IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THE SAME OLD SAME OLD, GET A LOAD OF THIS!
As it gets warmer, you'll likely be spending more time with family and friends. That means food is going to be involved! The same old BBQ's just aren't going to cut it anymore if you're looking to move up the ladder to BBQ king in your circle. You need pizzazz. You need excitement! You need something new! Just as important as what you eat, entertainment can be the thing to really make your BBQ memorable. Level up from the usual standard BBQ with something special. Let The Meat Guy introduce you to new BBQ recipes for that (I can't believe I'm saying this) "Instagrammable BBQ!"
DUTCH OVEN PIZZA!
BBQ + Pizza? Oh yes baby. Pizza is just one of those things that you can eat whenever and most importantly, wherever. Who doesn't love pizza? Recently frozen pizzas have been a bit of a boom, but this time we're going to show you a recipe that with only a Dutch Oven and five minutes, you can make some pretty spectacular outdoor pizzas!
WITH A 24CM DUTCH OVEN
- <Ingredients>
-
150g of Flour
4g of Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon of Sugar
1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
80ml of Water
- <How to Make!>
-
Place all ingredients except for the water into a bowl for mixing. Begin mixing and add the water as you go. Once it starts to look like dough, place it on a cooking sheet, or a nonstick surface with aluminum foil and begin to softly mash that baby into a circular shape. Once you've got it looking the way you want it to, start adding your sauces, cheese, vegetables, MEAT etc, and place it in the dutch oven. Close the lid and hang it over a charcoal fire.
※The trick here is to not smelt the pizza. Cook it over a medium flame or place the oven over hot coals. You'll want to place coals on top of the covered pot as well. Let this sit for 5-7 minutes and voila! Pizza Time!
SKILLET AJILLO
First add about 4mm of olive oil into your skillet. Add onions, garlic, paprika, and your shrimps while bringing it to a low to medium flame. After cooking, add salt and pepper to finish. If you want to get fancy, grab a French baguette and top the bread slices with your cooked shrimps. This is where that "instagrammable" part comes in. You can also use the left-over oil for your next menu item, and it'll still have some of that shrimp and garlic flavor! We recommend mushrooms, chicken, and even Japanese scallops.
MIXED DRINK BAR! / SMOOTHIE BAR!
Smoothies and mixed drinks are always a hit from kids to adults! You can even throw a bit of bourbon in the mixer to give the adult beverages a bit of kick. (Remember entertainment is important). Fruits are also as you already know, super high in vitamins and nutrients that your body needs! This will even add a brighter color to your BBQ!
TRY SOMETHING NEW! SWITCH UP THE ATMOSPHERE WITH DIFFERENT SPICES!
At any BBQ the meat is always the main course. Why not switch it up with a bit of zing! Let’s move away from the usual salt and pepper recipes and explore an endless amount of flavors!

BE FAMOUS! (MAYBE!) SWITCH UP THE MEATS AND REALLY TURN SOME HEADS!
Normally, BBQ's consist of beef, pork, chicken, etc. But to be the best, no no, to make this an Instagrammable BBQ, you need some eyecatchers. This is that pizzazz I mentioned earlier. You need things that people have never seen before.
DACHOU SHABU SHABU OSTRICH BBQ!
To be honest, it kind of tastes like beef, but not quite! Once you've taken a bite out of it, you'll feel the difference. Your body will thank you as well. Ostrich is a very healthy red meat with all the hearty flavor of beef. Extremely high in protein, low in fat, calories, and cholesterol but high in Iron– Ostrich meat even has less fat than skinless chicken or turkey!
RABBIT & HERBS BBQ!
Speaking of protein, rabbit is also another exotic meat that could help with the gym gains! It also has a special texture that only those who have tried it can describe. *wink wink*
- <Ingredients>
-
Rabbits Leg (Rub it for good luck!)
1 Tablespoon of White Wine
A Pinch of Rosemary and Oregano
1/3 Teaspoon of Salt
- <How to Make!>
-
Marinade for 15 minutes,wrap in aluminum foil, and cook over a medium flame for 10 more minutes.
KANGAROO STEAKS!
Kangaroo meat might look like beef, but you'd be happily surprised at the differences! Softer than beef, you're bound to feel a sense of adventure when trying kangaroo at any BBQ. Kangaroo steaks go great with the thickest of steak sauces or for example Japanese Tare Sauce.
CROCODILE AJILLO!
No, not alligator! It's one thing to have our crocodile claws on the grill, but another to be able to say that you can throw down in the kitchen with the exotic meat itself. Check out our crocodile ajillo recipe.
- <Ingredients>
-
Prepared, Easy to Eat Crocodile Meat
4mm of Olive Oil
Large Cut Garlic Cloves
Cut Red Paprika Peppers
- <How to Make!>
-
Add about 4mm of olive oil to your skillet with the cut garlic cloves, crocodile meat, and cut paprika peppers while heating with low to medium heat. If the meat becomes white immediately, your flame is too high. As it cooks, throw a bit of salt and black pepper to finish off the flavor. Sticking to the theme of "fancy" and "Instagrammable" baguettes make for an excellent extra addition. ーTasty too! In this recipe we personally used our crocodile cubes! They Can be found 「here」
