Baston Chowda asked:
We have a charcoal grill, and I’ve read to get grill marks, you put oil on the grill bars first, then put on the meat to get the marks. But, what kind of oil is best? And do you put the oil on the grill bars when you start the fire, or right before you put the meat on? I was wondering if putting the oil on early might start a fire?

Personally I think Crisco works best since it has a flavor that compliments steak and red meats fairly well. You can also use butter. You’ll want to let the oil “carbonize” or blacken before you put the steaks on. As you use any grill and the juices and fats of the meat drip onto the grill, the grill will become “seasoned” on it’s own. One of the keys to well defined grill marks is allowing the grill to get good and hot before you put the steaks on.

what you can do i cut an onion in half and rub the grill with the cut part on the grill while the coala are still blazing, also let the grill get really hot so as soon as the meat goes on it sears the mark right on the meat

I don’t put any thing on my grill. Just get the fire good and hot and slap the meat down. That sizzle you hear are the grill marks forming.
