Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare your chosen protein by trimming excess fat and patting it dry before marinating or seasoning as desired for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Chop all vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking, then toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat, then lightly oil the grates to prevent the food from sticking.
  2. Grill the protein for 4-7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it is cooked through and reaches safe internal temperatures.
  3. Grill the vegetables simultaneously for 5-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender-crisp and have nice char marks.
  4. If using, brush on the BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to create a flavorful glaze.
Serving
  1. Remove all cooked items from the grill and let the protein rest for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve your grilled protein and vegetables immediately, optionally garnished with fresh herbs.

Notes

For best results, always marinate proteins for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, to enhance flavor. Adjust seasoning and spice levels to your personal preference, and use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness. Pair these recipes with a fresh salad or a side of quinoa for a complete and balanced meal.
