Grill Spices – The Right Seasoning and Useful Tips

Are you also not a fan of pre-marinated meat from the supermarket? That’s great, because delicious grilled meat requires more than just a store-bought marinade or a pinch of salt. With a variety of spices, you can quickly and easily enhance your grilled meat to perfection. But which grill spice goes with which meat, and what is the best way to season? You’ll find all that out here in this blog post.

 

When is the right time to season?

Whether before grilling, during grilling, or only on the plate: opinions are divided! Trust your own taste and your own experience. Whatever you like is allowed. Tip: Fleur de Sel is a seasoning that is ideal for adding at the end and refining the taste. Season only once the grilled meat has reached its special note over the glowing coals. It’s a secret recipe of many steak fans to add the finishing touch to juicy meat. At this stage, freshly ground black pepper perfectly complements the ideal grilled flavor.

Marinate or use a dry rub spice blend?

Basically, there are two different ways to best season your meat. Either you marinate the meat with oil, or you marinate the meat dry (without oil). You have to decide for yourself which method is better, as tastes are known to differ 😉

Marinating: If you want to marinate your meat with oil, it is best to use olive or sunflower oil. Mix the grill spice with the oil and brush it onto the meat, then place the meat in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, depending on your preference. The spice blend will then soak into the meat.

Rub spice blend: Use a spice of your choice and "massage" it into the meat, but without oil. This method is popular with calorie-conscious gourmets. For your information: "Rub" comes from English, and because the meat is rubbed with the spice blend, it is called a "rub."
