Grilling Recipe Tips

Grill to perfection with these grilling recipe tips! Learn how to prepare your meat so that you can cook it to perfection and enjoy a perfect meal! Impress your family and friends with these grilling recipes this summertime.

Preparation:

  • Clean Grill: Yes, you will want a clean grill before starting. Heat up the grill and clean it off using a brush or a grill cleaning spray.
  • Marinate: If your recipe calls for it (or you really want your meat to be extra juicy) marinate the meat either overnight or a few hours before grilling.
  • Room temperature: Let the cold meat from the refrigerator sit on the counter for 15 to 30 minutes letting it rest at room temperature. This will ensure an even and simple cooking time for any of these grilling recipes.

Cooking:

  • If the meat sticks: Try not to move your meat around on the grill too often. It is best to leave the meat cooking in one place and then flip it over to finish cooking it through. If the meat is sticking to the grill, leave it and it will unstick after it is finished cooking.
  • Don’t squish the meat: When grilling it is tempting to lay the spatula on top of the meat and squeeze it down to see all the juices run out. Don’t! This is all the fat and juiciness that you need for flavor and cooking.
  • Bone-in meat: Cook these meats on high and over direct heat. Once they have a nice crust look, lower the temperature and place in the indirect heat to finish grilling.
  • Flare-ups: These do happen every once in a while. Keep a spray bottle of water close by and use it when needed.
  • Let it rest: Be patient and let the meat rest before cutting into it. This will help the meat hold tight to all the juiciness in the meat. 15 minutes is a good number to wait on.
  • Cutting meat: When cutting the steak, remember to cut against the grain. The lines in the meat are the direction you want to find and cut opposite of those lines. This will enhance the flavor of the meat as well as keep it tender.
