Steak temperature

[JD McGee]

Should I marinate or just dry rub the steak or the roast beef steak? Which gives it a crisper surface?

I use dry rubs...usually just salt and pepper. I let mine stand at room temp for an hour (seasoned) before tossing them on the grill. :razz:

In my opinion, a good steak only needs to be seasoned with a little salt and pepper, maybe a little garlic.

Yep! :razz:

I agree.

I marinate beef if I am using it as a component in a dish, like maybe fajitas, tacos, or sandwich. But if it's a nicely seared steak, with the caramelized crust I'm after... dry rub only, and a very simple one at that.
