Steak BBQ Tips
Thank goodness I have a husband who loves to light the grill and I happily let him. If you are at my skill level, here are some tips to help you:
- let the steak come Room temperature put them on the grill and let the meat rest After removing it from the grill. The steak will continue to cook for a while and the juices will spread.
- Thick Steak: For steaks 1.5 inches or thicker, use a thermometer. Sear them on high heat first, then move them to the section set to low heat to finish cooking. The internal temperature should be 120°F (rare), 130°F (medium rare), 140°F (medium rare).
- thinner steak 1 inch or smaller: Use a timer and cook over high heat. The internal temperature will be the same as above. Rare: Cook about 3 minutes per side. Medium Rare: Cook about 4 minutes per side. Medium: Cook about 5 minutes per side.
Dressing Tips
We love this salad with the pesto in the recipe. Very good!
If you want to use another dressing, you can do that too. Our homemade ranch dressing would be a great option, or even our cilantro ranch dressing.
