Notes

  • Steak should be cooked at a moderate temperature to prevent over- or undercooking.
  • Use indirect heat so that the outside of the steak does not get burnt while the inside remains juicy.
  • Cut against the grain so that the steak is not tough.
  • Making a steak sauce can amplify the flavors of the steak.
