Can 'Braising' Steak be Grilled (in a George Foreman)?

Question

Bought some braising steak from the supermarket, doesnt say anything about being able to be grilled (in a george foreman). Is it ok to do this? I dont really know what braising means, the meat just looked nice...

Answer 1

braising implies cooking in liquid... like a stew.
The reason is that the cut of meat is "less tender" and dry cooking methods, like the George Foreman, will produce chewy, tough results.

You can try grilling a little piece to see if you like the results.

I've grilled less tender cuts that I've marinaded or seasoned. I know I'm not going to get a tender result like from a Filet Mignon or a NY Strip, but grilling does produce nice flavor. It just depends upon how much chewing you can handle. Also, try cutting really thin across the grain.

Answer 2

When I get braising steak, I often make stir-fry with it. Or, perhaps you could marinate it for several hours and then try it on the George Foreman. I have a Foreman, and it does make cooking so easy. Unless you're really trying to impress with your meal, I don't think it matters that much if your steak is a little on the dry side.

Answer 3

Braising is a moist-heat method of cooking. This is usually reserved for tough cuts of meat. My guess is that if you grill on the GF you will have a very tough peice of meat. You might could get away with it if you grill it no more than medium doneness, then slice super-thinly across the grain to serve.

Answer 4

ya. marinate it
