5 Cooking Tips for Perfect Grilled Meat

Summer is here and it is time to break out the BBQ Grills!  Grilled meat has multiple benefits during the summer - not least of which is a great reason to get the family together for quality time!  Everyone loves a good BBQ!  Whether you are grilling beef, chicken, lamb, or seafood, there is definitely an art to a delicious finished product!  

Marinate your meat:  

  • marinating meat before you grill it has health benefits
    • it decreases the amount of carcinogenic heterocyclic amines (HCAs) produced when you cook meat at high temperatures like grilling
    • It slows the growth of harmful bacterias like listeria.

Take Meat Out of Fridge an Hour before Grilling: 

 Being room temperature prevents shrinkage, drying out of meat and can prevent uneven temperature outcomes (cold in the middle and cooked on the outside)

Create the perfect grilling environment:  

  • whether your grill is gas or charcoal it should have two zones of heat.  
    • Use the very hot for searing and that “grilled” appearance and taste
    • Use the not as hot side for thorough temperature cooking and to place meat gently during flame flare-ups.
    • Flame flare-ups can be controlled by gently moving the meat across to the low heat area of your grill.  Squeezing meat can release juices that add to flare-ups. Allow the flame to die down on its own. 

Use a thermometer for the perfect temperature:  

  • If you like your meat less well done, it is important to use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meat has reached optimum temperature in order to kill off dangerous bacteria.  

Rest your meat after grilling: 

  • Juices inside meat constrict during the grilling process. 
    • Resting the meat after grilling allows the juices to be re-absorbed and redistribute themselves throughout the meat, giving you a tender, juicy piece of meat.
