If you aren’t entirely happy with the quality of the meat you’ve purchased, you can try Elizabeth’s “rib refresher” trick. She combines 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar with 3 cups water and places the ribs in this mixture for about 20 minutes. Do not rinse this solution off the ribs before cooking. The trick is so good, she says, she sometimes does it even with really fresh, beautiful ribs. Essentially, the vinegar solution “cleanses” the meat and makes the flavors shine through without any “gamey” flavor.

Beef fajitas, is a dish which starts with a marinade of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cumin, chili powder, sugar, black pepper, red pepper flakes and lime juice. You don’t want to overcook the flank steak, and because it’s thin, it will cook in no time. So probably a total of 3 to 4 minutes is all you want to do…maybe even a little less. After grilling the steak and veggies, putting everything in place topped with a few fresh cilantro leaves, I’d say, it’s truly pure divination.

This isn’t the most sophisticated fish preparations that you may think of when you think of a tastier fish dish – instead, these are the most basic tips on how to prepare a more flavorful fish. I like to try and encourage home cooking, and any fish will do. This is often the case why fantastic fish recipes only require as little as 10-15 minutes cooking, or you could leave it a little longer but not that long.

The general rule for cooking fish is 10 minutes for a 1-inch thick piece. I usually cook fish in less than 10 minutes per inch. If it is thicker or thinner, I adjust the time accordingly. The next most important thing to remember about cooking fish is that you control the flavors.

It’s easiest to infuse flavor when steaming fish. By adding a few aromatic ingredients to the water; lemon peel and dill sprigs are favorite partners for fish. Just place the fish in a large bamboo steamer or metal steamer basket and bring steamer over the frying pan (make sure the base doesn’t touch the water) and steam until the food is cooked through.

Brining is also a very popular way to infuse flavor on fish. You can prepare brine recipe for smoked fish before placing it on the grill or smoker. You can brine a fillet of fish in wine or apple cider and salt or add such flavorings as pepper, herbs, spices, citrus peels, fresh berries, cinnamon sticks, cloves or garlic. The type of brine you use will determine the flavor of fish. Invest in a large pot so that you can place the fish and brining solution together more conveniently.

Rubbing dried herbs and spices to infuse flavor can also do the trick. This technique is also used to create a thick crust and pan sear fish fillets. A quick pan sear doesn’t generally add a lot of fat to worry about, especially if you’re careful about the amount and type of oil you use in the pan. You’ll want to sear the fish first before finishing it in the oven.

Cooking fish wrapped in foil, with an assorted, vegetables, herbs and other flavors can be delicious and cut the fat tremendously. Your simplest fish wrapped with a few slices of lemon and a dash of pepper is one big difference.

Last but not the least, is by using wood chips. The smoker pan that can be used on the grill or in the oven, or the flavored woods can produce natural smoke flavor in minutes, will render a perfect balance of smokiness and sweetness on any grilled or smoked fish dish. The bags already have the wood chip flavorings inside, simply add your fish, place on your grill and enjoy the flavors. Here is how to use wood chips.
