FROM KILL TO GRILL – BISON STEAK

BEYOND FLAVOR: THE IMPORTANCE OF COOKING TECHNIQUE

HUXWRX Safety Co., famed for its innovative suppression technology, has teamed up with Broil King®, the embodiment of grilling excellence, to bring the kill to the grill.

The art of grilling is often debated: is it about the fancy ingredients or the masterful technique? While both are important, there's one undeniable truth: after the meat, the main ingredient is heat. Marinades, injections, and sauces are undoubtedly powerful tools in a chef's arsenal, but they are elements of flavor, not skill.

Let’s be clear: flavor is essential. It's what tantalizes our taste buds and keeps us coming back for more. But relying solely on these flavor enhancers to mask poorly cooked meat is a disservice to the dish and, frankly, to the diner.

Heat is not just a tool; it's the key to unlocking the potential of your dish. How you apply that heat will determine the texture, juiciness, and overall quality of your finished product. A perfectly cooked bison steak, for instance, will have a beautiful sear on the outside and a tender, juicy interior with a touch of medium-rare pink down the middle. No amount of sauce can replicate that.

This isn't to say that marinades, injections, and sauces are without merit. They can elevate a dish to extraordinary heights when used judiciously. But they should never be seen as a crutch to compensate for a lack of cooking technique.

So, the next time you fire up the grill, focus on the fundamentals like temperature control, time management, and rest. Use your flavoring techniques strategically to complement, not compensate. For instance, a subtle hint of marinade can be applied before grilling to enhance the natural flavors of the meat, and a drizzle of sauce can be added just before serving to add a burst of flavor. These techniques can transform a good dish into a great one. You'll be amazed at the difference it makes.
