Meat Cuts for Grilling: Quick Cooking or Slow Cooking?

The best cuts of meat for grilling are those that suit the speed of cooking and presentation. Not every meat is suitable for direct grilling in the same way; A decent piece of steak is different from a time-consuming portion, and burgers and kebabs have doneness requirements for ground meat.

For quick grilling

Start with a product labeled for grilling such as labeled steak or cuts suitable and prepared for that use. Close thickness helps control the result. If the piece is thick, you may need to finish it on a lower heat after browning the surface.

For skewered cubes and small cuts

Make sure they are close in size, and do not crowd the skewer or grille to prevent the heat from reaching. Marinades that are too wet may delay browning, and sugary sauces may burn prematurely; Add it at an appropriate stage in the recipe instead of always covering the pieces with it from the beginning.

For kebab and burger

Treat them as ground meat, checking the temperature of the center. A difference in surface color or appearance of grill marks does not prove that cooking is complete. Use a suitable tool to insert the probe into the center of the part, and clean it before and after use.

Prepare two heat zones

A stronger zone for browning and a quieter zone for finishing cooking. This gives you flexibility when the flame gets stronger or the thickness varies. Keep the raw one refrigerated until turn, and place the cooked one in clean dishes that did not touch the meat before grilling.
