Video Transcript: Hi, everyone. I'm Kevin Coleman, Weber's grilling expert. It's a beautiful day outside, we're in front of our grill, it doesn't get any better until you look at these steaks. And that's the topic of today's Masterclass, how to grill the perfect steak. We're going to give you 10 easy tips to follow to take your steak grilling skills to another level. 1. Now the first tip, is make your grilling game plan. You need to know what kind of steak you're cooking, and how thick, that way we know how long it's going to be on the grill. Also, make sure you're taking your steaks out 10 to 15 minutes before you grill them, that way they can come up to room temperature. 2. You've made your grilling game plan, now let's go on a tip number two, and that's taking an inventory of our grill. Now you need to look inside. If you're noticing any debris, you need to clean that out. We want as much air circulation going on as possible. This is also a good time to gather any accessories and tools that we're going to need for grilling these steaks. 3. We've clean out our grill, we've got all the tools and accessories we're going to need, now let's go to tip number three, preparing our grill. Since these steaks are going to take less than 20 minutes, we're going to be using the direct method. 4. We've got our grill prepared, and that's what takes us to tip number four, pre-heating your grill, and this is by far the most important step in grilling a steak. This sets the whole tone. This brings that grow up to temperature, and that's what helps and searing. Those beautiful grill marks that we see, that's where all that great flavor comes from. So pre-heating is critical. The reasons why we oil our food and not the grates is it creates a barrier between the food and the cooking grates, it helps with caramelization and it also helps the food from sticking to the cooking grates. 5. Once you've oiled both sides, now it's time to season, and this is going to add some great flavor to your grilled steak. We've got our steaks prepared. 6. Now we're on the tip number six, which is cleaning our cooking grates. Today, we're going to be using our gourmet barbecue system with sear grate insert, which helps create perfect grill marks on your steak. Just remember, the best time to clean your cooking grates is right after you preheat your grill. 7. We've got our cooking grates cleaned, now let's put our steak side. 8. We've got our food on, and our timer has gone off, and that takes us to tip number eight, which is searing. And that usually happens in the first two to three minutes when we put our food on a hot grate. 9. Our timer has gone off again, which means it's time to flip, and that's tip number nine. Whenever you're grilling directly, you should only turn your food once. 10. We've got our steak off the grill, and we're now on tip number 10, letting your food rest. And this should be about 30% to 40% of the total cook time. This will allow it to relax and the juices to one back into it. It's been a beautiful day, we have an amazing steak, and with these 10 tips the next time you grill a steak you won't be disappointed.
