Mastering the Art of the Perfect Steak: A 360 Grills Guide
Alright, grill masters, let's talk steak. That juicy, flavorful centerpiece of any backyard barbecue. But achieving steak perfection requires more than just tossing a slab of meat on the grill. It's a culinary art form, and we're here to guide you through it.
Choosing Your Cut:
First things first, you need the right canvas. Here are a few popular choices:
- Ribeye: Known for its rich marbling and buttery flavor.
- New York Strip: Leaner than ribeye, with a firm texture and robust flavor.
- Filet Mignon: The most tender cut, prized for its melt-in-your-mouth texture.
- T-bone: A two-for-one deal, offering both tenderloin (filet mignon) and strip steak.
Prepping Your Steak:
- Bring it to room temperature: Take your steak out of the fridge about 30 minutes before grilling. This allows for even cooking.
- Pat it dry: Moisture is the enemy of a good sear. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the surface of your steak.
- Season generously: Salt and pepper are classic choices, but don't be afraid to experiment with garlic powder, onion powder, or your favorite steak seasoning.
Grilling Time:
Now for the main event! Here's where your grill choice really matters. For optimal heat distribution and to prevent those pesky flare-ups that can char your steak, consider grills with advanced technology like:
- Lion Premium Grills: Their innovative briquette system ensures even heat distribution and minimizes flare-ups, giving you consistent results every time.
- Kokomo Grills: These grills also utilize a briquette system for superior heat control and a flare-up-free grilling experience.

Temperature and Doneness:
Use a meat thermometer to ensure your steak is cooked to your liking:
- Rare: 125-130°F (52-54°C)
- Medium-rare: 130-135°F (54-57°C)
- Medium: 135-140°F (57-60°C)
- Medium-well: 140-145°F (60-63°C)
- Well-done: 145°F+ (63°C+)
Rest and Enjoy:
Once your steak is cooked, let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
