A guide to the basics of preparing meat outdoors or in your kitchen, plus forty-four easy and delicious recipes for everyone’s favorite cuts. Start out with some lip-smackin’ ribs, from Old-School Southern Barbecued Spare Ribs that are fall-off-the-bone tender to the sweet-savory combo found in the Apricot-Glazed Baby Back Ribs. Move on to chops that will really grow your appreciation for “steak’s little brother.” Make classic Grilled Veal Chops Oscar or Pork Tenderloin Medallion Chops Wrapped in Bacon with an Apple Glaze for a romantic dinner. Try one of the new preparations for steaks of all kinds—whether you’re cooking up a filet, skirt, flank, or even a tuna steak. And grilled wings are always a crowd-pleaser, from Turkey Wings Parmigiana—perfect for your next Super Bowl Party—to the irresistible Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Wings. Ray Lampe (a.k.a. Dr. BBQ) will walk you through the basics of how to light a grill and what tools are most handy when dealing with meat. Then graduate to using smoking chips and learn how they pair with the different cuts of meat. No grill? No problem! You can use an indoor broiler or a grill pan and still get great results. Choose the ideal rub, sauce, or salsa to season your beautifully charred ribs or wings, and even perfect your own Homemade Steak Sauce. Dr. BBQ also breaks down the different cuts and grades to help you pick out a great steak as well as your butcher does. With the simple instructions and delicious recipes in Ribs, Chops, Steaks & Wings, you’ll be inspired to rub, slice, sear, and slather your way to your inner carnivore.

The best-selling team of chef Chris Schlesinger and Cook's Illustrated executive editor John Willoughby present a radically simple method of applying flavor boosters to ingredients hot off the grill, maximizing flavor and dramatically reducing grilling time over traditional marinades. Schlesinger and Willoughby wield spices and condiments from around the world masterfully in these 130 minimal preparation, maximum flavor recipes inspired by Asian, Mediterranean, Latin, and Caribbean cuisine. In contrast to grilling books that require long-lead marinating and time-consuming steps, The Big Flavor Grill's no-fuss approach means lightning-quick prep and grill times. Their new take on using spice rubs to coat ingredients before they go over the coals trumps traditional marinating by providing stronger, better-defined flavors--and rubs can be used at the last minute instead of having to think ahead, as with marinades. Willoughby and Schlesinger then take flavor to the next level by tossing just-grilled items with marinade-like ingredients--citrus, hoisin, fish sauce, ginger, basil, fresh chiles--resulting in bolder, more complex dishes and lots of saved time and effort.
