For those of you are so inclined to barbecue this summer, check out this free booklet (PDF) from 2006 from Weber Barbecue called Steak Boot Camp.

For 15 years, Weber has surveyed consumers across the country to find out what America loves to grill. What tops the list? Steak. Sure, burgers, hot dogs, and brats are all delicious on the grill, but nothing makes a griller’s heart palpitate like a big, juicy, perfectly cooked steak.

A good steak is one of life’s simple pleasures, but grilling it to perfection takes a little knowledge and skill. But once you’ve got it down, you’ll be able to grill steaks every bit as good as what you’d get at a high-priced steak joint. Just follow these tips and techniques and you’ll be large and in charge in no time when it comes to steak.
