The most wonderful time of the year is officially here, and we aren’t talking about Christmas! With the temperatures dropping and the chilly season setting in, it only means one thing – camping and eating outdoors! With 2020 not being the most ideal time to be out and about, it doesn’t stop one from firing up the barbecue for an al fresco dinner.
Let’s get real – barbecue is a versatile cooking tool, it’s an oven as well as a fierce grill, and we don’t think we’ve been harnessing its true potential. With the right kind of barbeque grill comes the need for the right kind of meat.

Some key tips and hacks to remember when barbequing meat –
1. Season the meat in advance
Good seasoning is as important as using the proper cooking technique. Use high quality sea salt, as the high mineral content brings out the “iron” flavour in meat. The fragrant oils in the black pepper combined with celery seed, paprika, onion and garlic ensure that the meat is seared with a delicious crust
2. Invest your time in a great marinade
When marinating the meat, it is recommended to place the meat with the fat side down to tenderise it. Add one-part brown sugar, one-part salt, rosemary, garlic and black pepper to lock the flavour in the meat before grilling it. Remove the meat and reduce the marinating liquid to a syrup to use as glaze later.
3. Get the heat just right
To make the most of your barbecue, you need to prepare in enough time. You want to grill over red hot coals, not a direct flame, to ensure the cooking is consistent and intense. The power of the hot coals will maintain a high temperature for a long time to give you the chard crust and caramelisation that grilling good meat is all about!
4. Don’t wait to the last minute to rest the meat
The key is ‘midway rest’ halfway through a cook! Grill your meat until it’s 10-15 degrees below the ideal temperature and take it off and let it sit. This allows the meat catch up with itself and disperses the heat evenly throughout. Once you’ve done that, flash cook it on both sides, rest it again briefly, and then serve up!
The prices of the meat start from AED 16 for marinated chicken wings and tandoori drumsticks, AED 43 for fresh beef patties, rib-eye steak starting from AED 36 and Australian Beef Striploin Steak for AED 40.
