Want to learn how to cook the best steak you’ve ever had? After chatting with the executive chef team at Longhorn Steakhouse, we think we know what it takes!
Not too long ago, we met up with the finalists of LongHorn Steakhouse’s Steak Master Series.

They’re trained to cook nine different cuts of steak, so we couldn’t wait to hear their tricks!
Choose your steak wisely
It all starts with choosing the right steak for the job. A thick steak will take forever to reach a well-done temperature, and it’s almost impossible to hit a perfect medium-rare with a thin steak. When in doubt, ask your butcher for 1- to 1.5-inch thick steaks; they’re easy to cook to any temperature.
Season boldly
Whether you’re keeping things simple with salt and pepper or whipping up one of these 31 delicious grilling ideas, make sure you season aggressively. Some of that seasoning will stick to the grill and you don’t want your steak to taste under-seasoned.
