A Walkthrough with Chef Dan
You've ordered your Gibsons GGA steak and it's been delivered...now what? Chef Dan Huebschmann shares his tips & tricks for grilling the perfect steak.
Prep & Cook
1.) Select a great cut of meat. Gibsons offers a variety of pre-packaged steaks, ready to cook at home.
2.) Take the steak out of the fridge. About 20 minutes before grilling take the steak out of the fridge in order to bring it to room temperature. This encourages even, balanced internal temperature.
3.) Preheat the grill for 10-15 minutes. Before you start cooking be sure to use a clean grill and get it nice and hot. Approximately 500 degrees.
4.) Season the steak. Cover the meat liberally on both sides with Gibsons Signature Seasoning Salt. (Approximately 1 teaspoon per side for larger cuts)
5.) Develop a seared crust. Before flipping the steak be sure to develop a seared crust. The meat will stick to the grate if you try to lift it before it is ready. This should take approximately 2-4 minutes. Once the desired amount of char or caramelization is reached, move the steak off of direct heat. Cover the grill and continue cooking until desired temperature is reached.
