Grilled beef - tips and tricks
• Do not use large amounts of lemon juice or vinegar when marinating meat. Beef acid gets tighter, steak can get dry. If you like the taste and aroma of lemon, then you can sprinkle the meat after cooking already on the plate.
• American chefs believe that metal or plastic dishes should not be used for pickling beef steaks. Ideally used porcelain, ceramics, glass. And be sure to need a tight lid.
• It is not necessary to use a lot of salt for pickling, as it draws moisture from the meat. It is better to salt the pieces already on the grill or directly on the plate.
