is cold. When cold, add shrimp and brine the
shrimp for 30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
