Pre-Braised Meats

Change things up from the traditional burgers and brats, and try cooking some real big hunks of meat on the grill, such as lamb shanks or leg of lamb. The best way to do this is to first marinate the meat in oil, honey and assorted herbs (or any marinade you prefer). Then pre-braise it in the oven on low heat the night before. The next day, fire up the grill, and sear it all over until charred to your liking. 

And if you're not a fan of lamb, why not go for spare ribs or chicken thighs?
