You Must Know

  • Let the steak rest after grilling to retain juices—slicing too soon will dry it out.
  • For deeper flavor, char tomatoes cut-side down on the grill for 1 minute before adding to salad.
  • Use high-quality balsamic glaze; it should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Chef's Notes

Serving Suggestions
