There are many factors that contribute to being able to make a good barbecue, we are going to tell you what the secrets are to carry out this mission and enjoy a good barbecue.
· Lighting the fire has to do with a ceremony which takes time and that gives us the possibility of putting together the picadita for the aperitif.
Using flammable liquids such as alcohol is not advisable, it contributes to speeding up the process of lighting the fire unnecessarily, and it is also dangerous.
· Roasting with wood makes the roast richer, but do not use just any wood, keep in mind that it must be parked and dry, the better the quality, the richer the roast will come out. The fire should be lit slowly, so if you put very large pieces it will take time to light up. According to what they say, the best varieties are espinillo and ñandubay, although
popular belief says quebracho.
· Cutting the meat to see if it is cooked is not a good habit, doing so will cause the cooking juices to be lost and the cuts will come out dry. This is observed in cuts with less fat such as loin or bife de chorizo.
· Never put frozen meat on the grill, a mistake we usually make is forgetting to take the meat out and not defrosting it. It is convenient the day before to take it out of the freezer and put it in the refrigerator, in the lower part so that it thaws. One hour before putting it on the fire, take it out so that it takes room temperature.
· Keeping the grill away from the fire, lowering the grill too much, a very common mistake to speed up the cooking process, in this case the only thing we will achieve is to snatch the meat.
· Serving the meat in metal trays does not help preserve the temperature of our roast. It is best to place it on a wooden board or the ideal is to use portable grills that rest on the table and have embers at the bottom.
· You should never rush the cooking, snatch the roast, any cut of meat, even if it is of excellent quality, will not come out in the best way. With slow cooking we get meats and offal, more tender, juicy and sure to show off with the barbecue.
