Summer and BBQ go together, like sun and sea! But who can resist a juicy, flavorful grilled beef? In this article, we will share with you our secrets for perfect grilled beef, from ribeye and T-bone to brisket and flank steak.

Choosing the right cut:

As the wise say, success starts from the foundation. Here, our foundation is the beef, and each cut has its own charm and unique flavor.

Ribeye: The king of fatty flavor, with rich marbling that melts in your mouth, like a velvet hug.

T-bone: The combination of filet and ribeye in one piece, to satisfy every palate.

Brisket: Ideal for slow cooking, full of collagen that becomes tender like butter.

Flank steak: Less fatty, with intense flavor, ideal for quick grilling over high heat.

Secrets for perfect grilling:

• Let the meat come to room temperature: Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before grilling. This will help the meat cook evenly and retain its juices.

  
  

• Season generously: Use salt and pepper in generous amounts. You can also add other spices, such as garlic, paprika, or thyme, depending on your taste preferences.

  
  

• Preheat the grill: A simple method to ensure your fire is hot enough is to not be able to hold your hand above the fire for 2-3 seconds at the same height you will place the meat.

  
  

• Don’t touch the meat too often: Let it cook quietly for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium doneness.

  
  

• Use a meat thermometer: The surest way to ensure your meat is cooked to the desired level.

  
  

• Let the meat rest: 5-10 minutes before serving, to retain its juices.

Side dishes that elevate:

Serve the perfect grilled beef over charcoal with BBQ sauce, roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a fresh salad.

And don’t forget:

• For a smokier flavor: Add wood or smoking chips over the fire during the grilling process.

  
  

• For juicier meat: If grilling, try searing your steak to retain all its juices.

Tips:

• Trust your instincts: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different temperatures and cooking times to find the perfect texture for you.

  
  

• By eye: Grilled beef will have a beautiful golden color and will emit a smell that will whet your appetite from miles away.

  
  

• Don’t be afraid to ask: If you have questions, ask your butcher or search for recipes and tutorials online.

And above all? Enjoy the process! BBQ is an experience, an opportunity to connect with loved ones, relax, and create unforgettable memories.
