My problem is that i always cook meat at room tempature and i want to be able to marinate and warm up the meat at the same time. Marinating at room temperature can allow dangerous bacteria to grow and lead to foodborne illnesses. Just remember to remove the meat about an hour before grilling so it has a chance to come to room temperature. When you re ready to cook shake off any excess marinade and let the steak come to room temperature then prepare the steak however you like it.

Why can t i just soak the meat in the marinade and leave it out on the counter for an hour or two. A freezing cold steak won t cook evenly. Let meat come to room temperature before cooking. Take your steak out of the fridge about 20 minutes before grilling to bring it to room temperature.

Marinade for one hour. Place the meat into a container and add your favorite marinade making sure it covers the steak completely and refrigerate for 2 24 hours depending on the strength of the marinade. If you are using enzymes you need marinade it at room temperature. While the effects of marinades are often debated we can all agree that prime steaks like t bone and strip steak are best salted peppered and cooked to temperature.

Pare down the tools. The bacteria would be killed at that temperature any way. Simply blotting your steak with paper towels before searing it will improve it far better than any amount of room temperature resting will. All other steaks benefit from a marinade to help with flavor and tenderness.

Similarly salting the steak about 40 minutes in advance long enough to let salt draw out liquid and then for that liquid to be re absorbed leaving a dryer surface will also improve it. You have to cook till the internal temperature has reached about 140 degree f. Thin cuts of steak shouldn t marinate for more than 10 or 12 hours so this is not so. But for thick cuts like a big pork chop or animals you re roasting whole like a chicken or turkey a little tempering i e letting it come up to room temperature makes a big difference.
