Citrus Thyme Marinade Recipe & Tips and Tricks for Summer Grilling

  • Take meat out of fridge to bring it to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.  
  • Clean the BBQ grill grate with a metal scraper.
  • To reduce sticking spray generously with cooking spray before igniting grill so it does not flame up. 
  • Preheat your grill on high, scrape again if needed to remove any really tough to remove areas.  
  • Create heat zones for two stage cooking;
  • Stage One: heat one side of grill to high heat; sear the meat on each side for 2 minutes, rotating to get cross-hatching marks.
  • Stage Two: heat second side of grill to low or off; place the seared meat here until reaches desired temperature.
  • Invest in a high quality probe thermometer.
  • To get the best reading; probe the meat on the side inserting the probe into the center of the cut of meat.
  • Grilling is a little like cooking on the Mojave desert --- dry, dry and hot, hot, hot!  Make sure to use your grilling sauce and apply it with each rotation so the protein stay nice and moist on the inside.
  • Once meat reaches 5 degrees below desired temperature move to a resting plate and tent with foil to keep warm without sweating.
  • Rest meat for 5 minutes to slow the juices.
  • Serve and Enjoy!

 Fit Friday....Warrior Weekend...Healthy Habits Building, I haven't decided how I am approaching the weekend. Have you? This has been a week of low motivation and burn out. I know if I can make it til school starts my life will start brighten. I have also found that if I have a  workout I am excited about my motivation comes a bit easier, I get in my workout, and I am always happier for it. So let's throw out a new workout for this Fit Friday. 
 
I know it is still warm out but the night time temps start getting a little cooler in August, this means the morning temps are perfect for hitting the track! The track isn't a new place for those of you that have been with me for a while, but we haven't visited the track in a while so lace up your shoes and let's go!
 
 

Fire up the grill and enjoy our Citrus Thyme Marinade Recipe on your favorite protein!
