Alejandro Zárate Central Culinary and expert in the art of grilling, shared with our friends Chilango some tips to make a good homemade barbecue.

The grill

You can use open Argentinean style grills, although the ideal is a barbecue with lid since they let you smoked and slow cooking.

Coal

To monitor the temperature, using briquettes and charcoal. To pin, do not use any oil or use a lighter fluid. The correct ways to do this are: turn it slowly with paper, using a gas lighter or put some coals in the stove direct fire and then they turn the rest.

The ideal menu

A barbecue should not focus only on the meat, the ideal is that you also include vegetables and chunks of chorizo. You can also make a barbecue with the main dish for burgers.

The marinated meat

There are two ways to marinate the meat: dry or liquid. The first is to rub the meat with ingredients like salt and some spices to make a crust around. This is used in American cuts like sirloin, T-bone and rib eye. The second is to put the meat in a bowl with lots of salt and water to pre moisturize and make it juicy.
