• Slit the fat and membrane of a steak or chop at 1-inch intervals to prevent the edges from curling.
• Brush melted butter or an herb-oil mixture on lean cuts of meat. This keeps the meat surface moist and adds flavor.

• Use tongs, not a fork, to turn the meat--a fork will prick the meat and cause a loss of juices.
