Getting An Excellent Butcher And Maintaining A Good Relationship With Him Is Crucial
Anybody who loves a bbq must have a good relationship with their butcher. Whether that be an independent with his own shop in the town high street or hidden away somewhere on a side street, or at the local superstore, one must get to know and rely on him.
Very often you can get great words of advice about how best, how long or which marinades to use to cook a piece of meat. He can also recommend as to which cut of meat could be best or have an alternative if he has something interesting in stock.
Even if one has the top Weber gas grills or Weber bbq available, getting the very best fresh meats can make a big difference. And from the outlook of the chef, it should be simpler to cook correctly and earn greater praise. For it is well known that the woman of the house will put together the salads, combine the marinades, lay the table, arrange the sauces, get the crockery scrubbed and ready, peel and cook the vegetables. And the man of the house will chuck the meat on the bbq, move it about it a bit and will bask in the adoration of those fed.
As well as selling fresh chops, steaks and sausages (always get the home made if using an independent butcher), one should purchase the best fresh mince and use it to construct your own burgers. In Australia you can’t get ready made burgers because it’s a basis of pride for an Aussie to make his own. And they are so easy to do – put some bread in a blender and render them down to crumbs and blend with the meat along with an egg, some olive oil, finely chopped mushrooms plus whatever section of herbs, seasonings and spices are desire. That’s a basic recipe of course, after that one gets used to it, it’s a case of trying new things. Mixing together combinations of meats is fun as is adding or taking out other things. And so goes the journey for the perfect burger.
Part of the pleasure of cooking on a bbq, whether it is on a charcoal burner or something like Weber gas grills, the fat or oils dripping onto the fire will cause a very pleasing burst of flame as it ignites. These flashes are useful in their own right as they will seal the surface of the meat and lock in in the juices which give the flavour to the inside of the meat which is why the coals and grills must be as hot as possible, while the marinades and sauces enhance the taste of the outside.
We are very lucky here in that we have a wonderful butcher in one of the villages and their knowledge is unmatched as are their sausages. And their ribs. Ooh, and the pork chops. Put any of those on a Weber bbq and serve them up to your chums and they will adore you forever.
