Bobby Flay is no stranger to the grill. With several successful restaurants and countless cooking shows under his belt (or, shall we say, apron?), this Iron Chef certainly knows a thing or two about barbecuing.

We met up with the grilling guru to get his expert advice on the subject, and Flay shared his top secrets for selecting, seasoning and searing fantastic grilled foods. He’s got every aspect of the backyard barbecue down to a science, from choosing the perfect steak to avoiding the most common grilling mistakes! And then we went a step further and collected some of the best grill recipes out there.

Check out Flay's video series and fire up the grill with a new recipe or two from our collection.
