I need some grilling recipes

[Symarip]

It's nice out today and I invited over some friends tonight. They suggested we grill. Problem is, I don't grill very often. I'm a slow cooker bbq kind of guy and everything I cook outside takes no less than 6 hours. I haven't grilled in probably 2 or 3 years. Can you lend me a decent recipe?

1. gas or charcoal

:shrug:

[Symarip]

3. Huh?

Charcoal!

[motely36]

31. OMG! I am an idiot!

:blush:

Of course I meant gas or charcoal!

2. This is something my husband could help you with.

He is a grilling machine. What do you have in mind?

[Symarip]

5. I don't know

Something that goes with beer.

[Bake]

7. Steak. It's what's for dinner.

Goes with beer. Here's what you do. Go to grocery/meat market. Buy nice thick NY strips. Start the grill. Put the steaks on the grill. Drink beer. Check the steaks at about 5-6 minutes, turn them over. Repeat as necessary. Drink more beer. About 20 - 25 minutes and you're done.

Bake

9. My husband does some kick ass drumsticks.

He also does a porkloin that basically melts in your mouth. I think with the loin, he seasons it up, wraps it in foil, and then lets it smoke for about an hour or so. And you don't need a smoker to do it. Also if you buy some corn still in the husks and put them on the grill for a little while, OMG some kinda good.

[Symarip]

12. That's closer to bbq

I don't have the real estate on the grill for indirect heating something as big as a loin. Why does he wrap it in foil? That's odd.

[Shell Beau]

15. He doesn't wrap a tenderloin in foil only a loin.

It seems to make it more moist. He doesn't always do it. He experiments a lot on the grill. Never once has there been a flub. We have a huge handmade grill so I guess it is easier for us to use indirect heat.

If you want to do steaks, that is the easiest. We don't even season ours. If you have a good enough cut of meat, it doesn't need to be marinated.

[Symarip]

20. Has he ever used a Weber Smokey Mountain cooker?

If he likes to grill and uses indirect heat, it's a real easy jump to the WSM. And it's relatively easy to use. It'd make a great gift.

[Shell Beau]

27. His dad built him this grill. It can't even be picked up it is so heavy.

It took 3 men to move it to my house. Someone offered us $700 for it.



I got a pic of it while getting the snow. We do have a Weber that we had before his dad gave him this one. I don't think it was the kind you are referring to though.

11. cans or bottles?

this is getting good.... :popcorn:

[Symarip]

13. I'm pretty snooty when it comes to beer

I'm a big fan of microbrewed ales (mostly porters, but stouts and browns are good) in bottles. But... I will party down with some PBR ice cold in the can, if I'm in a pinch.

[3.14158675309]

14. Bud in a bottle is good, too

Just ask taterguy.... :hide:

[Symarip]

16. Sure it is

Right next to a tangerine colored Weber.

[3.14158675309]

18. Bingo.

:rofl: :hi:

4. Tandoori Chicken

Pound out some chicken breasts. Then mix some plain yogurt, curry powder, cayenne pepper to taste, garlic powder, paprika and some fresh lime juice together. Let chicken marinate in this as long a possible. Throw it on the grill you you've got a tasty entree. Serve with Basmati rice and a salad.

6. Cedar plank tilapia

Cedar planks are easy to find...even my local Safeway has them at the meat counter. I marinate the tilapia for about 30 minutes in Newman's Own Light Italian Dressing with Lemon.

This is an actual photo from my grill of the recipe in question:



Soak the cedar plank well - ideally at least a few hours, but the longer the better. Set up the grill for direct grilling on medium-high. When ready to cook, place the plank on the hot grate and leave it until there is a smell of smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the plank over and place the fish on top. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 135 degrees. Check the plank occasionally - if the edges start to catch fire, mist with water, or move the plank to a cooler part of the grill. Cooking time will probably be about 20-25 minutes.

:toast:

[Symarip]

17. That looks great

I don't think I'll have the hours to marinate it, though.

8. Porkgasm?

[AlCzervik]

10. tri tip.

[Inchworm]

19. I acquired a taste for grilled oranges

Others will give you good main grill stuffs, but you gotta try just tossing a few oranges on the rack.

It may add to what beer you are having too.

:9

[Symarip]

21. Peeled?

This sounds interesting

[Inchworm]

25. Yup

peeled. Actually I liked them with pepper on them. It's just an interesting taste that accompanies the usual bevarages drank while grilling :D

:hi:

[Symarip]

26. 10-4

That sounds completely badass for some reason.

[AlCzervik]

29. have you tried grilling peaches?

delicious!

[Symarip]

34. As much as my fat ass loves food

I'm not a big peach fan. I know. I'm weird.

[AlCzervik]

38. plums are also good grilled, does your fat ass like those?

i'm not a big fan of peaches unless they're grilled which sounds weird but they just taste much better that way.

[Symarip]

39. My fat ass hasn't had plums in quite some time

I might buy a peach for experimental purposes.

[AlCzervik]

42. give a try and if you feel like it you can take some balsamic vinegar and cook it down until

it's really thick and use it to drizzle over the peaches. Again, sounds weird but it's tasty.

[Symarip]

43. I probably won't have time to boil down anything

I'm writing this down, though, for later use.

[AlCzervik]

44. check your pm.

[Inchworm]

40. Yea baby!

I found most fruit turns yummy grilled.

Grapefruit was the least favorite that I tried and yet it was yummy!

:D

[AlCzervik]

41. oh i'll try that, i hate grapefruit but maybe on the grill it'll taste good.

[guitar man]

22. Do some steaks

and shrimp kabobs! :thumbsup:

[Symarip]

24. Shrimp Kabobs

GOOD IDEA!!! Didn't even cross my mind. Thanks, dude.

[guitar man]

30. ur welcome :)

I like to baste them with butter and lemon pepper while they're grilling.

[Symarip]

33. Yeah man

I'm all about that. Quick. Easy. Small real estate.

[geardaddy]

23. Tiger shrimp

:thumbsup:

28. If you're making steaks:

rub a little brown sugar on them before adding your favorite grilling spices. It gives them a wonderful carmelizing as they cook.

[Symarip]

32. I've read contrary

Grilling burns sugar. To have sugar carmelize, I could swear you should apply at the very end and try to avoid direct heat for proper carmelization.

[Rosie1223]

35. Well, I think it's very tasty

to each his own.

[AlCzervik]

36. same thing with most bottled bbq sauces as well.

my husband used to do the grilling and everything was charred on the outside and raw in the middle.

[DS1]

37. 2 whole lemons, sliced

salt
pepper
FUCKING NARWHAL STEAKS WITH NARWHAL UNICORN KEBAB STICKS
FUCK YEAH
