BBQ Beef Tips?

The summer is heating up and, going into a nice weekend my thoughts are on my BBQ so I thought I’d share a few hints that will come in handy if you plan on Grilling up some Beef this weekend:
- Choose choice or prime cuts for the BBQ. The more abundant marbling adds tons of flavour after sizzling on a grill
- Always marinate less tender cuts of beef before grilling. In order to properly tenderize, your marinade must contain an acidic ingredient. Good additions to a tenderizing marinade include fruit or vegetable juice, yogurt, wine or a vinegar
- For a really tender and juicy steak, let your meat sit at room temperature for 30 - 45 minutes and then salt it just before grilling
- If you are the kind of BBQ chef who likes to deliver a side of beef with perfect grilling lines charred into your meat, try lightly brushing your next steak with an extra-virgin olive oil just before placing it on the BBQ
