Not only will you be eating premium cuts, but you will also be supporting the local value chain in your community. While it may be more affordable to buy from the big supermarket chains, in the end you are what you eat, and your body will thank you for choosing wisely. You\u2019ll also notice the difference in taste when buying from a local butcher as the quality of the meat is superior.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Let your steak rest after it has come out of the fridge <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Don\u2019t put your steak on the grill straight after taking it out the fridge. Make sure to let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes prior to cooking. This simple tip helps you cook the steak more evenly to ensure the same consistent goodness with every bite.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Season heavily<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Don\u2019t be shy with the seasoning! If you season your steak just before cooking, it will help to impart flavour into the meat. But be careful not to season your meat too early before cooking as the salt will draw out the moisture, resulting in a less juicy piece of meat.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend seasoning generously with Maldon Sea Salt which contains the perfect balance of natural minerals. The Maldon pyramid flakes have been skilfully made using the same traditional artisan methods in the coastal town of Maldon since 1882.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Bring the heat<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you have a meat thermometer, the ideal temperature for cooking a steak is between 120\u00b0C to 125\u00b0C. Don\u2019t worry if you don\u2019t have a meat thermometer though, you can also let your coals heat up and then use this nifty trick: hold your hand over the coals at the height you\u2019d place your steak, if you can keep it there for 5 seconds without feeling \u2018<em>the burn\u2019, <\/em>you\u2019ve hit the right temperature and can start cooking.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Medium rare for the best flavour<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>How long you need to cook the steak for depends on its thickness. You can keep an eye on the sides of your meat to see how much has been cooked already. If your temperature is correct, it should take about 2-4 minutes on each side. Medium-rare brings a steak that is juicier and more flavourful to the table. But don\u2019t force this opinion onto everyone. The best braai master always cooks steak to people\u2019s preferences.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong> Let your steak rest<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Remember to let your steak rest after cooking so it can reabsorb and distribute the juices that have been pressurized during the high heat. If you cut the steak too soon, you\u2019ll be left with a final product that is tough and dry.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong> Don\u2019t cut the steak too thinly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Slicing the steak creates multiple, flexible portions, so those that are hungry can grab more while those who can\u2019t finish an entire steak don\u2019t have to feel bad about wasting food. Be careful not to slice too thinly though as you still want to enjoy that satisfying feeling of biting into a juicy piece of steak.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/1990\/09\/Test-0108978_Edit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-93473\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/1990\/09\/Test-0108978_Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1150\" height=\"767\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong> Always add more salt<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Did you know that salt is the ultimate flavour enhancer? At low concentrations, it reduces bitterness and boosts the sweet, sour, and umami flavours. At higher concentrations, it suppresses sweetness and enhances umami, which is ideal for savoury dishes. Moral of the story? More salt equals a more flavourful steak! But not all salt was created equal. For the best results, use a superior salt like Maldon. It is trusted by professional chefs around the world and has the perfect balance of natural minerals that offers a fresh intensity and wonderful taste to enhance any dish naturally.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong> Add some veggies and enjoy <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forger about the sides! The perfect steak is best accompanied by deliciously seasoned potato wedges (we love Maldon Salt and the Weber Chilli Explosion grinder to bring extra heat) and a fresh green salad.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/1990\/09\/Test-0108678_Edit.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-93474\" src=\"http:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/1990\/09\/Test-0108678_Edit.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1150\" height=\"767\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-8220 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0663_Edit-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0663_Edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0663_Edit-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0663_Edit-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0663_Edit-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/IMG_0663_Edit-220x220.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108794_Edit-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108794_Edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108794_Edit-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108794_Edit-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108794_Edit-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108794_Edit-220x220.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108906_Edit-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108906_Edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108906_Edit-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108906_Edit-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108906_Edit-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0108906_Edit-220x220.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0109014_Edit-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0109014_Edit-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0109014_Edit-192x192.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0109014_Edit-384x384.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0109014_Edit-110x110.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.food-blog.co.za\/durban\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Test-0109014_Edit-220x220.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Braai Day only a few days away, it\u2019s time to brush up on your grill skills.
