TIPS AND TRICKS FOR YOUR GRILLING SEASON  

Let’s prevent your perfect cut from going up in flames this summer with some expert tips and tricks to ensure every bite this summer is spot on. Make sure to preheat your grill. For cuts like ribeye that thrive under intense heat, preheating your grill allows you to start on that high heat and get that perfect steakhouse sear. Don’t flip too often. Flipping your meat too often can make it lose its juices, leading to a dry result. Let it develop its proper crust before flipping to lock in those juices. Also, invest in a digital thermometer. To prevent undercooking and overcooking, get an easily readable digital meat thermometer so you don’t have to second-guess.   Now that you have all the tips and tricks for choosing the right cut and getting your grill on, it's time to fire up those grills and impress your family and friends. Whether you are choosing one of these cuts or the many others, great grilling starts with quality ingredients and excellent techniques.
