Great summer grilling recipes
Choosing what to grill is the biggest decision you need to make for your cookout, so we’ve got lots of great grilling recipes to help you out!
Overall, we recommend picking your proteins – whether that’s burgers, hot dogs, chicken, halloumi or anything else you love – and 2-3 sides (you can’t go wrong with a good potato salad or corn on the cob.) Whatever you choose, there’s one essential: the classic Sesame Seed Brioche Burger Bun. It’s the ultimate American staple, given a little French twist – they’re the best brioche buns for burgers.
Prep like a pro: the night before
There’s always so much to do on the day, so one of our best tips for grilling is to get started the night before with a few of these jobs:
- Get marinading: whether it’s chicken, halloumi, veg or any other meat, cover it in your marinade and leave it overnight to let the flavors get to work.
- Sort out the sides: all those salads, coleslaw and veggies can be prepped in advance so all you need to do is serve.
- Be ready to weather the storm: rain can spoil the best laid plans, so pick up a few umbrellas or ponchos, or put a tent over your grill just in case it starts to pour.
- Ice, ice baby! Sure, grilling is all about the food – but you have to get the drinks right too. Fill your ice cube trays and get them in ziplock bags to make room for more.
Prep like a pro: on the day
The big day is here – so before you start on the grilling recipes, make sure you’ve ticked all this off your checklist:
- Set up your grill area: lay out all the utensils you need like spatulas, flippers and forks.
- Lay the table: in France, style is everything – so it should be the same for your table! Proudly display your plates, cutlery and napkins as well as bowls, cutting boards and serving spoons (and don’t forget the all-important toothpicks!)
- Stock up on St Pierre. The most important ingredient of your cookout! This shopping list is a great place to start to make sure you’ve covered all bases for brioche:
- Brioche Burger Buns plain & seeded
- Brioche Hot Dog Rolls
- Brioche Slider Rolls
Achieving flame-grilled perfection
You’ve set the table, filled the ice trays and the family’s arrived – now, it’s time to fire up the grill. No barbecue is complete without a good burger, so here’s our top burger grilling tips:
- Level off: burgers often puff up in the middle, which makes topping tricky. Putting a little indent in the raw patty with your thumb or the back of a spoon helps keep it level.
- Flip once: it’s tempting to keep turning, but to get the best results, you should turn once. It’s ready to flip when you can lift the edge of the burger without it sticking.
- Grilled brioche is better: St Pierre buns are best served warm, so put them on the grill for a couple of minutes to toast.
As well as these tips for grilling, it’s important to remember a few safety tips too. For safe food preparation, always remember to wash your hands and utensils after they’ve touched raw meat – and make sure it’s cooked through before serving (a food thermometer is really helpful for this.) And we know it’s kind of obvious, but be careful when cooking over flames – keep the kids away from the barbecue if you can.
Finish with something sweet
It’s easy to forget about the sweet stuff when you’re planning your grilling recipes, but everyone always loves dessert! St Pierre’s Belgian Waffles make a great base for all kinds of treats – add a scoop of ice cream, or even a slice of griddled pineapple to keep the grilling ideas going. Or, try a croissant, crepe or slice of brioche loaf, toasted and topped.
