Top summer grilling recipes

When it comes to grilling recipes, the marinade which you use to flavor the meat is absolutely important. You can use so many different marinades and they can be store-bought or homemade. I personally always prefer homemade because you can control the amount of salt and sugar and make it with any flavors you like.

Grilling might seem intimidating but once you do it a few times, you will see how simple and easy it is. These summer grilling recipes will show you how to grill chicken, beef and veggies. All you need to do is marinade the meat for 2 to 8 hours (except for fish and shrimp) and grill them. It’s simple, easy and amazingly tasty.

Gas or charcoal grill?

This is definitely a matter of personal preference. While gas grill is definitely quicker and easier to prepare and heat, charcoal grill gives that nice smokey flavor to the meat that makes it exceptional. Make sure to always clean the grill before heating it up.
