Cooking a cold steak<\/strong><\/h3>\nCooking a cold steak will result in an undercooked steak. Make sure to set your steak at room temperature for 30 minutes to climatize the steak and bring it to room temperature to ensure it cooks evenly throughout the entire steak.<\/p>\n
3. Seasoning steak too late<\/strong><\/h3>\nA big mistake is seasoning a steak<\/a> immediately before grilling. It\u2019s best to season your steak with coarse sea salt and pepper or Omaha Steaks seasoning<\/a> 30 minutes before grilling to allow the seasoning to permeate the meat and enhance the natural beef flavors. For even better results, try a simple dry brine<\/a> to tenderize and season your steak.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20M0013-Father-Day-Grilling.00_00_35_49.Still005.jpg” alt=”New York strip steaks being dry brined on a wire rack.” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″ box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” hover_enabled=”0″ z_index_tablet=”500″ text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
4. Steak sticks to the grill<\/strong><\/h3>\nYou want to enjoy that beautiful steak crust, not have it stick to the grill grates. Keep steaks from sticking to a hot grill by applying a bit oil to the grates just before grilling. To oil the grates, you can used tongs and a rolled-up paper towel dipped in oil or a grill spray.<\/p>\n
5. Grill is not hot enough<\/strong><\/h3>\nKeep your grill HOT for best results. Use both indirect and direct heat on your gas or charcoal grill. Sear the first side of your steak on the hot side of the grill and finish in indirect heat after flipping.<\/p>\n
6. Flipping the steak too soon or too often<\/strong><\/h3>\nFollow the 60\/40 rule and flip your steak once for an evenly cooked steak. This means 60% of the cook time is on the first side, flip, and cook the other side for 40% of the time. Use the Omaha Steaks mobile app with built-in steak timer<\/a> or our steak cooking chart<\/a> to nail your cooking times.<\/p>\n7. Not temping your steak<\/strong><\/h3>\nNo one wants undercooked or overcooked steaks<\/a>. The most accurate way to measure steak doneness is with a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer in the center or meatiest portion of the steak and use our steak doneness and temperature guide<\/a> or the chart below to cook to your ideal doneness.<\/p>\n\n- Rare:120\u00b0F<\/li>\n
- Medium-Rare: 130\u00b0F<\/li>\n
- Medium: 140\u00b0F<\/li>\n
- Medium-Well: 150\u00b0F<\/li>\n
- Well: 160\u00b0+F<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

8. Opening the grill lid frequently<\/strong><\/h3>\nEvery time you open the grill to \u2018peek\u2019, you drop the temperature of the grill. This will result in an uneven cook. Leave the lid closed until it\u2019s time to flip your steak. This will also prevent flareups, keeping you safe while grilling. Use our steak cooking chart<\/a> or Omaha Steaks mobile app<\/a> with built-in timer to estimate the best times to flip your steak. Our mobile app can even be used to cook multiple steak cuts<\/a> at the same time. Just start a timer for each of your steaks, and the app will alert you when it\u2019s time to start each steak, flip, and remove to ensure each steak is cooked to your desired doneness. This means everyone can eat at the same time.<\/p>\n9. Cutting the steak too soon<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe biggest secret to a juicy, tender steak is allowing it to rest 5-10 minutes after grilling. This simple step allows the juices to redistribute ensuring every bite is juicy and flavorful. Resist the temptation to cut into the steak immediately. We promise, it is worth the wait!<\/p>\n

For even better results, try a simple dry brine<\/a> to tenderize and season your steak.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/20M0013-Father-Day-Grilling.00_00_35_49.Still005.jpg” alt=”New York strip steaks being dry brined on a wire rack.” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ z_index_tablet=”500″ box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px|0px|0px|0px” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px” hover_enabled=”0″ z_index_tablet=”500″ text_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” text_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” link_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” link_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ul_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ul_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” ol_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” ol_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” quote_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” quote_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_2_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_2_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_3_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_3_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_4_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_4_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_5_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_5_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” header_6_text_shadow_horizontal_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_vertical_length_tablet=”0px” header_6_text_shadow_blur_strength_tablet=”1px” box_shadow_horizontal_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_vertical_tablet=”0px” box_shadow_blur_tablet=”40px” box_shadow_spread_tablet=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n You want to enjoy that beautiful steak crust, not have it stick to the grill grates. Keep steaks from sticking to a hot grill by applying a bit oil to the grates just before grilling. To oil the grates, you can used tongs and a rolled-up paper towel dipped in oil or a grill spray.<\/p>\n Keep your grill HOT for best results. Use both indirect and direct heat on your gas or charcoal grill. Sear the first side of your steak on the hot side of the grill and finish in indirect heat after flipping.<\/p>\n Follow the 60\/40 rule and flip your steak once for an evenly cooked steak. This means 60% of the cook time is on the first side, flip, and cook the other side for 40% of the time. Use the Omaha Steaks mobile app with built-in steak timer<\/a> or our steak cooking chart<\/a> to nail your cooking times.<\/p>\n No one wants undercooked or overcooked steaks<\/a>. The most accurate way to measure steak doneness is with a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer in the center or meatiest portion of the steak and use our steak doneness and temperature guide<\/a> or the chart below to cook to your ideal doneness.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Blog-Supplementary-Image-2.jpg” alt=”closed grill” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Every time you open the grill to \u2018peek\u2019, you drop the temperature of the grill. This will result in an uneven cook. Leave the lid closed until it\u2019s time to flip your steak. This will also prevent flareups, keeping you safe while grilling. Use our steak cooking chart<\/a> or Omaha Steaks mobile app<\/a> with built-in timer to estimate the best times to flip your steak. Our mobile app can even be used to cook multiple steak cuts<\/a> at the same time. Just start a timer for each of your steaks, and the app will alert you when it\u2019s time to start each steak, flip, and remove to ensure each steak is cooked to your desired doneness. This means everyone can eat at the same time.<\/p>\n The biggest secret to a juicy, tender steak is allowing it to rest 5-10 minutes after grilling. This simple step allows the juices to redistribute ensuring every bite is juicy and flavorful. Resist the temptation to cut into the steak immediately. We promise, it is worth the wait!<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/steak-grilling-mistakes-and-how-to-fix-them.jpg” alt=” Grilled steaks covered with foil.” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Avoid these nine grilling mistakes and impress your friends and family with your steak grilling skills.<\/p>\n More articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/steak-doneness.jpg” alt=”A meat fork holds slices of steak cooked to different levels of doneness, ranging from well-done to rare.” title_text=”steak doneness” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_cta title=”Steaks for Everyone” button_url=”https:\/\/www.omahasteaks.com\/buy\/Steaks?SRC=RZ0636″ button_text=”Shop Now” admin_label=”Call To Action” _builder_version=”4.16″ use_background_color=”off” background_layout=”light” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Shop steaks by cut, texture, flavor \u2014 whatever you prefer!
