Directions

For charcoal grilling, light the briquets about 30 minutes in advance.

Begin grilling when coals are covered with a light ash and are no longer flaming. Grill all beef cuts over medium to medium-low termperature coals. Coals too hot can cause beef to overcook on the outside before the interior reaches the desired doneness.

Beef is at its most flavorful when cooked just to the proper doneness and not overcooked. Determine doneness of steaks by making a small slit near the bone and checking color; for boneless cuts, make a slit near the center.

Medium Rare--Center is very pink, and slightly brown toward the exterior.

Medium--Center is light pink; outer portion is brown.

Well Done--Uniform brown throughout.

Use long-handled tongs for turning steaks; spatulas for turning burgers. Do not use a fork, which pierces the beef allowing flavorful juices to escape.
