:: Steak ::

   When buy a steak
     Buy steaks that are 1 ¼" - 2" thick. This will allow them to sear on the outside without being overdone on the inside.

   To cook the best tasting steaks

 

   You need very high heat to sear and char the steak on the outside.

   To prevent an overdone steak
     Steaks continue to cook after being removed from the grill. Remove your steak a little before it is cooked the way you like it, so that it does not become overdone.
    :: Marinated ::

   Do not use aluminum
    Avoid aluminum containers because the acid in the marinade will react with this metal and begin to corrode it, causing off flavors in the food.

   Soaking time
   Limit the amounts of time that foods soak in the marinade. In general foods with open textured flesh, such as fish and seafood need less then 45 minutes of soaking.
