BBQ Tips, Plus Our Restaurant Steak Marinade Recipe
The smell of barbecue in the air. Lawn chairs filled with friends and family with cold drinks in hand. Backyard BBQs are a summer staple and a great excuse to gather and enjoy delicious, home-cooked food.
Are you looking for a few ways to make your backyard barbecue even better? These expert tips will have your guests begging for your secrets.
- Give your grill plenty of time to preheat. If it’s hot enough, you shouldn’t be able to hold your hand over the grates for more than 2 seconds.
- Let meat rest for half the amount of cooking time used. For example, if you grill a steak for 6 minutes, allow it to rest for 3 minutes before cutting. This seals in all the juices.
- Grill fish fillets on top of slices of lemons, limes, or oranges for sweet citrus flavor.
- Add garlic and thyme to buttermilk for an easy marinade. Soaking meat overnight in buttermilk makes it softer, as well as enhances the flavor.
- The proper way to cook both sides of a piece of meat is to use tongs or a spatula. Never use a carving fork to turn. Stabbing grilled meat will let out all the flavorful juices and dry it out. Flip it only once.
