Let’s admit it. We love steak! And out of all, cedar plank grilled steak is one of the most succulent and scrumptious dishes on the Earth. But to be able to prepare such a rapturous delight, having a well-maintained BBQ grill is a sine qua non.
When you are preparing for an outdoor party, cleaning your BBQ grill can be very time-consuming. But instead of cleaning it yourself, getting it done by an experienced grill cleaning service can be a great idea.
In this recipe, you will be needing a probe thermometer. It is a device that you might be needing a lot while grilling anything on your BBQ. Once you flip the steak onto the cedar plank, you can insert the probe into the deepest and the thickest part of the steak. Set the thermometer for 125°F and wait until the temperature reaches this value.
