How to braai the perfect steak on Heritage Day
This is a skill you can master in no time...
The one thing you really should be able to comfortably braai perfectly at your own house is a steak. If you stick to a few basic guidelines and pay attention to what you are doing, this is a skill you will master in no time.
Braaing the perfect steak assumes that the actual steak you are braaing is of a certain quality. However good you braai it, a bad piece of meat is never going to turn out great.
Here are 5 guidelines in making the perfect, yummy steak:
1- The steak should be at room temperature by the time it goes onto the fire.
2- Steaks should be done medium rare.
3-Take the time when the steaks go onto the grid and take them off after about 7 minutes.
4- Use braai tongs, not a fork, to turn the meat. A fork will make holes in the meat, and you might lose some juice.
5- Meat needs to “rest” a bit after the braai, before you eat it.
