How to fry barbecue in the winter?
Marinate meat for barbecue is necessary according to the same recipe as usual. The difference in the preparation of a winter dish from a summer one is only in the method of frying meat. In order for the barbecue to fry well and be juicy in winter, it is necessary to use some tricks when cooking it:
- When using ordinary wood, it is not always possible to fry meat in a high-quality manner. When cooking barbecue in the winter, it is necessary to take very dry firewood, for the ignition of which you can use sunflower oil.
- In the event that dry fire was not at hand, charcoal is an excellent option for replacing them. We'll only have to wait until it burns well and becomes hot.
- When installing the grill for winter barbecue, you should pay attention to the fact that the distance between meat and coal is not too large. And in the event that the grill has very high walls, bricks should be placed at its corners to increase the heat. In order to increase airflow, it is necessary to use pre-prepared cardboard.
In addition to preparing winter barbecue on the grill, it is imperative to take additional food. But at the same time, it is better to remove cold snacks from the menu, they can be replaced with marinades, pickles, sandwiches, as well as hot potatoes in their uniforms, which quickly cooks in nature.
Meat preparation
Cooking tasty, fragrant and juicy kebabs can not be imagined without first soaking the meat in the marinade. A large number of different recipes for shish kebab marinades are known. Someone uses wine for this, someone uses milk and lemon juice. One of the most common methods is meat in marinade, with the addition of lemon juice.
To get a tasty and high-quality dish, the choice of meat for barbecue is also very important. From the part of the carcass located along the ridge, it turns out to be especially tender and juicy. Lamb ham is also good for this purpose. And if the choice falls on pork, then in this case the neck would be an ideal option. From beef, when cooking kebabs, experienced specialists, as a rule, choose a tenderloin. Excellent is the named dish of veal.
BBQ cooking
Let's start cooking:
- First you need to add coarse salt to the purchased meat so that it draws moisture out of the meat.
- Then add onions, cut into half rings, and a little pepper peas. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly, and then add lemon juice - approximately 150 g.
- For 3-4 hours, the meat should stand in the refrigerator.
- After the allotted time, the pickled meat should be thoroughly mixed again with the marinade, after which it can be removed and started to string on the skewer.
Fans of winter barbecue to get a tasty and fragrant dish recommend not stringing too large pieces on skewers, as they will not be able to fry in full. The best option would be cut pieces of meat measuring 5 x 5 cm.
Correctly string meat on skewers along the fibers: this way the pieces will hold tight, not hang down and not hang out.
Between the pieces of meat on the barbecue put onion rings. You can also put chopped onions as a treat on the table. A few minutes before removing the kebab with charcoal, the meat needs to be salted.
