BLOG—By Sherry Rujikarn, Good
Housekeeping Magazine--Right now, your social media feeds are probably
filled with a million and one articles on what to do and what not to do on the
grill. But we bet, there's one tip you haven't heard about.
For more evenly-cooked, tender, and flavorful steaks off the
grill, try scoring your meat! You heard us right: That method you usually apply
to your holiday ham and duck breasts can also be used on your steak. Here's
how:
Using the tip of a sharp knife, first make shallow (about 1/8
inch deep) cuts across the grain one way, then the other way (perpendicular to
first set of cuts). Repeat on the other side. Season the steak, then grill it
on medium-high for a minute or two less per side.
Why bother, you ask?
Well, if you like rubbing your steaks down with spices, garlic,
or herbs, this trick makes sure the flavor sets in because you can really cram
the seasoning into the cuts. The shallow cuts also give the heat from your
grill easier access, thereby minimizing that dreaded, dry, gray line that can
sometimes appear around the perfectly juicy, medium-rare band in the center of
your steak.
