Regarding seasoning and searing...

Thanks @acs !
Reading carefully at your points… it seems like almost always you DO season in the bag. Regarding your point “1.5”… does that mean to take it easy on the spices in the bag?

When I grill, I actually brush a little bit of olive oil (with minced garlic) before I cook it. Here I have read a lot about the opposite - drying the meat. Any tips on how to actually do that in practice?

Appreciate the help and will share my first meal!
