How to reproduce charcoal flavor in steaks and burgers from restaurants
Recently I went to a couple of restaurants. I had a burger at one and a steak at the other, both had a distinct taste that I can't describe. Kind of a charcoal taste but I know they were cooked over an open flame. I tried liquid smoke but that didn't work. Does anybody have any ideas?

How do you make burgers taste like chargrilled?
What gives? As it turns out, it's all about the kitchen tools. Most top-notch burger places use a flat-top griddle to cook their burgers. These griddles are set at a consistent temperature, one that allows the burgers to get a sear while cooking evenly on the inside, locking in the juices.Why do restaurant burgers taste different?
Start by baking marinated chicken (or ribs, or whatever) in the oven like you normally would when there aren't any grills available. But after 10 minutes of cooking, open up the oven and\u2014using a culinary brush\u2014coat the outside with a fresh layer of barbecue sauce. After another 10 minutes of cooking, do it again.How do you get charcoal flavor in the oven?
In restaurants, that is well known as the one flavor you can't mask, you just have to dump the whole batch and move on. You can feel free to take a shot at masking it with acid (lemon, vinegar, ...), salt, sugar, and spices, but I don't think it is going to work.The Best Burger I've Ever Made | SAM THE COOKING GUY 4K
