Grilling Tips: How to Grill a Great Steak
Below are a few tricks of the trade from grill masters at LongHorn Steakhouse® to help you grill the perfect steak this Fourth of July.
Selecting Your Steak
- When selecting a steak, remember three things: cut, marbling and freshness.
- Marbling is the whiteness that runs through the steak and makes it juicy.
- Filets, sirloins and ribeyes are three common cuts you can find at your local grocer.
- Filets are lean and tender. They have a buttery texture and subtle flavor.
- Sirloins are also a lean cut and are very juicy.
- Bone-in Ribeye has the most marbling – and is the juiciest and most flavorful steak.
- Fresh steak is always best because it guarantees the meat will be tender and juicy.
Seasoning Your Steak
- Seasoning helps the true flavor of the meat shine and can add another layer of taste to the meal.
- For steaks, LongHorn uses one of three secret dry seasonings, but similar flavors can be achieved at home.
- Combine salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder and mix it together. Adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Don’t be shy when seasoning. Season the steak boldly. Sprinkle and rub the seasoning on both sides of the meat, making sure it’s coated.
Grilling Your Steak
- If you’re using an outdoor chargrill, fully clean and prep it using a wire-bristled brush and light coat of vegetable or olive oil.
- Heat the surface of the grill so that it’s very hot – about 500 degrees.
- Sear the steak until grill marks appear, then give it a quarter turn while on the same side. Flip and repeat.
- For the LongHorn Steakhouse experience at home, pair your perfectly grilled steak with a delicious side, like a sweet potato or fresh vegetables.
