1. How To Freeze and Reheat BBQ Look -- the reality is, it’s just not possible to make a little bit of barbeque. Depending on your point-of-view, that’s either a very good or very bad thing. Either way, it’s been our experience that barbecuing always results in more food than one person can eat. Keeping barbeque in the fridge is easy and straightforward, but you won’t want to leave it there for more than 3-4 days. We know firsthand that four days might not be enough time to finish all those leftovers! Well, the good n...

  3. How to Wet Age Steak at Home Generally speaking, meat can be either dry-aged or wet-aged. The two techniques produce vastly different results within the same cuts of meat. It’s hard to say one tastes better than the other -- they’re simply different. Dry-aging tends to produce a very aggressive, pungent sort of flavor, while wet-aging creates a milder, and more universally agreeable taste. Us steak-aficionados can enjoy an intense, deeply flavored dry-aged cut, but some people would certainly point to that dry-aged flavo...
  4. How To Pan Fry The Perfect Steak Grillaholics, I was recently asked by a fellow Grillaholic what my favorite type of meat was, and honestly, I don’t know that I’ve ever taken so long to answer a simple question. From brisket, to ribs, to chicken wings, to pork chops, my mind was flooded with so many delicious options that I didn’t think I’d ever have an answer for him. I took a night to sleep on the question, and after much intense thinking (pretty sure I could have set off my smoke detectors with how hard my brain was wor...
  5. How To Use Your Gas Grill For Smoking Grillaholics, if you’re like me, then you are well familiar with the love-hate relationship that comes with owning a gas grill. The benefits of barbecuing with a gas grill are numerous. For starters, gas grills are easy enough for a caveman to use, often requiring just a turn of a knob and a click of a button to ignite. They also give a consistent and even distribution of heat throughout the entire cooking cycle, which can lead to more uniformly cooked food overall. While the noble gas gril...

  12. How To Perfectly Sear A Steak First things first, we need to clear the air about a couple concerns or myths that go hand in hand with searing a steak. Myth #1: You Need High Temperatures to Sear This is probably the biggest lie in grilling! The appropriate temperature for searing a steak is 300°F to 500°F, anything above 500°F will completely dry out your meat, and leave you with burnt BBQ. No one wants that. Myth #2: Searing Locks in All Juices A lot of people think that searing their meat will lock in all of the ju...
  13. How To Grill Asparagus Grillaholics, what I’m about to say is not easy for me to write, but it is unfortunately true: you shouldn’t eat ONLY meat.
