Favorite Grill Recipes

[Duane]

I'm having the family over this weekend for our first official BBQ/Party since we bought the house in May.

Does anyone have any good/simple recipes for the grill?

As far as items I'm thinking burgers, chicken and corn since that will give everyone something they like.

I love grilling

Here's my simple recipe:

ground chuck beef
blue cheese crumbles
chives
salt/pepper

1) mix all of those ingredients together in a big bowl (into a big ball basically)
2) let it sit in the fridge for a couple of hours to bind together
3) bring it out and form the patties
4) let them sit until room temperature
5) grill them
6) praise me.

You've gotta go with grilled watermelon.

Apply olive oil to a wedge, slap it on an extremely hot grill, give it 45 seconds or so, flip then kosher salt while still warm. Chili powder is a decent add if you're feeling a little adventurous.

Go to the store and buy Feista Steak Seasoning.

I put this on my steaks and on my burgers. It freaking owns! It has monosodium glutamate in it, so don't eat it everyday!

I have to have my sister back in Texas ship me several at a time about once a year. Once you get this and put it on burgers and steaks you will be forever in debt to me! :laugh2:

I will be ready to collect!

Grilled asparagus will impress them and is really tasty.

Steam the asparagus for 4 minutes
Remove from steam and dunk in an ice bath to stop the cooking.
Remove from ice bath and pat dry.
Toss in a bowl with olive oil some salt and pepper and garlic powder or garlic salt.
Put it on the grill directly over the flames for a couple of minutes, turning often as it chars quickly.
Remove and serve.

It's important to steam it beforehand to make sure it is cooked all the way through. If you try to cook it on the grill it will burn on the outside before it's done on the inside. The ice bath stops the cooking and prevents it from getting too mushy.

I used to never eat asparagus, then one day I was at this steakhouse and they served asparagus that was cooked in a butter and garlic herb sauce and I decided to try it. Every time I go back, I order a side of it.

That's good stuff and I like Tex Joy steak seasoning as well.

Steak, salt and butter.

If you don't buy a cheap steak, it doesn't need much else.

We just moved in and have a lot of expenses so no one is getting steak.

...Thanks for the recipes. I'll have to look into a few of these.

You can always do this.

Fiesta hamburger seasoning is much better on burgers.

 

[CowboyDan]

Here's a simple favorite of mine......

Add salsa to your burger patties as you make them. It's simple, yet effective. You control the heat and flavor depending on what type of salsa you use and how much you put in. If you're feeling really daring, add some Ancho Chile Powder and top them with some cheddar cheese and onions. Yum.

If you're doing chicken, be sure to brush it with canola oil and salt and pepper on both sides before you put it on the grill. It will prevent it from sticking and help form a nice crust. (I do this with everything I grill and it works great)

I will have to get my sis to find that and send me some so I can try it. The steak one is good on burgers too.

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Cajun-Lime Corn On The Cob
10 ears corn, husked and cleaned
Your favorite Cajun seasoning
1/4 Cup mayo
Juice from 1 large lime
salt and black pepper to taste
1 package thick sliced bacon
10 sheets aluminum foil, cut just large enough to fit each individual ear.

1. Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
2. Whisk together the mayo and lime juice to make a smooth paste.
3. Brush each ear of corn with mayo/lime, coating evenly but not heavily.
4. Dust each ear of corn liberally with Cajun seasoning, salt/pepper and wrap each ear with 2 slices of bacon. Cover the ear as completely as possible. (A big ear might need 3 pieces of bacon.)
5. Wrap the ears in aluminum foil, twisting the ends tightly to seal.
6. Place the wrapped corn on the preheated grill, and grill on high heat about 10 minutes, turning once.
7. Turn the heat to medium-low, and grill an additional 15-20 minutes, turning once or twice.
8. Remove the corn from the grill and place on a large cookiesheet. Cut away the foil.
9. Return the ears to a medium-hot grill, turning often, to crisp the bacon. This should take no more than 5-10 minutes but you need to not leave the corn unattended, as it will burn easily at this point.
10. Prepare to eat... EAT!

It has monosodium glutamate in it,

I use Fiesta products occasionally for beans, to add to rubs or as just a sprinkle on various proteins for a quick enhancement before cooking. But any of their products that contain MSG, I steer clear of like the plague.

It's simply an unnecessary ingredient and wholly used to make-up for the inferior taste and quality of the product it's added to.

I knew you would show up with a gem. I'll try this sometime.

I paid a butt-load of $$$, and a bucket-load of sweat to learn those "gems" brother. :laugh2:
