Preparation
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Grilling
  1. Place the seasoned protein on the preheated grill.
  2. Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, steak for 4-6 minutes per side for medium-rare, salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, and pork tenderloin for 15-20 minutes total, turning occasionally.
  3. Shrimp cooks quickly in 2-3 minutes per side, and tofu for 5-7 minutes per side.
  4. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush with BBQ sauce if desired for added flavor.
Serving

Notes

Remember to adjust grilling times based on the thickness of your protein and your desired doneness. For extra flavor, marinate proteins for at least 30 minutes before grilling. Serve with a variety of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal.
