There's little more satisfying than watching a steak form that perfect char as it sizzles on your outdoor grill. And while a simple salt-sprinkled cut can be all you need, marinating the meat in a mixture of herbs and spices will amp up its flavor. Mint, ginger, mango, lemongrass--we promise that taking the time to infuse your meat with these flavors will be worth it. And it doesn't stop with steak. These recipes work with chicken, seafood, and some veggies, too.
