OWEN BROTHERS CATERING EXCLUSIVE BLOG: SUMMER DRAWS TO A CLOSE

Here at Owen Brothers Catering we have a lot of experience when it comes to a BBQ, so here are our top tips to have the perfect BBQ! Before summer ends. There are so many mistakes that are made when doing a BBQ.

Tip 1 – Marinade your food!

We do this for you so you won’t have to worry. But this is extremely important to marinade your meat before cooking it on the BBQ. This will only flavour the meat but will add moisture. This will also help trap the smoke flavour and slowly start to caramelise as it cooks.

Tip 2 – Brush of the debris.

Many people don’t realise this, but when the grill is hot it is much easier to remove any debris. All you need to do is wait for the grill to heat up and then use a wire brush over the grill to get any debris off from previous meals you have had. Another way to clean your grill is to cut an onion in half and rub it across, this will give the same effect as a wire brush!

Tip 3 – Fuel

Make sure you plan in advance the fuel that you wish to use, this means that you can start up the BBQ whenever you feel like it. There are many options that you can use to fuel your BBQ, the main ones being coal and gas. There are other options such as wood that will add a delicious smoky flavour to your food.

Tip 4 – Oil the grill before cooking.

Before you add any food to the BBQ make sure you oil it so that nothing sticks. To oil your grill, we recommend soaking a paper towel in oil and use tongs to rub it across. Some oils that work well will add extra flavour to your meat.

Tip 5 – Always keep close to your BBQ whilst the food is cooking.

It is good to stay near your BBQ whilst you are cooking your meat to ensure that it doesn’t burn.

Tip 6 – Let the meat rest.

After you have cooked your meat, leave it to rest for around ten minutes on a dish covered with foil. This will ensure that the juices have distributed evenly and your meat tastes better than ever!
We always add a variety of dips such as hummus, plum sauce, Dill sauce or mustard to satisfy every guest and encourage the best flavour adding choices. Vegetables are the perfect addition to any menu. In order to ensure you are enjoying every minute, plan ahead of time. The most simple, yet overlooked, step enough. Food is fun, and it’s our forte.
