the perfect july the 4th

everyone knows how to cook out and everyones is good, i can tell ya how to make it great. people throw burgers, steaks, brisketd, ribs on the grill and chow down the moment they come off the grill, Thats a NO NO NO! trust me people i am the king of grilling!                             The 1st mistake you make make is buying the freshest red meat, NO! look for the stuff thats starting to turn brown, that means the enzymes are starting to break down and it will be more tender and the butchers will mark it down so its cheaper (trust me people, my best friend has been a butcher for 20yrs) Ill get back to that later. then whatever you are cooking out, put your rub or special sauces on it but never ever put meat on the grill outta the fridge, let it come to room temp! yea ya can rub it or sauce it the night before but there is salt in everything you use, and the salt draws the moister outta the meat, when ya let it come to room temp.    the meat re absorbs that moistier with all the spices in it, then i know everyone has heard this, cook low & slow, heres the trick that no one wants to wait on, im sure ya all heard let it rest after ya pull it off the grill, dont tent it with foil, just let it rest! Here is the best explnation i can give, If your on a tread mill or go jog for 30min then all your muscles are tight, and if you sit down and rest everything relaxes, same thing with meat, when ya pull it off the grill everything is tight, its just joged a mile or so, let it rest, it will loosen up and be the juiciest most flaviorable steak or rib or chicken youve ever had! let it rest, eat some potato salad, some chips, coleslaw,maccaroni salad, let it rest! you will be rewarded! Pbs may have a show called America"s test Kitchen But trust me MY STUFF WORKS , yea i get a lot of ideas from them but i tweek em a little bit. Iv got burgers, brats, ribs, chicken,  going on the grill on the 4th  and we can see the fireworks from our front yard! Every one have a safe and fun 4th of july!
