BBQ Season

BBQ Season is Here!

It’s that time of year again when the weather is warm and sunny and all you want to do is fire up the grill and cook some delicious food. BBQ season is here, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than with a few friends and family around.

why not check out what we have to offer:

BBQ!

Here are a few tips for making the most of your BBQ season:

  • Choose the right meat. If you’re not sure what to cook, ask your butcher for recommendations. They can help you choose the right cut of meat for your grill and your budget.
  • Marinate your meat. Marinating meat helps to tenderize it and add flavour. There are endless recipes for marinades, so find one that you like and experiment.
  • Don’t overcook your meat. Overcooked meat will be dry and tough. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  • Let your meat rest before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with your favourite sides. BBQ is a great time to get creative with your sides. Try grilled corn on the cob, potato salad, or macaroni and cheese.

With these tips, you’ll be sure to have a successful BBQ season. So fire up the grill and get cooking!
