The ultimate guide to the best BBQ meats

As the summer sun graces us with its warm embrace, there's no better way to enjoy the great outdoors than with a sizzling BBQ. Whether you're a seasoned grill master or a novice eager to impress your guests, the quality of your meats can make all the difference. That’s where G. N. Badley & Sons Butchers in Telford comes in—your local experts in top-quality meats perfect for your next BBQ feast.

 

Succulent Steaks: The Showstopper

When it comes to BBQ, few things can rival the allure of a perfectly cooked steak. At G. N. Badley & Sons, we offer a selection of steaks that are second to none. From ribeye to sirloin, each cut is expertly aged and hand-selected for maximum flavour and tenderness. Grill them over high heat to seal in those juices, and you'll have a mouthwatering masterpiece on your hands.

Top Tip: Let your steak rest for a few minutes after grilling. This allows the juices to redistribute, giving you a tender and juicy bite every time.

Lush Lamb Chops: A Gourmet Delight

Lamb chops are a BBQ favourite for those who appreciate rich, full-bodied flavours. Our lamb is sourced from the finest local farms, ensuring a taste that's both robust and tender. Whether you opt for a simple seasoning of salt, pepper, and rosemary or a more exotic marinade, lamb chops are sure to elevate your BBQ game.

Cooking Tip: For a beautiful crust and a tender interior, sear the chops on high heat and then move them to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking.

Perfect Pork Ribs: Finger-Licking Good

No BBQ is complete without a stack of sticky, tender pork ribs. At G. N. Badley & Sons, we pride ourselves on offering meaty, well-marbled ribs that are ideal for slow cooking on the grill. Whether you like them slathered in BBQ sauce or seasoned with a dry rub, our ribs are guaranteed to be a hit.

Grilling Tip: Cook your ribs low and slow for the best results. This allows the fat to render down, making the meat fall-off-the-bone tender.

Classic Burgers: A BBQ Staple

Sometimes, you just can't beat a classic. Our handmade beef burgers are crafted from the finest cuts of beef, offering a juicy, flavour-packed bite every time. Whether you like them simple or loaded with toppings, our burgers are a must-have for any BBQ.

Serving Suggestion: Pair your burgers with fresh brioche buns, crispy lettuce, and a slice of cheddar for the ultimate BBQ experience.

Tantalising Sausages: The Crowd-Pleaser

No BBQ would be complete without a selection of sausages sizzling on the grill. Our range includes everything from traditional pork sausages to gourmet varieties like Cumberland and Lincolnshire. Made with prime cuts of meat and our secret blend of spices, these sausages are sure to please everyone.

Pro Tip: Avoid piercing the sausages while grilling. This helps keep the juices inside, ensuring a moist and flavourful sausage.

BBQ Chicken: Versatile and Delicious

Chicken is a versatile BBQ option that can be prepared in countless ways. From marinated chicken breasts to flavour-packed wings and drumsticks, our poultry is always fresh and full of flavour. Try our spicy marinades or opt for a simple herb and lemon seasoning for a light, summery dish.

Cooking Tip: To avoid dry chicken, cook over medium heat and keep a close eye on it. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 75°C.
