The time to grill a juicy steak is now. Beef you say? Let this blog be your official grass-fed guide to selecting the right steak. The journey always begins at a Lunds or Byerlys meat counter and then it happens. Which cut should I get? What if I over cook it? What if I under cook it? Will it dry out if my guests are late? And so it begins, as you examine your level of apprehension a little voice in the back your mind is saying “let’s just grill chicken, it’s easy and everyone loves it”.
Please tell that little voice that 70% of the battle is simply selecting the right cut for the occasion. Being mindful of your elements and equipment as well as the overall mood and theme of your event is really all you need to do to become a steak hero. Tonight!
