Steaks, Fillets, Diced Pork.
Tougher cuts such asbeef blade, topsidesteak,
lamb forequarter or neck chopscanbeused. To
tenderise these cuts marinate them for afew
hours or overnightin amarinadewith wine
or vinegarto help break downtheconnective
tissue.
It is not recommended to cook itemswith thick
bones such asT-bone steaks.
Donot saltmeatbefore cooking. Saltwill draw
out thejuices toughening themeat.
If using amarinaderecipeor pre-marinated

thegrill plate when cooked.
Donot over cook meat, somemeats are better
served pink and juicy.
