Tried to impress the family with grilled steaks this weekend and somehow managed to burn them on the outside and leave them raw on the inside. My kids literally asked if this was a new recipe. I've watched YouTube videos, followed the instructions, but something about me and a grill just doesn't work. Do I just accept that I'm a stovetop guy or is there hope for me?
I've accepted that grilling is not my thing. We have a perfectly good oven and stovetop that don't judge me. No shame in knowing your limits.
This is actually funny because I'm usually good at grilling but last weekend I totally whiffed on some burgers. My 8yo was like 'Dad maybe we should call for pizza.' Kid's got a point sometimes.
Man, we've all been there. I started just doing really simple stuff like burgers and hot dogs until I got better at it. No shame in admitting defeat and ordering pizza instead.
This is why I stick to the basics. Steaks are honestly harder than people think. Next time try a rub and medium-high heat, not max. You got this.
Dude, I did the exact same thing last month. Turns out I didn't realize my grill's temperature was running hot. My advice is get a cheap meat thermometer and trust the numbers instead of trying to time it by feel.
Dude I feel this in my soul. Tried to grill last month and somehow managed to char the outside while the inside was still cold. My kids started calling me the grill killer.

Pro tip - invest in a meat thermometer. Changed my grilling game completely. No more guessing, just stick it in and you know exactly when it's done.
