Grilling is one of the most popular cooking methods worldwide. The ease and speed in which grilled food is cooked and the unique flavor that is infused into the food as a result of grilling are the primary reasons for its popularity.
The Thicker Cut
Thicker cuts of meat can be a challenge to grill so that they have a nice flavorful, crisp outer surface with a juicy tender middle. They are cuts that are too thick to be grilled with just direct heat but are not as thick as a cut that requires a long period of indirect heat, such as a roast.
Grilling with Direct Heat | Grilling with Indirect Heat
Cooking with direct heat and cooking with indirect heat are the methods most often used when grilling. It is important to understand the differences between the two methods to ensure success when grilling.
