Answer 3

Never push on the meat when cooking. This sqeezes out the juices. Try cooking them a little rarer than normal. I use a meat thermometer. When cooking steak I cook the meat rare than take it off the grill and wrap in foil for 5-10 minutes. the meat will continue to cook and stay juicy. .

Answer 4

A marinade or brine will help keep meat moist and will impart flavors depending on what you use to make the marinade or brine. While the first linked page is about barbecue, it does have links on it regarding marinades and brines. Alton Brown also discusses both of these on Good Eats quite a bit; you can catch his shows on the Food Network or on DVD.

It could also be that you're over-cooking the meat. The linked page below gives a lot of information about cooking times and food safety.

Answer 5

Overcooking is the leading cause of meats drying out. I would recommend using a thermometer and allow time for residual cooking after you remove meat from a pan. Letting it rest allows for the juices in the meat to redistribute, cutting it too soon and you'll find the juice is all over your cutting board instead of in your meat.

Answer 6

You don't want to poke your steak with a meat thermometer and let all of the juices out. Make sure you let the meat rest after cooking and before you cut into it because it will continue to cook a little bit and re-absorb all of the juices.

Answer 7

dont over cook which can be both a time and a heat thing, ie dont leave it in too long at a low heat as much as dont leave it too long on a high heat.

and avoid salting the raw meat as this draws the blood out so sear it or season after the outside cooks.

these are tips for coking the meat au natural.

oh and make sure your not buying old meat or storing it too long at the wrong temp. freezing can burn and dry meat too.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Season and cook dinner the chops on the two factors in a skillet, med- to med-extreme warmth, till no longer pink interior. probably approximately 5 min in line with area, based upon thickness of chops. get rid of to a plate and save heat.

Answer 10

use a cooking wine that will bring out the flavor of the meat...don't worry the alcohol will be cooked out
