There’s no substitute for a good grilled steak. Cooked to perfection over hot coals, on a gas grill, or even over a campfire, it’s one of the simplest yet most impactful staples of a Primal diet. But steak is also more complicated than you think. There’s a lot that goes into preparing the perfect steak, from choosing the ideal cut to marinating, searing, and cooking it to the right temperature—all while keeping the meat moist, tender, and juicy.

While there are plenty of different paths to a juicy steak, we discovered one that you might not have considered: a mayo (or whipped spread) coat. Mayo on steak makes it extra tender and moist. Slather your cut of meat with a liberal dose of Primal Kitchen Real Whipped Tangy Dressing & Spread before cooking and all of those rich, meaty juices will be retained throughout the process. In our video experiment, we also used the “reverse sear” technique of cooking low and slow in the oven followed by a few minutes on the grill. The result is one of the best steaks we’ve ever had!
