Food & Wine's Editorial Guidelines Updated on July 14, 2017 Close Photo: © Christina Holmes These terrific recipes cover many proteins, from beef and lamb to pork ribs, dogs, and burgers. Serve sticky barbecued beef ribs, tandoori leg of lamb, or three takes on sausages with these ideas for grilled meat. 01 of 27 Tuscan-Style Veal Chops © James Baigrie "Grill masters all over the world have noticed that when you grill a piece of meat and then anoint it with some kind of fat, it mixes with the meat juices and creates instant sauce," Steven Raichlen says. "At Peter Luger Steakhouse, in Brooklyn, steaks get finished with a pat of butter; other places use beef tallow." In Tuscany, olive oil is the fat of choice for finishing herbed veal chops like these. Get the Recipe 02 of 27 Spice-Rubbed T-Bone Steaks © Con Poulos Big, thick steaks need a lot of seasoning, so be sure to cover them liberally with salt, pepper and any rub before grilling. Get the Recipe 03 of 27 Sticky Barbecued Beef Ribs © Tina Rupp These beef ribs — leftovers from the giant rib roast — are incredibly luscious. Chef Tim Love douses them in his sweet and tangy homemade barbecue sauce, then cooks them on the grill until they're crusty, sizzling and outrageously good. Get the Recipe 04 of 27 Slow-Grilled Rack of Lamb with Mustard and Herbs © Fredrika Stjärne "The one bad thing to do with lamb is a fast roast: It leaves the interior pretty much raw and the exterior charred," explains Athens, Georgia, chef Hugh Acheson. Quickly searing the racks and then grilling them over low heat makes the lamb perfectly browned outside and pink within. The caramelized onion jam that Acheson serves with the juicy meat is also terrific with all other meats, and even salmon. Get the Recipe 05 of 27 Coffee-Rubbed Strip Steaks with Chimichurri Sauce © Marcus Nilsson This bright and fresh chimichurri is used twice: as a sauce for the steak and as a dressing for the accompanying herb salad. Get the Recipe 06 of 27 Grilled Rib Eye Brochettes with Charmoula © John Kernick Chef Tim McKee adds easy North African flavor to succulent kebabs. Well-marbled rib eye steak is perfect for kebabs because it doesn't dry out on the grill. Get the Recipe 07 of 27 Lemon-and-Garlic-Marinated Flat Iron Steak © John Kernick The flat iron steak, which sits on the shoulder blade next to the teres major, is great for marinating and grilling. Get the Recipe 08 of 27 Caribbean Jerk Pork Chops © Marcus Nilsson At Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q, Lilly uses a cut called picnic shoulder for his spiced jerk pork, cooking it over low heat for eight hours. Instead, we suggest rubbing a vibrant jerk paste on chops before a quick 20 minutes on the grill, which gives them an incredibly good, peppery heat. Get the Recipe 09 of 27 Balsamic and Rosemary-Marinated Florentine Steak © Marie Hennechart Chef Nancy Silverton adores Antica Macelleria Cecchini, Dario Cecchini's famous butcher shop in the Tuscan town of Panzano, where she buys thick porterhouses to make this classic recipe. Chef Matt Molina and his entourage prepared the dish on their last night in Italy, marinating the meat in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary. Get the Recipe 10 of 27 Rib Eye Steaks with Pete's Barbecue Sauce © Anson Smart Pete Evans on grilling outside: "It's just more fun than cooking indoors — and it gets my kids off Facebook." Get the Recipe 11 of 27 Ribs with Hot-Pepper-Jelly Glaze Grace Parisi dry marinates then roasts baby back and spare ribs before grilling them with a spicy red-pepper-jelly glaze. The resulting ribs are irresistibly caramelized. Get the Recipe 12 of 27 Tandoori Leg of Lamb © James Baigrie The tandoor oven is India's version of a grill. Here, Steven Raichlen follows the traditional method of tandoori marinating — a wash of lemon juice followed by a long bath in a yogurt-based marinade — using a tender, succulent leg of lamb. After grilling the lamb, Raichlen says, make sure it rests for at least 15 minutes before carving. Get the Recipe 13 of 27 Yucatán Pork with Annatto and Ancho Chiles This classic Mexican dish of pork shoulder and spices uses a double layer of banana leaves as a flavorful pouch for