Searing Meat


Essentially, searing cooks the outside of the meat very quickly. By doing so, you trap the meats natural moisture and juices inside of it. This is accomplished by heating your BBQ grill up to a higher than normal temperature, say 400 degrees F. to 500 degrees F.


All you have to do is cook your meat for a short period of time, usually just a few minutes and then back the BBQ temperature off to 300 or 400 degrees F. The best way to learn is by practice, so the first time you try, don't use your most expensive steak. Also be careful about your BBQ's thermometer, not all thermometers are accurate. You may need to use a meat probe to get a good reading.
