Ribs, Chops, Steaks, & Wings


Book Description

A guide to the basics of preparing meat outdoors or in your kitchen, plus forty-four easy and delicious recipes for everyone’s favorite cuts. Start out with some lip-smackin’ ribs, from Old-School Southern Barbecued Spare Ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender to the sweet-savory combo found in the Apricot-Glazed Baby Back Ribs. Move on to chops that will really grow your appreciation for “steak’s little brother.” Make classic Grilled Veal Chops Oscar or Pork Tenderloin Medallion Chops Wrapped in Bacon with an Apple Glaze for a romantic dinner. Try one of the new preparations for steaks of all kinds—whether you’re cooking up a filet, skirt, flank, or even a tuna steak. And grilled wings are always a crowd-pleaser, from Turkey Wings Parmigiana—perfect for your next Super Bowl Party—to the irresistible Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Wings. Ray Lampe (a.k.a. Dr. BBQ) will walk you through the basics of how to light a grill and what tools are most handy when dealing with meat. Then graduate to using smoking chips and learn how they pair with the different cuts of meat. No grill? No problem! You can use an indoor broiler or a grill pan and still get great results. Choose the ideal rub, sauce, or salsa to season your beautifully charred ribs or wings, and even perfect your own Homemade Steak Sauce. Dr. BBQ also breaks down the different cuts and grades to help you pick out a great steak as well as your butcher does. With the simple instructions and delicious recipes in Ribs, Chops, Steaks & Wings, you’ll be inspired to rub, slice, sear, and slather your way to your inner carnivore.

The Big-Flavor Grill


Book Description

The best-selling team of chef Chris Schlesinger and Cook's Illustrated executive editor John Willoughby present a radically simple method of applying flavor boosters to ingredients hot off the grill, maximizing flavor and dramatically reducing grilling time over traditional marinades. Schlesinger and Willoughby wield spices and condiments from around the world masterfully in these 130 minimal preparation, maximum flavor recipes inspired by Asian, Mediterranean, Latin, and Caribbean cuisine. In contrast to grilling books that require long-lead marinating and time-consuming steps, The Big Flavor Grill's no-fuss approach means lightning-quick prep and grill times. Their new take on using spice rubs to coat ingredients before they go over the coals trumps traditional marinating by providing stronger, better-defined flavors--and rubs can be used at the last minute instead of having to think ahead, as with marinades. Willoughby and Schlesinger then take flavor to the next level by tossing just-grilled items with marinade-like ingredients--citrus, hoisin, fish sauce, ginger, basil, fresh chiles--resulting in bolder, more complex dishes and lots of saved time and effort.

Book Description

The Cook’s Illustrated Meat Book begins with a 27-page master class in meat cookery, which covers shopping (what’s the difference between natural and organic labels?), storing (just how long should you really refrigerate meat and does the duration vary if the meat is cooked or raw?), and seasoning meat (marinating, salting, and brining). Matching cut to cooking method is another key to success, so our guide includes fully illustrated pages devoted to all of the major cooking methods: sautéing, pan-searing, pan-roasting, roasting, grilling, barbecuing, and more. We identify the best cuts for these methods and explain point by point how and why you should follow our steps and what may happen if you don’t. 425 Bulletproof and rigorously tested recipes for beef, pork, lamb, veal, and poultry provide plenty of options for everyday meals and special occasion dinners and you’ll learn new and better ways to cook favorites such as Pan-Seared Thick-Cut Steak, Juicy Pub-Style Burgers, Weeknight Roast Chicken, Barbecued Pulled Pork, and more. The Cook’s Illustrated Meat Book also includes equipment recommendations (what should you look for in a good roasting pan and is it worth spending extra bucks on a pricey nonstick skillet?). In addition, hundreds of step-by-step illustrations guide you through our core techniques so whether you’re slicing a chicken breast into cutlets or getting ready to carve prime rib the Cook’s Illustrated Meat Book covers all the bases
