Greg Brockman, head butcher at Foragers Market believes grilling should extend beyond the same chicken, fish and burger recipes. From a secret butcher's cut to mouthwatering lamb cutlets, Greg shares his top selections and cooking tips for alternative summer BBQ'ing.

- Denver Cut: "Similar to a skirt steak, this cut is very tender, even though it comes from a non-tender muscle group in the cow [the chuck]. It's packed with flavor and is incredibly juicy - just the type of rich, beefy flavor you want in a steak straight off the grill."

- Flatiron: "Also cut from the chuck of a cow, this cut of beef is usually thin and long, making it a nice, quick griller. Second in tenderness only to tenderloin (and about half the cost!) this is a great cut to serve at big cookouts where you're feeding many guests."

- Secreto: "Known as a 'secret' cut of pork (because many butchers call it by various names), this Spanish cut usually comes from the belly of the pig, boasts a tremendous amount of flavor, and is very easy to grill."

- Leg of Lamb Cutlets: "Going beyond lamb chops, lamb cutlets have a nice, full flavor that you don't typically find at summer barbeques. Grilling is one of the best ways to cook this type of meat, so take advantage in the summer months!"

- Rabbit: Another type of meat not typically associated with summer cookouts, try grilling the legs and thighs of a rabbit, the same way you would a chicken leg or thigh. Consider BBQ rabbit a better, more sophisticated version of BBQ chicken - it has more flavor and is also low in fat.

While these cuts of meat may be unique, the cooking process is straightforward. "Throw any of these on the grill and simply add a little Salt and Pepper," Greg says. "They all have so much flavor, you don't need to worry about fancy marinades or rubs."
