than thinner cuts.
• Score fat on edges of steak, but do not cut into meat, to prevent curling while
cooking.
• For the attractive"branded"look onsteaks, be sure grill is preheated. Allow one
side of meattocooktodesireddoneness,oruntiljuicesappearonthetopsurface,
before turning. Turn steaks and hamburgers just once. Manipulating food
causes loss of juices.
• When basting meats or applying sauces to foods, remember that excessive
amounts wind up inside your grill and do not improve the food flavor. Apply
sauces duringthe last 15 to 20 minutesof cooking time unless recipe specifies
otherwise. Plus, any time a sugar-based marinade, (for example, barbecue
sauce)is going to be used,the grates should be "seasoned"priorto preheating.
