American Wagyu<\/a>, which is Japanese Wagyu (a breed of cow) crossbred with traditional American cattle. It’s rich in fat and intensely flavorful. Your supermarket may or may not have Wagyu – mine does, and I enjoy occasionally splurging on it. Waygu makes a special main course you’ll never forget. It is also available via online sellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPrime Grade beef is what’s sold in expensive steakhouses. USDA Prime is riddled with rich marbling and is perfectly fatty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, since so few cattle qualify as USDA Prime grade, acquiring the beef can be difficult. You won’t find USDA Prime cuts of steak at most grocery stores. If you manage to find some, pounce on it – you’ll be happy you did. If you’re feeding a crowd, you’re sure to impress your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re on a budget, you can grill a quality steak on your charcoal grill with a USDA Select piece of beef. Follow my recipes, and people will run to your place for steak night. I’ve found that the best way to score good beef is to befriend a butcher – shop around, tell them you’ve got a nice dinner and want the nicest cut they can find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep the Seasoning Simple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I prefer to let the steak flavor shine through by keeping the seasoning simple – ideally, only salt and pepper are used. That way, the beef and firey grill flavors are center stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you are free to use your favorite BBQ rub, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt, or whatever you love. I’d urge you to stay away from any recipes that have you marinating the meat if it’s a premium cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook the Ultimate Steak, From Grill to Plate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There you have it, everything you need to know to grill steaks that are so tasty, you’ll wish you could have them every night of the week. Steak and charcoal grills are a perfect match, like macaroni and cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember, the key to grilling steak on a charcoal grill is to cook wide steaks over indirect heat until they hit 110\u00b0F, and to finish them by searing over high, direct heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For thin steaks, crank that charcoal grill up to a scorching temperature, and toss the steaks on there. Flip them quickly, and monitor the grill – the juices from the steaks can drip down and make some big flames. Prepare yourself. Ok, the wait is over – time to get grilling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The key to cooking steak on a charcoal grill depends on the thickness of the steak – if the steak is thicker than an inch, you should cook it over indirect heat first, and then reverse sear that bad boy. If I’m cooking up skinny steaks (1 inch thick or less), then I get my […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":284,"featured_media":17891,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,5],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17882"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/284"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17882"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17882\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18305,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17882\/revisions\/18305"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17891"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17882"},{"taxonomy":"table_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pitmastercentral.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/table_tags?post=17882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
