Liquid smoke is a convenient way to add a smoky flavor to dishes, especially grilled steaks. However, using too much can result in an unpleasant taste. Expert chef Silvio Correa emphasizes the importance of moderation, recommending just a few drops for marinades and cautioning against overuse, which can lead to bitterness. Alternative methods include creating real smoke using a smoking chamber. Correa advises blending liquid smoke with other ingredients, such as Worcestershire sauce or spices, to ensure a balanced flavor.
Use sparingly! A few drops mixed into a marinade or brushed on before grilling adds depth without overpowering the meat. Less is more.
Overuse! Too much can make the meat taste artificial and bitter. Always dilute it and blend with other flavors like Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce.
