Summertime screams for grilling, but fortunately, grilling need not only take place June to September. While growing up, I mostly used a charcoal grill, which was a hot mess. Thanks to the growth in propane grills and grill pans you can use on the stovetop, I find grilling with these techniques to be faster and more convenient. Regardless of the season, this BBQ sauce is a great staple. Check out Sersie's All American Bowl with BBQ soy curls.
