blackstone griddle cooking tips



There are many reasons to season your steak before grilling. Salt can enhance the flavor of your steak, but it is important to avoid making it too salty. Salty meats will not sear as evenly when seasoned properly. Try a mixture of herbs, lemon juice and cayenne pepper with kosher salt or seasoned-salt. Here are some tips to help you decide what seasoning to use for your steaks.

To season a steak, it is important to make sure that it is at room temperature. Once the meat has reached room temperature add salt and let it sit for about 40 minutes. Some recipes say to cook the steak for only 15 minutes. However, if you wait that long you will get a juicy steak. There are some basic rules to follow regardless of whether you use olive or neutral oil.

Allow your steak to rest at least one hour before you cook it. Rushing the process may cause the water to sit on top of the meat, preventing it from creating a crust. You can get great results by letting your steak sit for up to 48 hours. Although this will require some extra preparation, it is well worth the effort. After the meat has cooled, it is ready to grill. And don't forget to give it at least a few hours before serving.


Salt is the most widely used seasoning agent for steak. It helps break down the meat's fibers and imparts great flavor. Kosher or fine salt are alternatives to coarse salt. Olive oil will enhance the flavor of the steak. To ensure that it sticks to the meat, sprinkle it with olive oil after you season it. You can make a tender steak by adding a few tablespoons to the olive oil before grilling.

A classic steak is incomplete without salt and pepper. Both salt and pepper amplify the flavors of meat and add spice to a dish. Use kosher sea salt if you are making your own marinade. This salt is the right size for your steak, and it will give it a great taste. After marinating the steak, store the marinade in an airtight container or jar and then use it whenever you need.
