Celebrity chef Tyler Florence advises against marinating steak before cooking, suggesting instead to apply marinade two-thirds through grilling as a mop to enhance flavor without burning. This method promotes proper caramelization for a perfect outside crust, deemed essential for a good steak. Florence emphasizes that patience during the grilling process allows for optimal browning, ensuring a flavorful outcome. His insights reflect a broader understanding of grilling techniques, particularly at events like the 5850 Festival where he showcases culinary expertise in a vibrant setting.
During an interview with Tasting Table, Florence said a marinade should be 'something that you apply to the steak two-thirds of the way through as a mop' to ensure the steak achieves proper caramelization on the outside to create a crust, which is the sign of 'a really good steak.'
Rather than pre-marinate and risk burning the sauce in the cooking process, Florence stresses the importance of saving the application of a secondary flavor profile until the very end of grilling.
