Before we move forward, there are a couple of essential points to consider for the BBQ party. First of all, we need to understand the taste of our guests. What kind of food do they like? BBQ Beef or Lamb? Grilled Chicken or Fish? Are there any vegetarians coming to the party? Will people spend time on foot or sitting around the table? Additionally are there any other attractions planned during the party? What is your budget? Answers to these questions will help you find the most brilliant ideas and plan your backyard BBQ party.

Defining what to cook at the BBQ party

Everything starts by deciding what to cook in the BBQ. A Middle East Style Kebab and skewers make everyone happy if you plan to have a variety of beef, lamb, and chicken to cover different tastes in one go. The good thing about kebabs is the authenticity and creating a localized concept. The ingredients are easy to find in many local butcher shops, and most of them prepare everything from the cuts to seasonings. All you need to do is fire up your BBQ and grill the meat.

Kebabs are always tasty when you grill various vegetables, such as onions, garlic, eggplants, peppers, and also mushrooms, which will satisfy the vegetarian guests with unique flavors furthermore. However, Kebabs needs special attention while cooking and selecting the best ingredients on the downside. It usually requires some expertise to make it memorable and cook & serve in style.

What about Steak?

Another good option is steaks. Most of the markets and butchers provide good quality Angus or Wagyu options across the UAE for different cuts, such as ribeye, striploin, tenderloin, pichania, tomahawk, T-bone. All these options will surely delight the guests when you serve in your backyard BBQ party and turn the event into a fine meat feast. On the other hand, this option is costly, and if you don’t know how to set up the fire, how to cook the meat, your event can turn into a disaster.

Burgers are also a great option too if you are willing to give people some movement and freedom in the party. Easy to cook, prepare and serve to even large audiences, and you know, everybody loves burgers! On the downside, burgers don’t make your party unique if you are not doing a gourmet style.

You can also go ahead with seafood at your party. Lemmon and buttered prawns, grilled calamari, scallops, or fish skewers would delight people. If you choose seafood, you should consider the audience, your party concept, and your BBQ setup twice as this type of food doesn’t suit all occasions.
