Are You A Grill Master?
Posted by: Melissa on June 25, 2009
The majority of Americans are eager to gain grilling expertise to help tame the flame this summer. Only 11 percent of beef lovers claim they are a “master of the grill,” while 61 percent say they don’t go beyond the basics and wish they knew more, according to a recent survey conducted by IPSOS Public Affairs for the Beef Checkoff Program.
As Americans continue to fire up their grills this summer, now’s the time to brush up on the steps to delicious and healthy grilling:
- Opt for lean, well-trimmed cuts of meat and poultry to prevent fire flare-ups and excess smoke formation.
- Marinate meat for added flavor and tenderness.
- Turn beef occasionally for even cooking and browning.
- Pair fruits and vegetables with grilling favorites to reap even more nutrition benefits.
