Jon B. Posted November 11, 2016 Report Posted November 11, 2016 A friend forwarded me this post from a cooking site. They are suggesting using Mayonnaise as a "rub" before grilling a steak. I have used mayo as a "rub" on fish before, to help take away the gamey taste but never thought or heard of using it on a steak before grilling. So last night I put a thin coating of mayo on a nice skirt steak, applied a little Adobo seasoning and then smoked the steak, indirect with a little cherry wood. Didn't tell my guinea-pig dinner guest what the "seasoning" was before serving the food. I have to say...it was pretty darn good. It held the seasoning, absorbed the cherry smoke and tasted like I put a nice seasoned butter topping on a finished steak. The test dummy buddy also remarked how good the meat tasted and wanted to know the cooking details. Going to try it again......................the next test will be a reverse sear on a nice rib eye. Worth a try if mayo is part of your diet! 3
MacKenzie Posted November 11, 2016 Report Posted November 11, 2016 Jon, that sounds very interesting and I have some reading to do on that link. I do use mayo on bread and buns before browning them.
ckreef Posted November 11, 2016 Report Posted November 11, 2016 I'm willing to give it a try next steak.

I was a convert to slathering mayo on the outside of my grilled cheese sandwiches instead of butter ages ago. So, this only makes sense. We slather CYM on our butts and briskets - same as in my book!
Aussie Ora Posted November 12, 2016 Report Posted November 12, 2016 I've tried yogurt before can't see why mayo won't do the trickSent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk
