Grill the perfect Steak for Dad on Father’s Day


If you really want to impress Dad, on Father’s Day, grill a steak he can enjoyed and take the time and patience to do it right.

To begin, the most important first step is to buy the best quality meat you can afford.

When cooking a steak consider the thickness of the steak(s). It’s difficult to cook a rare or medium-rare steak with a caramelized crust if the steak is a ¼ inch thick. If Dad like a well done steak and you choose a 2 inch thick steak, the outer part will be incinerated and will look like a piece of charcoal, and the middle is still pink. A 1 inch-thick steak is perfect for a medium rare steak with a lovely crust.

The second most important aspect is to take the meat out of the refrigerator in time for it to return to room temperature before you grill it usually (30 minutes will do, keep it covered and never in sun). If the meat is cold when you place it on the grill, the outside will cook, but the middle will remain raw.

A safety note: never pour oil all over the grill or you will end up with burnt oil and grill fire that will synch your eyebrows or face and hair. Instead clean the grill with a brush and swab it with a paper towel dipped in a little oil to lubricate the grill. Instead, salt and pepper the steak and with your fingers spread a thin layer of oil on both sides of the meat before you grill it.

Obviously, make sure your grill is hot, (place your hand about 6 inches from the fire, over the plate, and count up to five, if you can stand it; it’s not hot enough for the meat yet) You will be surprised, how many people don’t allow the grill to get hot and therefore when the meat goes on grill, the meat will stick.

Turn the steaks once only (using tongs). Poke the steak with your finger to gage the state of doneness. If the steak is cold to the touch after a few minutes of cooking, it’s still raw. If it feels hot and hard, it’s very well done. Learn to find your doneness by the touch, it does not hurt, if you do quick poke. Also, if you keep turning the meat, the outsides won’t seal and caramelize, and you will get pale, tough, dry meat

At the end, allow the steak or meat to rest in a dish or platter, loosely covered with foil, for about 5-10 minutes in order to allow all the juices to settle back into the meat instead of running all over your plate

Enjoy and have a nice Father’s Day.
