Cooking
Tips of the Month
Believe
it or not...
Steaks should be at room
temperature before grilling. Do not cook
if the meat is frozen or chilled. Once
the steak is cooked, it is important to
let it sit for a few minutes before
slicing.
Here's
why...
During the
cooking process, the meat proteins
constrict and essentially squeeze out
their juices. Letting meat sit and rest
after cooking partially reverses this
process. If you let your steak rest for
5 minutes on a separate plate, the
liquid should redistribute throughout
the meat. The meat ends up retaining
more flavor and will be juicier. Cover
it with some tin foil to keep it warm.
