United STEAKS of America
Grilling is a great all-American tradition. For generations, family and friends have gathered around the grill to celebrate summer in the good ol’ USA. This year, treat your taste buds to a little road trip of flavor without ever having to leave your backyard. Just fire up the grill and serve a big, juicy steak that salutes one of America’s regional food favorites. Whether it’s a spicy Southwestern-style Rib Eye steak, a Heart of Dixie Whiskey-Barbeque Top Sirloin, or a Buffalo New York Strip, you can enjoy the steaks that make America great right at home.
To help you grill the perfect all-American steak every time, we offer these tips:
1. Clean your grill and preheat on high.
2. Lightly oil the steak before you put it on the grill. This helps the searing process and prevents sticking.
3. Always season the steak before grilling.
4. Sear the outside of the steak when grilling for the ultimate in flavor and juiciness.
5. Use tongs or a spatula to turn your steak on the grill. Using a fork can damage the meat.
6. Cover your grill as much as possible during the grilling process. This helps to lock in the grilled flavor and will help prevent flare-ups.
7. Keep a spray bottle with water handy to douse any unexpected flare-ups.
8. Use the 60/40 grilling method for even cooking: grill for 60 percent of the time on the first side, and then grill the remaining 40 percent of the time after you turn the steak.
9. Place your grilled steak on a clean plate. Never place cooked steaks on the plate you used to transport the raw steaks to the grill without thoroughly washing the plate first.
10. Allow your steaks to rest for five minutes between cooking and eating to retain moisture and juiciness.
