And I've never done it before. A first time for everything, right? Basically I know nothing and need some tips. I got a rib eye from Aldi's and a seasoning. I tend to prefer medium well and cook on a george foreman grill. (live in an apartment)
Apparently there's a lot more to cooking a steak than just preheating the thing and slapping it on. What's the deal with seasonings? Marinades? Google is saying to put seasonings on and rub them in then pour a marinade over it in a bowl, wrap it up and leave it in the fridge a day. Other links are saying don't mess with the rib eye at all, that it's fine as it is.
Some cook the steak on the bare grill while others put foil in their GF grill and I don't know what the difference is. Other links say take it out of the fridge but wait until the steak is room temp before cooking it. I want to learn all this stuff and the reasons for it all but I'm out of my depth.
