One of the best things about the summer is being able to get the grill and whip up a storm in front of the BBQ. It’s the perfect way to cap off a wonderful, sunny day, and the perfect way of keeping refreshed, entertained, and well fed! This is one of the best ways to meet up with friends post-lockdown, and you need to try to make sure you do your best to have the ultimate BBQ this summer, and that involves some prep work.
Now, if you are looking for ways of having an excellent BBQ that’s going to be the talk of the town, you need to nail all of the key areas that make a BBQ successful. This means identifying these areas, and approaching them in a way that allows you to do things a little bit differently. So, these are some of the key trips you can use to BBQ your way to excellence this summer.
Choose the Right Meat
Choosing the right meat plays a huge part in the development of any BBQ, and this is the first and most important factor for you to get right. You need to have a good variety of meats to choose from, and make sure there is plenty of it to cover the people who are going to be in attendance. This is one of the best things that you can do to get the BBQ off on the right track, and sourcing your meat locally from a butcher would be preferable to the grocery store. The quality of meat is going to be better, plus you are also supporting a local business in the process as well.
Perfect Your BBQing Process
You need to do a lot to make sure you work on perfecting the BBQing process. It’s all well and good having delicious and tasty cuts of meat, but if you don’t BBQ them properly then it makes no difference. There are so many ideas that play a part in helping you perfect your grill game, and the first of these is seasoning and marinating. Two things that should be done pre-cooking in order to bring out the flavors in the meat more effectively. You should also consider whether you’re going to be sizzling sausages on a conventional charcoal BBQ, or slow cooking a Ninja Foodi pork roast, as both will impact flavor. Whether you opt for grill or charcoal BBQ, you still need to make sure you have the right meat, and that you season it more effectively.
Have Some Meat Free Options
Of course, if you want to complete the perfect BBQ, you need to have some meat-free options to offer to guests as well. There are a lot of ideas and elements that you should be looking to keep in mind here, and buying some meat-free sausages and burgers might not be the worst idea in the world. Alternatively, you might choose to ask the non-meat eating guests to bring their own and you will cook itr for them. That way you can guarantee that they are getting exactly the choice they want and can enjoy the BBQ experience as much as those who will be consuming the meat. Variety and choice are so important at a BBQ, and you should do as much as you can to make your guests feel included.
Sides
Sides play an integral role in any BBQ, and you have to make sure you have a good selection of sides to complement the meat and vegetarian/vegan options that are on offer. You can get creative with the sides too, and things like corn on the cob and potato salad, as well as homemade slaw can really enhance the taste and flavor of the BBQ meats, and this is something you can really get creative with. The perfect side dish can elevate an average BBQ into a brilliant one, and here are some amazing ideas that you can use to help take your cookout to the next level, and ensure an unforgettable experience for all.
These are just some of the factors that will contribute to your amazing summer BBQ experience, so you need to try to tick these boxes as much as you can. Make sure you focus on the best watts of doing this, and perfecting the way you cook your meat is one of the key aspects of this. Try to think about the best ways of improving your BBQ, and making for an excellent experience moving forward.
