On a cozy weekend afternoon when your guests gather at your place, put on your apron and show off your skills with grilled dishes on a barbecue or charcoal grill. It's sure to impress your husband and guests.
If you incorporate some amazing grilling techniques, everyone will surely be amazed.
Let's go through the 7 crucial factors that will help you confidently hold the title of “BBQ King” at home.
1. Ensure the Meat is Cooked Through
This step might seem simple, but the color of the meat speaks volumes. If it's a large piece, don't hesitate to use a sharp knife to cut into the middle of the meat. If the inside still oozes red juices, it's definitely not ready yet.
2. Seasoning is Key
Seasoning is crucial for delicious BBQ grilled dishes. If you're using frozen meat, don't forget pepper, herbs. Avoid adding salt, alcohol-based substances, or acidic spices too early. You should only marinate these grilled meats about 2 hours before grilling. Marinating for too long can alter the color or texture of the meat within minutes. So when marinating, absolutely avoid using lime too early; add it just before eating.
3. Say No to Extremely Cold Food
Make sure your meat has thawed for at least 20 minutes before grilling. Taking it out too early can result in mushy meat, but leaving it too close to grilling time can easily lead to charred exteriors while the interior remains uncooked.
4. Control the Heat Properly
This one's pretty straightforward; adjust the heat to high to get it hot enough at the start, and once your grill has reached a certain temperature after a few rounds of grilling, reduce it to a moderate level.
5. Keep Raw and Cooked Foods Separate
If you're serving a large group of guests, grill the meat in batches and absolutely avoid letting juices from raw fish seep onto cooked food.
6. Incorporate Vegetables While Grilling
Adding vegetables while grilling will make grilled dishes less greasy and reduce the smoky residue on the meat if you're using charcoal. Plus, grilled dishes accompanied by vegetables will taste even better.
7. Clean the Grill Grate
Once the barbecue party is over, remove all charcoal dust and food residue stuck to the grill grate. The simplest method is to use half an onion, stick it with a fork, and rub it on the still-warm grate. Onion not only helps clean but also acts as a natural cleaning agent, which is fantastic.
Wishing you delightful barbecue parties at home!
