Bring on the Barbecue This Fourth of July

With Fourth of July approaching, bring on the barbecues! 

Beverly Butcher Shop meat cutter Jake Resse said he believes that in order for a barbecue to be successful there should be steak tips and sausages.

"They're great for cookouts," he said.

When he grills, Resse enjoys his sausages well done. The best way to do this is to grill them using low heat for about a half an hour.

For steak tips, Resse grills them for five to six minutes on high. If you're in the search for marinades Resse said to look no further. Resse said that the butcher shop's best marinade is the house which includes garlic, mustard seed, salt and pepper, paprika and oil. Regardless, the butcher shop has 20 marinades people can choose from, a lot of variety and something for everyone, he said.

Carlos Elite, main manager at sees grilling this way: "There's a lot of things you can do on the grill, you just have to pick what you want."

Elite said that the best marinade for steaks is the original flavor from McKinnon's. "It tastes like tomato basil," he said. "It's sweet."
