What is the technique of grilling food?

When we refer to the fact that we are going to prepare a barbecue, what we are indicating is that we are going to cook food in contact with the fire or cook on the grill.

In other words, a barbecue can be done in spaces such as a barbecue, a bonfire, etc. However, inside a house we can also make roasts since the oven or kitchen fire also creates this method of cooking.

The taste, however, is different because the roast with hot coals provides a grill flavor while the one in the oven or grilled has a more neutral flavor. Anyway, the result of the cooking is the same: juicy and golden dishes that are delicious!

Tips for roasting food perfectly

If you want to grill food and get a delicious dish, it is recommended that you consider some tricks. Here we will give you a series of tips that will help you enjoy a very juicy recipe:

• Always marinate the ingredients: before you start roasting, it is important that you marinate meats, vegetables or any food you want to roast. In this way you will soften and ensure that the moisture does not leave and, therefore, does not remain too dry or hard
• Mark the food: when cooking on the grill or on the grill, it is important that you mark it before grilling. For this it will be enough that you place the meat diagonally and have it for two minutes on each side. This way you will get it checked.
• Leave space between foods: for optimal roasting it is important that you leave enough space between the ingredients you are cooking. With a separation of 2 or 3 fingers they will already have what they need so that the coals and the heat penetrate well into the food. Overly full grills do not do well.

After selecting the best meat for roasting, you must make sure that its cooking is on point and thus enjoy a pleasant roast with your family.

Today we bring you some tips that you should keep in mind if you want to become an excellent barbecue and surprise those you love with the most exquisite meat for grilling.

If it was time for the roast and you forgot to defrost the meat, do not put it in the microwave! Better put it in a container with very cold water, making sure that the meat does not come into direct contact with the water (it should preferably be vacuum packed).

To avoid the meat sticking to the grill, you can wet a paper towel with olive oil and with the help of tweezers, run it through the grill.

If you like to marinate the meat before roasting it, dry it on each side with a paper towel before putting it on the coals, to prevent it from steaming and making it brown.

Most grills are located in open spaces, so it is better to preheat it to 250 ° for 15 minutes before putting the meat, thus killing any bacteria they may have. The marinade is key to flavoring the preparations, you should know that sweets (such as honey) burn in a very short time, which is why marinades such as chimichurri or BBQ sauce are better, which you can spread for the last 10 minutes of cooking.
