The perfect barbecue

Great dishes to copy

Barbecuing with friends and/or family is as much a part of summer as the sun. While bratwurst and pork neck steak are the grill classics here, larger pieces of meat are prepared in a smoker or gas grill at a barbecue.

The five most popular barbecue dishes

When it comes to meat, pork tops the list for barbecue, followed by beef and chicken, with the latter seen more as a side dish. The most popular barbecue dishes for the perfect barbecue are:
  1.  Spare Ribs
  2.  Pork shoulder (served as pulled pork)
  3. T-bone-Steak
  4. Rib-eye-Steak
  5. Beef brisket

Three delicious sauces recipes

As with us, barbecue sauces can not be missing. A must for a perfect BBQ is the barbecue sauce.

Barbecue sauce variation
  • 1 onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 500 mililiters of strained tomatoes
  • 350 grams of plum puree
  • 50 grams tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 150 Milliliter Apfelessig
  • 150 milliliters of apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons mustard
  • one teaspoon each of cumin and cayenne pepper
  • 20 milliliters of Worcester sauce
  • salt
  •  

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion and garlic. When the onion is translucent, add the tomato paste. Fry it briefly and deglaze with the strained tomatoes. Cook for five minutes.

Strain the sauce through a sieve into another pot. Then add the remaining ingredients. Boil down barbecue sauce until it thickens and season with salt.

Aioli with lime and habanero
  • Mayonnaise (purchased or homegrown)
  • ½ habanero
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • juice and zest of one lime
  • 100 grams of crème fraîche
Stir finely diced or chopped habenero, lime juice plus zest, finely chopped garlic and the crème fraîche into the mayonnaise. Leave to infuse in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Tuna sauce with dill
  • one shallot
  • 1 can tuna natural
  • 200 grams each of cream cheese and crème fraîche
  • 2 teaspoons dill
  • salt and pepper
  •  

Peel and finely chop onion and garlic cloves. Heat oil in a saucepan and sauté onion plus garlic. When the onion is translucent, add the tomato paste. Fry it briefly and deglaze with the strained tomatoes. Cook for five minutes.

Strain the sauce through a sieve into another pot. Then add the remaining ingredients. Boil down the barbecue sauce until it thickens and season with salt.

The three tastiest salads

While barbecuing without potato salad is unthinkable in this country, baked potatoes or mashed potatoes are served with spare ribs & co at a barbecue. Salad plays a subordinate role in the US original and is considered a concession for Europeans.

1. Cole slaw

Cole Slaw is the US-American version. Whether you use red or white cabbage for it is up to you. The dressing is creamy and can be enhanced with avocados.

2. Taco salad

Taco salads are layered salads that are especially popular in the southern states of the USA. Minced meat, corn, kidney beans, iceberg lettuce and tomatoes are layered. Sour cream and grated Gouda cheese are added on top. The final layer is tortilla chips, which are often served as a snack at a barbecue, even without a salad.

3. Spicy pineapple salad

Pineapple salad combines fruity with spicy components and also tends to be associated with the southern states. Since not everyone likes the heat of chilies, you can offer a milder version if necessary.
