Those steaks will really level up your Memorial Day barbecue. To make sure you do them justice, follow these five grilling tips — courtesy of Weber, an innovative grilling company. 1. Salt your steak a full 20–30 minutes before you cook it for maximum flavor and the perfectly crisp crust. Don’t be afraid of using too much salt. The pros really pack it on! 2. After salting, let your steak stand at room temperature for those 20–30 minutes before you throw it on the grill. Warming up your steak will ensure it cooks evenly and the center stays juicy. 3. Don’t forget to sear your steak. Professional chefs leave their steaks directly over the heat until they turn dark brown, and you should do the same to get the most out of your Omaha cuts. With FREE Omaha Steaks From O’Connor Law!
4. That said, if you’re grilling a really thick cut of meat, don’t leave it over direct heat the whole time. Instead, practice the “sear and slide” approach. Sear both sides, then use your grill tongs, fork, or spatula to scoot it away from the flames to finish cooking. Otherwise, your steak may char before the center warms up! 5. Last but not least, babysit your steak. Don’t walk away from the grill; it only takes a minute for a cut to go from succulent to dry. When in doubt, opt for pulling your steaks off the heat a bit early. You can always cook them more, but you can’t turn back the clock. Good luck! And remember, we hold contests with amazing prizes every month. To ensure that you never miss out on the action, email us at News@NYWorkersLaw.com and sign up for our weekly email newsletter.
The 3 Strangest Celebrity Lawsuits
Internet conspiracy theory results in a court case against Beyoncé. The internet is a wild place, and conspiracy theories are often born on its digital channels. One such theory was that Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, hired a surrogate to give birth to their daughter, Blue Ivy, in 2012. Internet trolls who saw her pregnant belly roll as she sat down for an interview fanned the flames of this theory, and soon, a lawsuit emerged. A woman claimed she was the true biological mother of Blue Ivy, and she asked for compensation and DNA testing to prove it. Previously, the same woman claimed to be the birth mother of North West, the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, but the court threw out the case. Mila Kunis ruffles some feathers. Actress Mila Kunis was sued for $5,000 by her childhood friend, Kristina Karo, in 2015 because Kunis allegedly stole a chicken from Karo when they were still children in Ukraine. Karo, an aspiring singer, claimed the theft resulted in extreme emotional distress and prevented her from pursuing the American dream. According to Kunis, the theft occurred when she was 7 years old and Karo was just 1 month old. Kunis and her husband, actor Ashton Kutcher, speculated that the case was all a publicity stunt to promote Karo’s upcoming music video, and the case was eventually dropped.
Stories about celebrities can be enjoyable or awkward, but no matter what happens, they usually create great material for Buzzfeed or Reddit users. This also includes celebrity stories involving the law, which bring on a lot of head-scratching and legal action — like these three strange cases. Simon Cowell pays for a chef’s disappearing shoes. Known for his unrelenting critiques and setting the stage for some of the world’s biggest names in show business, Simon Cowell has amassed enough wealth to afford a private chef. When one such chef came by his house for a job interview, she was asked to remove
her shoes, but according to court documents, she never received her shoes back. The chef claims to have tried multiple times to retrieve the shoes — which were outfitted with $500 orthopedic insoles — but never succeeded. She sued
Cowell for the shoes and gas money, and the
“America’s Got Talent” star shelled out.
