Grill Once, Dine Twice

Grilling once to dine twice is a smart way to maximize the grill – and an easy way to enjoy two deliciously different dishes.  Start with twice the amount of steak you need for one meal.  Enjoy the first batch of steaks hot off the grill – and refrigerate the remaining servings to slice for next day salads and sandwiches. 

Steak Preparation 

For naturally tender steaks, a simple rub using fresh herbs and garlic adds a depth of flavor.

For less tender steaks, a basic marinade incorporating acidic ingredients tenderizes and adds flavor.  Marinate the steaks at least six hours, but no more than 24 hours to help achieve perfect results.
