Whether you do it indoors or outdoors, grilling is the most popular way
to prepare a steak. Grilling Heartland Steaks is quick, easy and
usually doesn't leave much for clean up. Follow these tips for a
perfect Heartland steak every time.
Choose the right steak to grill. Steaks best for grilling are tender
cuts such as Ribeyes, Filet Mignon, T-Bones and Porterhouses. Any of
Heartland Steaks Certified Angus Beef® steaks are perfect for the
grill. Our steaks offer abundant marbling for extra flavor and are cut
thick to withstand the heat from the grill.
Pre-Heat the grill to a high temperature-so that it's almost smoking.
Drop the temperature before placing on the meat to Medium (hold your
hand over the grill, if you can keep it there for four seconds, this is
considered Medium.) If your grill is too hot your steaks may char on
the outside and by rare on the inside. Too high of heat makes it
difficult to evenly cook a steak.
Bring steaks to room temperature (68-72 degrees) before they go on any
hot surface. By cooking steaks at cooler temperatures, the shock of
hitting the hot grill will affect the flavor and texture of the meat.
To keep your steaks juicy take them out of the refrigerator for a half
hour to an hour before cooking.
Place steaks on the grill and cook. It's tempting to keep turning the
steaks, but in order to achieve beautiful grill marks and even cooking,
turn the steaks only once. Always use tongs, never a fork, puncturing
the steaks with a fork will allow the juices to leave the steak.
Depending on the grill, your cook times will vary. Rare (140-150
degrees)is usually 6-7 minutes, Medium(160 degrees) is 9-12 minutes and
12-15 minutes for well(170 degrees). Use the hand test or a meat
thermometer to help you determine the temperature of your steaks.
Once your steak is to your preferred temperature, take off the heat and
let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. Heartland Steaks
are delicious on their own and don't need any additional sauces or
marinades. If you want to enhance the natural flavors of our premium
products, just a little salt or Heartland Steaks' own Barbeque
Seasoning should do the trick.
