Mistakes People Make When Grilling Steak

It should go without saying, but not all steaks are created equal; the kind of meat you get will make all the difference. A common mistake people make with meat is buying poor quality cuts, which obviously can’t be saved by a good grill.

Wrong Steak

In terms of cooking meat, the right grill can make all the difference in the world, especially when it comes to cleanliness. Make sure you have a clean grill before trying to cook any meat on it, because the meat will be both tastier and better for your health.

Dirty Grill

In order to cook meat and get those classic grill marks, you obviously have to have some heat involved. If your heat is on low, your meat will eventually cook, but it’s definitely not going to taste as good as it would if the heat was higher to begin with.

Not Hot Enough

Because grilling is almost always associated with summer, it only makes sense that many people want to cook with herbs. However, choosing dirty or weakly flavored herbs can truly turn any steak into something less than savory.

No Fresh Herbs

One of the most common grilling mistakes people make is cutting into a steak while it grills. While it may seem like a helpful thing to do, it’s actually making your steak less flavorful than it could be.
