Burgers fit in well with Max Greb’s grilling ethos overall, as he noted that he likes to “keep grilling simple in general.” He said most home cooks tend to overcomplicate grilling, thinking they need the biggest grill and other fancy equipment that they likely don’t need in order to make a great meal. But he also explained that just because you’re keeping your grilling simple, that doesn’t mean you have to hold yourself back.
While burgers and hot dogs are go-tos on the grill, especially for those still developing their grill skills, Greb said, “Don’t let inexperience hold you back from experimenting.” He recommended supplementing your burgers and dogs with a good steak, emphasizing buying a steak with some good marbling — but again, keeping things simple when it comes to the seasoning. “Season it simply, with coarse black pepper and flake salt. Grill Mates … is my favorite seasoning when it comes to steak.”
