Searing Meats

Searing meat seals in the juices and it is highly recommended for most every piece of meat that you will grill. The basics of searing are fairly easy: you place your meat over high heat for a very short period of time to seal it. Then you flip it to the other side this traps the juices inside of the meat.

To sear properly you must first preheat your grill. This usually takes between 5 and 10 minutes depending on your grill. Once the grill is preheated be sure to place the meat on the hottest part of the grill close the grill cover and wait 1 to 2 minutes. The first time you do this check the meat after one minute, the trick here is if it is still stuck your cooking grates, it's not ready to flip.

If you are searing multiple items, some may stick some and may not. The ones that stick are on cooler parts of the grill and the other ones are ready to turn, when the meat is ready to turn, flip it and repeat the process. Typically here you'll be removing the meat from the hot spot of the grill and/or lowering your flame. That’s all there is to searing, it’s pretty simple once you learn the trick to it.
