BBQ Pineapple Meatball Skewers Recipe

I LOVE to grill, especially in the summer time, it’s so nice to keep the heat and mess outside.  Grilling is a little like cooking on the Mojave dessert — dry, dry and hot, hot, hot!  Make sure to use your grilling sauce and apply it with each rotation so the meatballs stay nice and moist on the inside. BBQ Pineapple Meatball Skewers are a hard-to-beat flavor combination! Seriously.  You won’t believe how easy these are to make and how delicious they taste 🙂

Tips & Tricks for Grilling

• Take meat our of fridge to bring it to room temperature for 20-30 minutes.  

• Clean the BBQ grill grate with a metal scraper,

• To reduce sticking spray generously with cooking spray before igniting grill so it does not flame up. 

• Preheat your grill on high, scrape again if needed to remove any really tough to remove areas.  

• Create heat zones for two stage cooking;

• Stage One: heat one side of grill to high heat; sear the meat on each side for 2 minutes, rotating to get cross-hatching marks.

• Stage Two: heat second side of grill to low or off; place the seared meat here until reaches desired temperature.

• Invest in a high quality probe thermometer.

• To get the best reading; probe the meat on the side inserting the probe into the center of the cut of meat.

• Once meat reaches 5 degrees below desired temperature move to a resting plate and tent with foil to keep warm without sweating.

• Rest meat for 5 minutes to slow the juices.

• Serve and Enjoy!
