  2. Whisk until everything blends well.

  3. Add the chicken, ensuring it’s fully submerged.

Note: Don’t marinate for more than 12 hours or the acids may soften the meat too much, causing mushiness.


2️⃣ Marinate the Chicken

  • Seal the bowl or bag and refrigerate.

  • Minimum: 1 hour

  • Ideal: 3–6 hours

  • Maximum: 12 hours


3️⃣ Cook the Chicken

You can grill, pan-sear, or air-fry the chicken:

Grilling (Best Flavor)

  1. Heat grill to medium-high.

  2. Remove chicken and pat lightly with paper towels.

  3. Grill 5–7 minutes each side until lightly charred and cooked through.

Pan-Searing

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high and add a bit of oil.

  2. Sear chicken until browned and cooked through, flipping once.

Air Frying

  1. Preheat to 190°C (375°F).

  2. Air fry 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway.

Chicken is ready when it reaches 74°C / 165°F internal temperature.


4️⃣ Slice and Finish

  • Let chicken rest 3–5 minutes before cutting.

  • Slice or chop into taco-friendly pieces.

  • Warm tortillas over a dry skillet or flame until slightly charred.

Weber Grill Beef Ribs with Cabernet Sauce



Weber Grill Beef Ribs with Cabernet Sauce 

It is the perfect opportunity to invite your friend over for a sunny weekend and demonstrate your braai skills. While it often revolves around a large, succulent steak or delicious chops, are you aware that you can also roast the most tender and flavorful beef ribs on your Weber braai? With the lid in place, you can regulate the temperature and achieve roasting perfection. The rub enhances the flavors and seasons the ribs, while the BBQ sauce serves as a sticky and remarkable basting and serving sauce.

Tips for Beef Ribs with Cabernet Sauce
After searing the ribs on both sides, you have the option to either place them in a pan or, after basting, wrap them in foil and cook for a minimum of two hours. Avoid opening the lid unless it is absolutely necessary to check towards the end. The combination of the wine sauce and the extended roasting time will tenderize the meat to the point where it will easily separate from the bone. Reserve some sauce to serve as gravy.

Did you know that you can achieve a perfectly roasted rack of ribs in your Weber braai? This beef ribs with Cabernet sauce recipe may truly astonish you.
 



INGREDIENTS 

Rub :
  • 2 teaspoons dried marjoram
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 beef rib racks, about 5 pounds
Sauce :
  • 1-1/2 cups barbecue sauce
  • 1 cup Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
INSTRUCTIONS 

1. In a small bowl, mix the ingredients for the rub.
 2. Remove any excess fat from the ribs. Rub the mixture into the meat, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator for 8 to 12 hours.
 3. Before grilling, let the ribs sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes. Sear them over direct medium heat (350°F to 450°F), keeping the lid closed as much as possible, until they are evenly browned, approximately 10 minutes, turning them once. Transfer the ribs to a heavy-gauge aluminum pan that is large enough to accommodate them in a single layer. If needed, cut the ribs into smaller sections.
4. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce. Bring it to a boil over high heat. Pour the sauce over the ribs and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
5. Grill the ribs over indirect medium heat, keeping the lid closed, until they are very tender, which will take about 1-1/2 to 2 hours, turning them once.
6. Take the ribs out of the pan and cut them into one- or two-rib portions. Skim off any fat from the sauce and season it with salt and pepper. Serve the ribs hot with the sauce on the side. The Weber grill recipe for beef ribs is now ready to be served...delicious! Enjoy! weber grill beer-marinated-chicken-tacos

Grilled Duck with Ginger Sauce (Weber Grill)



Grilled Duck with Ginger Sauce (Weber Grill) 

Juicy and tender Japanese grilled duck breast accompanied by a zesty yuzu sauce, expertly seared on the Arteflame grill for an exceptional gourmet experience.

Introduction
Delight in the subtle flavors of Japanese-style grilled duck breast paired with a zesty yuzu sauce. Utilizing the Arteflame grill, we achieve an impeccable sear at 1,000°F on the center grill grate before finishing the duck to the perfect doneness on the flat cooktop. This reverse-searing method guarantees juicy, tender meat with an alluring crispy crust. The vibrant, citrusy yuzu sauce enhances the rich flavor of the duck, creating an unforgettable dish for any grilling aficionado.

Ingredients
2 duck breasts (skin on)
1/4 cup yuzu juice
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)

The Sear Makes the Steak, And Arteflame Makes the Sear
Why compromise with low-temperature searing when you can achieve steakhouse-quality results with an Arteflame? Gas grills require more time, which can dry out your steak, whereas the Arteflame sears at 1,000°F in just one minute, sealing in the juices for perfection.

1,000°F Sear for Steakhouse-Quality Perfection
Only the Arteflame’s center grill grate attains 1,000°F, providing the intense heat necessary to sear steaks to perfection while ensuring the interior remains juicy and as rare as desired.



 Ingredients 

 * 3 tb Oil * 1 ts Salt 
 * 4 oz Leeks, julienned 
 * 1 oz Ginger, grated and julienned 
 * 1 c White wine 
 * 5 tb Soy sauce 
 * 2 tb Ketchup 
 * 4 Drops of hot pepper sauce 
 * 2/3 c Pineapple syrup 
 * 1 ts Cornstarch 
 * 4 Pineapple rings, cubed 
 * 1/2 ts Salt 

 INSTRUCTIONS 

 Clean the duck thoroughly and dry it with a paper towel. Apply 1 tablespoon of oil to the skin and season with salt. Use a fork to prick the skin all over. Position the duck breast side up on a roasting rack within a roasting pan. Set the pan in the middle of the cooking grate. Pour 1 cup of water into the roasting pan.

Grill for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, or until the drumsticks can be easily moved in their sockets and the juices run clear, or until the duck reaches an internal temperature of 180°F. In a large skillet, heat the remaining oil. Add leeks and ginger, sautéing for 2-3 minutes. Incorporate wine, soy sauce, ketchup, and pepper sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil; then lower the heat and let it simmer for ten minutes. Combine pineapple syrup and cornstarch, add this mixture to the sauce, return to a boil, and simmer for an additional 2 minutes.

Stir in the pineapple cubes and salt. Remove the duck from the grill and allow it to rest for ten minutes. Cut the duck into quarters and place it in the sauce. This recipe yields 4 servings. Ensure the Weber grill is set to MEDIUM HEAT. Allow to cool. Savor the Grilled Duck with Ginger Sauce (Weber Grill) recipe!
