How to Grill Steak
Grilling is a dry heat method that uses radiant heat to cook an item suspended above the heat source. Some of the juices are caramelized directly onto the surface of the meat while others drip onto the heat source, combust and cause chemical reactions that result in complex flavors. The type of fuel you use, such as charcoal, wood or gas, will determine the types of flavors produced during the cooking process.
