I have. After devouring steaks other houses (not restaurants) I learned there is a secret to grilling great steaks at home.<\/p>\n<p>After finishing a delicious steak dinner at my in-law&#8217;s house, I decided to ask my father-in-law to share his secret. The steaks we had tonight tasted as good as any dinner I have had at a steak restaurant and I wanted to know how I could make them too.<\/p>\n<p>We don&#8217;t have steak very often (steak and three adult boys don&#8217;t usually fit in the budget) but if I was going to spend money on steak at home I wanted it to taste delicious.<\/p>\n<p>One tip I learned from grilling over the years &#8211; the marinade and quality of the meat is as important as how you grill them. If you stand over the grill, open it multiple times, or overcook your meat, it will not taste amazing.<\/p>\n<p>It will taste like one of those hot dogs my dad use to burn every 4th of July. Apparently my dad is the only person in the world who loves charred hotdogs.<\/p>\n<p>However, I digress. Remember that once you put your meat on the grill&#8230; let it be. Don&#8217;t check on it constantly. Set a timer and flip when the timer goes off. Of course much of this depends on your grill and the temperature, and the cut of meat.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend investing in a <a target = \"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2WswpQV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">grill thermometer\u00a0<\/a>so you don&#8217;t overcook your meat.
