The Wrong Ways to Grill–and How to Do It Right - In honor of my difficult task of attempting to grill Filet Mignons at night over the weekend (which was a bad idea considering the light I have outside provided little visibility), I found this article on the wrong ways to grill.
The 10 Most Common Grilling Mistakes - Here’s another article regarding common grilling mistakes. Apparently, cooking on the grill at night with bad lighting is not considered a mistake worth noting. Probably because it should be common sense…something I apparently lacked in this situation.

I’m not a professional chef…far from it. But I enjoy cooking. So I decided to start a website to keep track of all my favorite recipes. While I share my recipes with you, I hope you’ll share yours with me.

I read both of these articles and liked them both. I’m partial to charcoal grilling and don’t even own a propane grill. I’m hoping to have the time this summer to try some smoking techniques and grilling with wood chips instead of on planks.
I thought it was interesting in the 10 Most Grilling Mistakes article that the writer advises NOT to let your beef warm up to room temperature and goes further to say that people who recommend that have never been in a properly run steak house kitchen. I understand it from a bacteria and microorganism perspective but think that’s a strong comment to make considering there are a lot of Chefs who recommend doing just that. Further, I admit to allowing my steaks to sit on the counter prior to cooking no more than a half an hour after removing from the fridge. I like my steak rare and have yet to get sick from this technique.
