Awesome Tips & Tricks for Grilling Proteins

• Take meat out of fridge to bring it to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.  
• Clean the BBQ grill grate with a metal scraper.
• To reduce sticking spray generously with cooking spray before igniting grill so it does not flame up.
• Preheat your grill on high, scrape again if needed to remove any really tough to remove areas.  
• Create heat zones for two stage cooking;
• Stage One: heat one side of grill to high heat; sear the meat on each side for 2 minutes, rotating to get cross-hatching marks.
• Stage Two: heat second side of grill to low or off; place the seared meat here until reaches desired temperature.
• Invest in a high quality probe thermometer.
• To get the best reading; probe the meat on the side inserting the probe into the center of the cut of meat.
• Grilling is a little like cooking on the Mojave desert — dry, dry and hot, hot, hot!  Make sure to use your grilling sauce and apply it with each rotation so the protein stay nice and moist on the inside.
• Once meat reaches 5 degrees below desired temperature move to a resting plate and tent with foil to keep warm without sweating.
• Rest meat for 5 minutes to slow the juices.
• Serve and Enjoy!
