I can't grill for shiot. I need simple advice for grilling steak and chicken. Everything I grill turns out charred on the outside and tough on the inside. I need advice on grilling temps and time and that sort of stuff.

dont grill on the flame. if its flaring, move the steaks to the outside till the flame dies down then put back on the hottest part of the grill. the key is not flipping steaks too much (i dont grill chicken so i can't speak for that) only flip a steak 3 times. 3 mins each side (total of 12 minutes) for a medium to rare steak.

500 degrees. Grill on one side until you notice the other side starting to cook, then flip. I only flip my steaks and chicken once, unless they are undercooked. I always cut in to make sure it is done.

Also, I use a gas grill with the lid closed. That retains heat and cooks the top of the meat as well.

Also, with chicken, marinate the breasts in Kraft House Italian dressing, or any other italian dressing for at least 3 hours, but no more than 12. I intentionally char the chicken a little because it adds awesome flaver when marinated with italian.

I am no grill expert. I actually think anyone who thinks they are a grill expert is a goob!

A ribeye from Saltgrass sounds awesome right now.

here are some tips for you.


first off you do want a hot fire In the beginning and after you sear the meat you can lower the temp using vents.

If you are using charcoal you want a single layer of coals. You can use a chimney starter if you want, it gets the coals cherry red in about 15-20 minutes.

after you spread the coals slap the grate and let it heat up for about five. Next scrape the grill and oil it. you can use a brush or spray type olive oil. I have never used another kind but I am sure you can.

Chicken
when cooking chicken breasts its good to put a little olive oil in the marinade, it helps seal in the juices. With chicken breasts I cook them about 6-7 minutes per side total. You can flip after 3 in order to sear both sides quickly. Personally I never have cooked a breast longer than 15minutes.

steak
again you want a hot fire in order to sear it. Steaks with bones will be much more juicy than other cuts. One of my favorites is tri tip santa maria style. I cook a 3-4 pound tri tip for 30 minutes. An important part is letting the meat rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking.

home made santa maria seasoning
2 tspn rosemary
2 tspn garlic powder
2 tspn salt
1 tspn oregano leaves not ground
1-2 tspn ground pepper, depending on how you like it.



good luck

one more hint , let your steak sit out on the counter for 1/2 hour befor you cook it,having the meat at room temp will help out .
