5. Finding the Best Quality Grilling Meat

Grilling season is upon us, and grilling the best-tasting meat is key to a good BBQ. Whether you’re grilling burgers, steaks, or hot dogs, quality meat is its own reward. Here are a few tips to help make sure you’re choosing the peak of perfection:

• Go Grass-Fed – Not only is grass-fed beef more nutritious, it also has a much more complex flavor. Plus, the fat content is lower than grain-fed beef, which makes it much healthier.
• Fresh is Best – Any meat should always be well-sourced and not too long-stored. If it looks or smells like something’s off, it probably is.
• Skip the Pre-Seasoned – Unless you’re marinading your own, pre-seasoned meats might have questionable quality. Stick to kosher- or sea-salt for guaranteed freshness.
• Organic Options – Keep your eyes peeled for organic meats. They’re a great alternative and promote a healthier lifestyle.

If you’re looking to switch up the grill staples, try something exotic. Wild boar, bison, and wild elk are becoming more and more accessible, and are a great way to take the taste of the BBQ to the next level.

6. Grilled to Perfection: Savoring the Summer Steak

Summertime is synonymous with grilling and savoring a juicy steak. To ensure optimal flavor and texture, there are certain steps you should follow. Start by bringing your steak to room temperature before you start cooking. Make sure the steak is completely dry and brush it with a bit of oil to give it a nice golden sear.

Before tossing it on the grill, sprinkle the steak with your favorite seasoning. Increase the heat until you reach the desired temperature for your desired doneness. Use the grill grate so your steak doesn’t stick to it. Grill the steak for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. When it’s done, let the steak rest to let the juices evenly distribute throughout.

• Bring steak to room temperature
• Insure steak is dry and brush with oil
• Sprinkle with favorite seasoning
• Grill over desired temperature
• Grill for 3-4 minutes per side
• Let steak rest after removing from grill

7. A Look at the Cultures Behind the Sizzle

It’s no secret many of the world’s most succulent dishes are the result of longstanding cultures of food. From the smell of authentic paella wafting through the winding streets of Spain’s coastal towns to the sizzle of wok-fried noodles from street vendors in and around Southeast Asia, these culinary traditions reflect a rich history of generations of cooking.

It’s this that gives dishes their depth and complexity, with many aspects often subjective and decided by the cook themselves. For example:

• Spain has long focused on fresh, locally sourced ingredients with no-waste principles in mind – namely, the use of offal or other lesser-used animal parts in dishes such as “tortillas”.
• Japan utilizes a range of unique seasonings, textures and algae to produce dishes that combine subtle complexity with light, contrasting flavours.
• Vietnam combines fresh herbs and spices to provide an array of vibrant and strong flavours, as found in its signature pho.

Aside from the culinary creations, the cultures behind these dishes – and the people creating, consuming, and reimaging them – are equally as rich. Welcoming, diverse and vibrant; these cultures demonstrate an approach to life that often is overlooked.

8. On the Grill: How to Master the Summer Steak

Grilling steak is a summertime must-have. The char and smokiness of grilled steak is an instant reminder of summer and fun. But, grilling steak is an art. Whether you’re grilling ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon, understanding the techniques involved is key to mastering the perfect steak. Here are some tips for getting the perfect steak off the grill:

• Select a cut of steak that wears marinades and seasonings well.
• Invest in a good marinade and marinate for at least an hour, if not overnight.
• Brush the steak with oil before grilling to guarantee a perfect sear.
• Don’t press the steak down with a spatula — let the heat of the grill do the work on the steak.
• When cooking, use both direct and indirect heat. On a charcoal grill, push the coals to one side and put the steak on the cooler side.

Once the steak is finished, it’s important to let it rest before digging in. Resting allows some of the juices to be reabsorbed, which will guarantee a juicy, tender steak. Rest steak for five minutes before slicing, and enjoy!

9. Savor Every Bite of These Succulent Delights

Ginataang Hipon, otherwise known as shrimp cooked in coconut milk, is a Filipino classic that’s fit for any season.
