BBQ Recipe Prep for Grilling on the Go
No one wants to say goodbye to summer. While we hold on tightly to our floaties, we know deep in our hearts that there are only two things that can lift our spirits as this season comes to an end — an epic day trip and some heavenly BBQ food.
Wherever you go, delicious BBQ can always follow. A trip just isn’t the same without a scrumptious meal, but recipe prep shouldn’t consume too much time on your BBQ-filled day of adventure. We’ve got you covered with a list of dishes that can be prepared in advance and easily be cooked on the grill once you arrive at your destination.
Marinated Veal Steaks
These marinated veal steaks combine the zestiness of lime and the savoriness of mustard to create a flavor that’s completely unexpected. Using mustard in your marinade will end up being one of the best BBQ decisions you’ve ever made!
Creating a gourmet meal on-the-go has never been easier. After recipe prep, it only takes 20 minutes to cook this meal. You’ll instantly fall in love with its tangy flavor and perfectly crunchy sear.
