Tips for Steak BBQ:
- Start with a clean grill and add a little vegetable oil or olive oil to the grate before heating.
- Let the steaks reach room temperature before placing them on the grill.
- Turn the steak only once.
- After removing the meat from the grill, let the meat rest. The steak will continue to cook a bit and the juice will come out.
How to tell if the steak is cooked: For steaks 1.5 inches or thicker, use a thermometer. First scorch them with high heat, then move them to the part set to low heat to finish cooking.
- Rare: 120°F
- Moderately rare: 130°F
- Medium: 140°F
For thinner steaks, use a timer and cook at high heat
- Rare: 3 minutes on each side
- Moderately rare: 4 minutes per side
- Medium: 5 minutes on each side
Steak tips and frequently asked questions
A1 What can be used instead of steak sauce? If you donât have A1 sauce, you can make your own by combining the following methods:
- œ cup tomato sauce + 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Or â cup of lemon juice plus Âœ cup of tomato sauce + salt and pepper to taste
Any of these can serve as an excellent substitute for A1.
