Grilling has over time become one of the most popular methods used by families to add flavor as well as pomp and color to meals. However, what most people don't know is that it is an art assembled from simple techniques that can be mastered by anyone. Here are a few BBQ tips and BBQ recipes that will help you become a BBQ pro.
In addition to selecting the right cut of meat, you should also choose meat that has plenty of white fibers because it is more likely to be tender, juicy and delicious after melting down.
Before cooking, remove the meat from the fridge like an hour earlier. This helps reduce thermal shock and ensures that the meat cooks evenly.
For tenderizing purposes, you can choose marinades made with an acidic base such as wine, vinegar, and citrus juice. However, if you are one that fancies giving your meat a tasty exotic twist, then kiwi and pineapple will do the trick.
A ¼ tablespoon of salt added to the steak half an hour before cooking helps your meat stay juicy and delicious.
Before you start the cooking process, ensure that you have cleaned your grill with a paper towel soaked in oil so as to avoid a scenario where the steak sticks on the grill.
Since adding spices too soon may diminish their taste, it is best to wait till your midway through cooking to add seasoning.
Flipping the steak helps make it tender and gives your steak beautiful grill marks.
It is important to be careful especially when pressing the steak because doing it a bit too much may cause it to lose vital juices
For purposes of ensuring that the meat is done, touch each piece tenderly.
Letting the steak rest before serving allows it to reabsorb juices and reach optimal tenderness.
