How To Barbecue Beef In 6 Simple Steps
An easy and quick tutorial to prepare perfectly barbecued steak at home, fresh from the grill.
Step 1: Coat your meat with oil (not the grill). Choose a neutrally flavoured oil with a high smoke point such as vegetable oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, canola oil, or extra light olive oil.
Step 2: Season your meat lightly with some flaky sea salt.
Step 3: Cook the first side of the meat on a hot grill.
Step 4: When you see moisture appearing on the uncooked side, flip the steak.
Step 5: Test the doneness of your steak by pressing down on it lightly. If soft, the meat is still rare. If it is springy to the touch, its doneness is at medium, and if it is firm, your steak is well done. Cook until your preferred doneness is reached.
Step 6: Remove your steak from the grill and rest it in a warm place for 10 minutes before eating (such as a warm oven). Allowing your steak to rest is a very important step to reduce the amount of juices lost when cutting into it, allowing your steak to be tender, juicy and flavourful.
