TIPS FOR SIMPLE GRILLING~

As a rule, I never grill on high heat.

Always bring the meat to room temperature before grilling.

Heat your grill to a medium heat. Every grill is different. On my grill, with three burners lit, medium brings the heat to 400 degrees.

Plan to stick close to the grill while you cook. This means, plan out all of your side dishes ahead of time and prepare your salad. Make sure everything is ready to go before you put that meat on the grill~

COOKING TEMPERATURES AND APPROX. COOKING TIMES~

Using a meat thermometer will ensure that you always have the doneness that you are looking for.

GROUND BEEF must be cooked to 160 degrees internal temperature

BEEF/VEAL/LAMB can be cooked to
145 internal temperature for Medium-Rare
150 internal temperature for Medium-Well

POULTRY must be cooked to 165 degrees internal temperature

PORK should be cooked to 145 degrees internal temperature and will be a slight bit pink in the center…that’s OK~

Use a timer! I suggest this because everyone’s idea of five minutes is different.
The cooking times below, are for cooking over medium heat, and flipping once at the halfway point.
