I love eating food from the grill. With football season starting in a few weeks, I’ll be tailgating a lot. Here are the best 4 best foods to grill according to Mens Health.
Rib eye steak
“Rib eye combines four amazing beef experiences: the bone, the deckle, the eye, and the nub. All that means is that you’re in for a smorgasbord of flavors and textures. It’s an incredibly versatile cut with an excellent fat to meat ratio.” Hit it with salt and pepper, and cook a one-inch-thick steak on a well-oiled grill over direct heat for 12 minutes, flipping once at the halfway point for medium rare.
Thick-cut bacon
“Who doesn’t love bacon? It’s the perfect appetizer if you’re waiting on your main course to cook. Lay down some slices, cook them under a grill press or a foil-wrapped brick until crispy and dress with a drizzle of olive oil, ground black pepper, and chopped herbs.”
Lamb chops
“They’re quick cooking and you gnaw them right off the bone–another delicious appetizer. Chops about an inch thick cook in three to four minutes on direct heat, so watch them closely, especially because lamb has a high fat content and fat can cause flare ups.”
Shrimp
“The key is keeping the shell on as they cook. Split the shell down the back, but toss them on the grill with the shell still on. This will toast the shell and deepen the flavor of the shrimp. Consider it poor man’s lobster.”
