Due to Britain’s love of meat and summer, it is no surprise that we love to put the two together to make the BBQ. Before it takes place, however, some consideration is needed to enjoy barbecues to their fullest potential.
There are so many different cuts of BBQ meats available for cooking on the BBQ grill, and before making a decision about which ones you are going to buy, there are some decisions that need to be made. These include taking into account the source the type of meat to be cooked, the fat content of the meat and the amount of it required, as well as how big the portions are.
Fat content is important, because it is part of what give BBQ meats their flavour. The best cuts of meat will have a certain amount of marbling, which means that small amounts of fat are found within the meat’s muscle. When these meats are placed on the BBQ, the fat melts into the muscle and creates a lot more flavour and tenderness.
The size and shape of the BBQ meats to go on the barbie is an important consideration, as this will determine how long the meat will need to be cooked for before it can be enjoyed. This is also the point at which to find out who wants rare, medium or well-done meat, as the size has an impact in the cooking of these, so it is best to cater for all needs.
