When it comes to your meats (think steak, chicken, lamb chops, ribs…) don’t underestimate the power of seasoning. It can be as simple as salt and pepper, but don’t skip this step if you want to enhance the flavor of your meat. Another great option is to marinade your meat ahead of time to allow it to absorb the flavors of the sauce. In addition to the flavor benefits, studies show “marinating meat, poultry and fish for at least 10 minutes can reduce the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs), a cancer-causing compound formed when meat cooks at high temperatures.”
