What do you like to throw on the grill?...

[Noble Dreg]

Great to see this thread "Spring" back to life!

Many of us are still trapped in winters grip but with temps well into the forties we got out the grill over the weekend and did up a giant salmon flank...cedar planked, coated with a maple glaze.  It was great!

Alas, it was the last of the salmon...

Heretic priests... although a spit is much easier for getting them nicely done on all sides!




Oops... guess I should read back a page or two before posting... I see someone beat me to it!

Lighter fluid.  It makes such a lovely "foosh" sound.

I love some tenderloin steaks, with garlic mushrooms.

Elk Stakes ! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than beef.

And it's so much more convenient to stalk a parking lot.

anybody got any new and grand ideas for this spring/summer?
This lively rub made with cumin, coriander, and chili powder will pack lots of flavor onto any meat. This would be a great complement to any South or Central American meat dish."
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground coriander
6 tablespoons ground cumin
4 tablespoons hot chili powder 1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper

Directions:
1. Combine the kosher salt, coriander, cumin, chili powder, paprika, allspice, and black pepper in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
2. To use, rub 1 tablespoon per serving onto the meat of your choice before grilling or cooking as desired.

Just made these tonight and they will definitely be a repeat throughout the summer.
The only problem so far is trying to figure out a good bun to package it all.

-Pattied ground round cooked to your liking.  I suggest no more than medium.
-Sauteed onions and mushrooms.  I prefer sauteing in real butter as opposed to oil or butter substitute. Salt and pepper to taste.
-Bacon!  I mean, c'mon! What doesn't bacon make better!?
-Two slices of Pepper Jack cheese, one above and one below the patty.
-Grill the bun.  I used Aunt Millie's tonight, but a burger of this magnitude deserves something better.
-Top the whole she-bang with a fried egg.  Over easy is better if you don't mind getting a little messy.
-Add veggies if you like, but remember, less is more!

Trust me when I say, this is not an ordinary burger, my friends.  This is what every burger aspires to be.  This is a burger that can stand toe to toe with a steak, look it in the eye and say "You feeling lucky...punk?"

If you're feeling really adventurous, serve these with home-made potato chips.
Dessert tonight was strawberry shortcake. I use Angel Food Cake.

Being from Iowa, this weekend smoked a variety of ribs (baby back and country style) with cherry wood.  Man they needed no saucin'

[jinx]

Veggies.  Peppers, all colors, zuchinni, squash, asparagus, onion, potato all tossed with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, bay leaf and whatever spices I think sound good.  Wrap it in tin foil and drop it on the grill.  I could make a meal out of just this.

You just made my little vegetarian heart go pitter-pat.  I -love- grilled veggies, and the leftovers make amazing soups.  Vegetable broth + leftover grilled veggies.  Easiest thing evar, and DELICIOUS.

Children lightly basted in a garlic butter sauce. The younger, the better.

I admit it.  I giggled a little.  But my "big brother" also happens to be the Unofficial All-Australian Master of dead baby jokes, so the first thing that popped into my head when I saw the thread was "BABIES!"    ((Not seriously, though.  I like children, and I -am- a vegetarian, after all.))

It's very funny this thread came back when it did, I'm just picking up my new grill tonight.  First thing I'll make on it...chicken and veggies!

I do have two things to add.  Potatoes, sliced about a half inch thick, with a little oil on them, directly on the grill.  And halloumi (greek grilling cheese) right on the gril too, just not too hot.

What do I like to throw on the grill?

JUST KIDDING!
Everything!
Slice some zucchini length wise and spray some "I can't believe its not butter" on it, sprinkle with garlic salt and crushed black pepper
Thickly slice a green and a red bell pepper and throw on a sheet of foil with a pat of butter
Grill a chicken breast
Dice a fresh tomato
When all is done...chop everything into bite size pieces and serve over a bed of angel hair pasta.

Steak

[Seamus Ex Machina]

Carolina style BBQ!

Rub a pork butt with your favorite concoction.  Let stand in the fridge for about 24 hours.   On high heat, sear all sides.  Place in a pan, turn heat low, and smoke until it falls apart.

Pork is awesome.

[Master Benjamin]

Turn on low? sounds like you're using the stove not a grill. Only grill or BBQ with either real charcoal (not briquettes ie kingsford etc)or a good hardwood. If you want lotsa smoke add some green wood to the hot fire.
