It’s officially time to fire up the grill—and we’re handing over our most requested, most tested, and most trusted recipes to help you do it right.

This is the Girl Carnivore Grilling Greatest Hits List—built from what our readers love most and what we make ourselves on repeat. These recipes work because they’re grounded in technique, deliver real flavor, and won’t leave you scrambling at the grill.

Quick Wins (30 Minutes or Less)

  • Grilled Chicken Breasts Juicy, never dry. This is our method for dang good grilled chicken with char marks and flavor that actually sticks.
  • BBQ Shrimp Skewers Fast, smoky, and built for backyard bites. Pro tip: these go quick, so double the batch.
  • Grilled Flank Steak One of our all-time favorites. An epic steak, with a quick marinade, and how to get a killer crust over high heat.

🔥 Showstoppers (Your Grilling Flex)

  • Traeger 3-2-1 Ribs The most reliable rib method out there. This 3-2-1 technique delivers fall-off-the-bone perfection every time.
  • Smoked Tri-Tip Big flavor, beautiful crust, and a great pick for feeding a crew without needing brisket timing.
  • Easy Smoked Chuck Roast Affordable, full of beefy richness, and pulls apart for tacos, sandwiches, and more. Ideal for low & slow weekends.

👏 Crowd Pleasers (Feeds a Group)

  • Smoked Chicken Drumsticks Budget-friendly and hands-down one of our most clicked recipes. The perfect grill snack.
  • Grilled Lamb Kabobs Tender, flavorful, and a little unexpected. These kabobs prove lamb belongs at your BBQ.
  • Smoked Pulled Pork Low and slow classic. Makes a mountain of meat, and the leftovers get even better.
