For juicy meat and a great crust, choose a thicker cut such as rib eye. Because this type of steak takes longer to cook, it will have time to develop a nice sear.

So many recipes for meat dishes contain; "(a thermometer inserted horizontally into center of meat ---)". Don't!! A thermometer inserted horizontally into center of meat allows juices to run out. Learn to trust your eyes and feel for the tenderest and juiciest cooked meats.

thank you for the simple recipe for summer. Recently, my family and I enjoyed an Indian Summer Dinner; a lime and curry rubbed brisket with a home made cucumber-chutney relish http://moreismoremom.wordpress.com/2010/10/14/grill-it-and-serve-it-with-a-side-of-chutney/ Can't wait to read more of your delcious reicpes....
