It\u2019s braai season & we thought it pertinent to share some braai tips, straight from us, the butchers, at The Pickers Meat Co.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Skewer your lamb chops and stand fat side down first when braaiing to crisp up the fat. Once crispy remove the skewer and continue\u00a0braaiing as normal. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. When braaiing, squeeze fresh lemon over your lamb chops to make them extra tender and to enhance the natural flavour of the meat. <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Braai sausage first, then\u00a0the ribs. And always end with the steaks. <\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Buy bulk chops etc. and portion them out into freezer bags with your favourite marinade before freezing, so you have pre-marinated braai packs ready to\u00a0defrost for spontaneous braaiing. <\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Marinate meat the night before and shake off excess before putting it on the grill so it doesn\u2019t stick. Once you have cooked both sides you can baste with\u00a0your sauces. <\/span><\/li>\n
  6. If you want the meat succulent,\u00a0avoid turning the meat too many times. This allows the meat to seal in all the juices.<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. To stop the braaied meat drying out, place it in an open container which has fried onions inside. The onions will add flavour and moisture to the meat.<\/span><\/li>\n
  8. Always allow your steak to rest before devouring. <\/span><\/li>\n
  9. Braaiing your meat when it\u2019s at room temperature makes the outcome juicy and succulent. <\/span><\/li>\n
  10. Par cook chicken in the marinade and just brown it off on the braai. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
