How to Prepare a Charcoal Barbecue for Grilling
For you to land on this page, I believe you are looking for information on barbeque. This article will give you some tips, things you would need and easy steps to ensuring your charcoal grilled steaks are evenly cooked as part of the pre-preparation food process.
First Thing First - The Things You would need.
- A good charcoal barbecue grill
- Long match lighter
- Tongs
- Quality briquettes
- Lighter fluid
- Steaks
- Patience.
- Select the best meat from the butcher. Buy from someone you trust.
- Take the meat out of the packaging, pat it dry and let it air out for approximately 30 minutes til it reaches room temperature.
- Select the best charcoal available. Briquette type charcoal is not the best quality.
- Create a cylinder made of newspaper. You can do this by evenly wrapping paper around an empty bottle, then taking the bottle out. Then light the paper and put the coals around it. This will create a hot air center for the coals, so there is no need to use polluting fluids.
- Use best fire safety practices.
- Use long matches and light coals.
- Allow coals to burn until they are a whitened ashen grey color and appear to be evenly colored. Allowing the flames to die down will ensure that the burn-off chemicals will not impact the flavor of the food.
- Place steaks on the grill. Cook to desired doneness, rest for 20 minutes on a rack pan.
- Season and serve the food.
- Rest the meat after it has been grilled. It allows the meat to release its fullest flavour.
