THESE ARE THE SECRETS OF PERFECT BBQ

With the beautiful weather, we're spending more and more time in nature, and no outing is complete without a barbecue.

Barbecued meat and vegetables always have a special aroma and sweetness. And when you add marinade to the smoky flavor, you get a barbecue that's finger-licking good.

Even the finest cuts of meat, a good fire, and the highest quality grill are in vain if you haven't marinated the meat beforehand. Marinade is what will give the meat its special flavor and tenderness. It's best to marinate the meat the night before grilling, and it's worth every minute of waiting.

For a classic marinade:

• 100 ml sunflower oil
• 100 ml olive oil
• 100 ml apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 tablespoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 onion

Preparation:

Finely chop the onion and garlic, then place them in a large bowl. Add both types of oil, vinegar, and spices to the bowl with the onion, and mix everything together. Dip the pieces of meat into the marinade and place them in a larger container. Finally, pour the remaining marinade over the meat and cover. Leave it in the refrigerator for at least four hours, as reported by Krstarica.

For a spicy marinade:

• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 200 ml oil
• 2 tablespoons mustard

Preparation:

Put all the ingredients in a bowl and mix. Brush the meat or vegetables with the marinade and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
