Create your perfect winter BBQ menu with Prime Gourmet

Winter has officially arrived, and the weather has never been more perfect for barbecuing. With months of pleasantly warm and sunny months ahead of us, it’s essential that every UAE household starts brushing up their grilling skills and BBQ recipes, and stocking up with high-quality BBQ equipment and ingredients. 

Thankfully, Prime Gourmet has all you need to host a winter filled with BBQs to remember. Offering everything from premium meats such as beef cuts, burger boxes, steaks, sausages, and skewers, to rubs and sauces and grilling essentials like gloves, woodchips, lighter cubes and charcoal, we offer a one-stop-shop for all your outdoor cooking requirements. Not only that, but we are filled with recipe ideas and tips and tricks, too.   

In this blog, we will explore some of the best BBQ menu recipes that you can create at home.  

 

BBQ menu ideas that you and your family are sure to love 

Whether enjoyed in the park, camping in the desert or in your own backyard, cooking and eating out in the fresh air is the best way of spending quality time with friends and loved ones.   

But of course, you can’t have a great BBQ without fabulous food. While burgers and sausages remain the most popular BBQ menu staples, there are heaps of other sumptuous and interesting dishes that can also be prepared easily on the grill. Don’t forget to pair your juicy meats with some fresh salads and sides either, and of course conclude the experience with a decadent dessert or two.   

Below are some ideas to try next time you are in the mood for a good cookout.   

 

Steaks

A succulent steak is an essential addition to any great BBQ menu, and they are sure to be an instant crowd pleaser. However, to prepare them properly, you need to monitor your cooking time carefully, and of course choose only the best cuts, too.   

Offering ample marbling and a juicy texture, ribeye steaks take just a matter of minutes to cook on a very hot BBQ. Striploin steaks also work wonderfully, too. Just don’t forget to leave them to rest for around four minutes, and serve them up with zesty chimichurri, creamy black pepper sauce or your sauce or condiment of choice.   

At Prime Gourmet, we offer a range of premium ribeye, striploin, t-bone and tomahawk steaks, all sourced from globally renowned beef suppliers such as Stockyard Beef in Australia, and Silver Fern Farms in New Zealand.  

 

Beef brisket 

One of the most iconic forms of barbecued beef, beef briskets can be either prepared by slow cooking the meat on the grill for four hours or more in generous seasoning or, alternatively, by starting it in the oven and finishing it on the BBQ to give it a crispy finish.   

Admittedly, it takes a bit of patience to cook brisket for a BBQ, but you’ll be rewarded with incredibly flavoursome and delightfully smokey meat that is great for shredding and adding to tacos, flatbreads, burger buns, salads and more.   

At Prime Gourmet, we offer whole Australian Black Angus beef brisket, ready cooked beef brisket, and even handy beef brisket boxes with potato buns, sauce and pickles, making it easy to create a showstopping brisket for your next BBQ.  

 

Leg of lamb

This might seem more like a Sunday lunch centrepiece than the star of a BBQ menu, but leg of lamb can actually be a brilliant addition to any outdoor gathering.   

It tastes sensational when paired with light and summery flavours such as a squeeze of lemon, a pomegranate glaze or a fresh herb and mint sauce.  

At Prime Gourmet, our sumptuous legs of lamb come cooked, uncooked, with the bone in and ready prepared for roasting.  

 

Skewers

An unbeatable BBQ must-have and a favourite amongst families across the UAE, skewers can be made with a range of different meats, and customised with your preferred flavour of marinade or seasoning. 

Simple and low hassle yet immensely delicious, they work wonderfully with grilled vegetables, crunchy flatbreads and freshly baked flatbreads.   

At Prime Gourmet, we offer a range of chicken, beef and lamb skewers, ensuring that those of all tastes have plenty to savour and enjoy.  

 

Sausages

A good selection of sausages or hotdogs is essential at any memorable BBQ.  

For something a little different, why not try our New Zealand chicken and herb sausages, Dutch milk-fed veal sausages or Australian Black Angus beef chorizo sausages.  

To serve, simply fry some onions on the flat plate, and lay out an array of sauces and condiments for your guests to choose from. If you need some inspiration, our condiments section offers everything from American-style BBQ sauces from Lillie’s Q to mayonnaise with summer truffle from Italtouch and much more.   

 

Burgers

Burgers are another solid favourite that should be prioritised at any BBQ gathering. To make things easier, why not set up your own burger building station where your guests can customise their burgers with their own personal choice of sauce, cheese and toppings?  

Don’t be afraid to stray outside of the usual ketchup and mayonnaise and add in some more unique additions such as caramelized onion chutney and blue cheese dressing, and make the preparation even quicker by purchasing one of our Prime Gourmet burger boxes, too. Available with a choice of Wagyu Beef, Black Angus beef and lamb, each box includes high-quality burger patties, light and fluffy buns, sliced cheese, signature sauces and more.  

 

As you can see, there are so many different dishes that you can create on a hot grill. Cooking for a BBQ definitely doesn't just start and end with plain old cheese burgers.
