Grilling is more than just preparation - it's an art. Lighting the coals, adjusting the heat, carefully turning the meat - all part of a ritual that makes grilling special. Especially when you have the right ingredients.

In this multi-part guide, you will receive all the knowledge you need about grilling meat. Each section provides important information, so you can click through and prepare for your next barbecue evening.

We'll start with beef, the king of grilling, and move on to poultry, pork and lamb before sharing useful preparation tips.

Grilling beef offers a variety of possibilities that challenge taste and skills.

Beef is versatile: from tasty steak to tender breast to minced meat suitable for burgers. Each cut has its own grilling characteristics. A steak needs strong, direct heat and a short time, while a breast needs slow, indirect heat over hours to become tender.

Choosing the right, high-quality meat is essential for grilling. Meat from naturally raised animals has a positive effect on taste and texture. Our products from the Freyberger butcher's shop are an excellent choice.

In addition to the meat, proper preparation is crucial. Seasoning, marinating or brining can make the grilled food juicier and tastier. Each method has its science and it's fun to play with it and discover new flavors. Below we've put together a comprehensive overview of grilling different types of beef.

Next we move on to an exquisite piece of beef: roast beef. Its tenderness and leanness make it a delicacy, but it requires care when grilling. The aim is to achieve a crispy crust while the inside remains juicy and tender.

A tried and tested method is indirect grilling, where the meat is not directly over the flame. This allows for a gentler cooking temperature and avoids burning before the meat is cooked inside.

Prepare the roast beef before grilling: let it come to room temperature and season well. After grilling, let it rest to distribute the juices.

Side dishes for roast beef are flexible: crispy potatoes, fresh salads or bread to soak up the juices go perfectly with this noble meat.

Next we'll look at another luxury cut of beef: the entrecôte, also known as prime rib. Its high fat content melts when grilled, making the meat juicy and full of flavor.

Grilling the perfect entrecôte requires the right heat and time. First, sear it at a high heat to close the pores and keep the juices in the meat. Then continue grilling at a lower temperature to get a nice crust while keeping the inside juicy.

A good marinade can enhance the flavor of the entrecôte. A simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, rosemary and sea salt can make a difference.

Now we come to the T-bone steak, a star among beef cuts. It consists of fillet and entrecôte, separated by the eponymous T-bone, which promises a double taste experience.

Preparing a T-bone steak requires care. The meat should be at room temperature before it goes on the grill to ensure even cooking. When grilling, it is recommended to sear the steak first and then finish it over indirect heat. The bone ensures juiciness and extra flavor.

The Picanha is a real highlight at every barbecue. With its juicy texture and distinctive taste, it is sure to delight all meat lovers.

The Tomahawk steak is an impressive grilled delight. For the best grilling results, the steak should be at room temperature and well seasoned with salt, pepper or other spices.

Preheat the grill to high heat, grill the steak fat side down first, then on each side for a few minutes to form a delicious crust. Then reduce the heat or move the steak to the indirect heat area of ​​the grill and let it cook to the desired doneness.

After grilling, the steak should rest for a few minutes before being cut into slices along the bone and served.

With these tips, you can prepare delicious poultry on the grill. In the next section, we'll discuss grilling chicken in more detail.

Chicken is a barbecue classic with many preparation options. With a few tips, you can create juicy, aromatic dishes.

When preparing the chicken, clean it and pat it dry. A marinade or spice mix intensifies the flavor. After marinating, the chicken should be left in the fridge to intensify the flavors.

There are direct and indirect methods available for grilling. Direct grilling creates a nice crust, while indirect grilling cooks the chicken gently.

Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes per side to develop a golden brown crust. Then move it to the indirect heat area and continue grilling until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 75 °C. A meat thermometer will help with this.

After grilling, let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to distribute evenly. Aluminum foil will keep the chicken warm while it rests.
