How to Get Perfect Grill Marks on Your Cowboy Steaks:

grill marks on steakspacerPlace your Cowboy steaks directly onto a hot grill for a few minutes. Then using tongs or a spatula give each steak a quarter turn to create the second set of marks, resulting in a criss-cross pattern. When it's time to flip the steaks, repeat the process of grilling for a few minutes and then give each a quarter turn.

Some grill masters claim that lightly brushing the grill with olive oil results in nice dark marks. You may need to practice a few times before mastering the art of presentation, but the good news is that a Cowboy steak with not-so-perfect grill marks will still taste great!

For a little variety, this process can also be used to create wonderfull grill marks on any of our Seasoned-Boneless-Skinless Chicken Breasts or our incredibly tender and tasty Pork Tenderloins.