cooking, but the thick, fibrous leaves are not edible. Get the Recipe 14 of 27 Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Roasted Rosemary Potatoes © John Kernick Castel de Paolis's grilled rib eye is wonderful, but it's the potatoes that make this dish unforgettably good. First parboiled, then roasted with rosemary and a healthy glug of olive oil, the potatoes become marvelously crispy on the outside while remaining light, fluffy, and buttery within. Get the Recipe 15 of 27 Sausage Mixed Grill © Con Poulos This recipe works for breakfast sausages, weisswursts, or Italian sausages, just be sure to prick fresh sausages all over before grilling to release the excess fat. Get the Recipe 16 of 27 Yogurt-Marinated Lamb Skewers This dish is great for entertaining: The spiced lamb marinates overnight, and the sauce can be made ahead of time. All you have to do right before serving is grill the skewers for seven minutes. Get the Recipe 17 of 27 Kogi Dogs In 2018, Food & Wine named this recipe one of our 40 best: Roy Choi was the first chef without a brick-and-mortar restaurant ever named a F&W Best New Chef. A former cook at Le Bernardin, his culinary pedigree was hard-core, but the forward-thinking chef opted for a more unconventional path. His mission to bring great food to the streets via his Kogi Korean BBQ food truck, and soon after tweeting its stops, lines were endless, and these smoky Kogi dogs, piled high with cabbage, kimchi, and cheddar, became a cult favorite. Get the Recipe 18 of 27 Greek-Style Leg of Lamb © Con Poulos The key to this Mediterranean-inspired dish is a five-hour marinade. After that, a half hour on the grill will give you a nice medium-rare lamb to slice against the grain and serve. Get the Recipe 19 of 27 Triple Pork Burgers with Quick Cucumber Kimchi © John Kernick Bill Kim's thin, triple-stacked burgers, loaded with ginger, lemongrass, cilantro, and basil, are inspired by a lemongrass pork sausage he served at his former restaurant in Chicago, BellyQ. Get the Recipe 20 of 27 Chinese-Style Ribs with Guava Barbecue Sauce © Tina Rupp Steven Raichlen sprays his ribs with sherry halfway through grilling, then serves them on a platter brushed with guava sauce. Get the Recipe 21 of 27 Churrasco with Chimichurri Churrasco, a Portuguese term for grilled meat, is a backbone of many Latin American cuisines. Michael Cordúa makes his with butterflied tenderloin, Nicaraguan-style. Get the Recipe 22 of 27 Jerk Pork Tenderloin with Pineapple Salsa © Kana Okada Pork tenderloin is leaner than skin-on chicken and delicious in the spicy, smoky recipe here. Capsaicin, the chemical that makes chiles taste hot, can help boost metabolism; for extra fire, add the chile seeds to the marinade. Get the Recipe 23 of 27 Carne Asada with Black Beans © Lucy Schaeffer Rick Bayless serves this classic dish that combines grilled marinated steak, fried plantains, homemade black beans, and fresh guacamole. To make it easier, trim the dish back to a simple duo of spice-marinated rib eye steaks and canned black beans served with avocado. Get the Recipe 24 of 27 Grilled Lamb Ribs with Quick Preserved Lemons John Kernick Michael Symon, who grew up in a Greek and Sicilian family, often adds Greek accents when he cooks. He seasons lamb ribs with oregano and coriander before grilling and serves them with tangy quick-preserved lemons. Get the Recipe 25 of 27 Bacon-and-Kimchi Burgers © Con Poulos Chef Wesley Genovart makes this over-the-top, Shake Shack-inspired burger with two thin stacked patties, thick-cut bacon, kimchi and a spicy homemade sauce. Get the Recipe 26 of 27 Kalbi Ribs and Grilled Corn with Kalbi Butter © John Kernick Chef Stephanie Izard's Korean beef kalbi ribs are a summer mainstay. They're especially fantastic with the crisp, buttery charred corn here. Get the Recipe 27 of 27 Grilled Short Ribs with Smoky Blackberry Barbecue Sauce © Christina Holmes This delicious barbecue sauce gets its smoky flavor from berries that are grilled in a perforated pan; you can use sturdy foil or a foil pan with holes punched in instead. Chipotle chiles packed in adobo amplify the smokiness of the berries. Get the Recipe Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
