2. Prepare the right grill and tools .
A good quality, clean and well-oiled grill is certainly the first step to achieving perfect cooking, but it is not enough. When you ask yourself what should not be missing from a barbecue , you should know that it is also essential to have all the essential tools, including:
- Long tongs , for easily turning and handling meat without burning yourself;
- Spatula , for turning hamburgers and other flat foods;
- Meat thermometer , to make sure your meat is cooked to perfection;
- Marinating brush , to add flavor during cooking;
- Heat resistant gloves , to protect your hands from high temperatures;
3. Choose and prepare the meat carefully .
For a perfect barbecue , the quality of the meat is fundamental: opt for fresh, first-choice cuts and marinate them in advance to enhance the flavor and make the meat even more tender. Experiment with spices and herbs and leave the meat to rest in the marinade for several hours, or better yet, overnight. Before putting the meat on the grill, make sure it is at room temperature : following this little trick will help you cook it evenly. Finally, add salt just before cooking the meat . Salting too early can cause the meat to lose its natural juices.
4. Don't forget side dishes and sauces .
A barbecue is not just grilled meat! Among the things that should not be missing, we must also consider the accompaniments that complete the experience. A crunchy salad or grilled vegetables can add a touch of freshness, as well as various types of sauces (even homemade) balance the flavors of the meat. You can also prepare some toasted bread or focaccia , perfect to accompany the meat.
