.... is upon us and I'm checking out everyone's fav grillin' ideas. I get so tired of the burger/steak/pork ribs routine........ what's some of the favs around here?

 

It's about the same here.
Occasionally, I'll throw some dogs on.

 

Turkey breast cooked over indirect heat. Cook skin side up and baste with vegetable oil every once and in a while. Great smokey flavor.

 

I prefer a nice big steak, about medium rare. Of course, violated chicken (aka drunk chicken) is pretty good too. For those who don't know violated chicken, drink half of a can of beer, chop up some jalapenos, onion, and add any other spices you may want and put into the beer can, stuff the beer can into the chicken (hence "violated") and sit upright on the grill. Cook until done and you'll have some of the best chicken you've ever had.

Oh yeah, can't forget a good grilled pork loin, ribs, brisket...awww hell, now I can't decide and I'm hungry! Thanks a lot Donny!

 

Ah - I can't wait to assemble my new grill!

Ditched the gas grill in favor of the flavor of a Weber charcoal grill. Being on the east coast and having a friend in the fishing industry, there are a few seafood dishes that come to mind:

Swordfish on the grill - squeeze a fresh lemon wedge over it and cover with mayonese (it sounds gross but it cooks off). Grill 3-4 minutes (high flame/heat) to seer the fish on each side. Serve immediately. The trick to any fish is to not overcook it. It gets dry and tastes like garbage if overcooked, which is easily done.

Tuna on the grill - Same as the Sword, but no mayo. Depending on the cut, you may have to grill it a bit longer but no more that 7-8 minutes per side.

Corn on the Cob - I just throw them on. The corn husk keeps them moist and flavorful. Peel back the husk to see a little steam, thats when they're done.

Veggies on the grill - Get a deep pan (metal) that you don't mind getting drity (wrecking). Cut up some onion, peppers, summer squash, and potatoes. Salt and pepper to taste with plenty of olive oil covering them. Stick in ther oven for 1/2 hr on 350 then put it right on the grill. Let the onions carmalize. Total cook time is about an hour.

 

Ok, here's my deer tenderloin mariate recipe:

heat 1/2c white wine (beer is also good), 1/2c game tame (get it at meijer) and 1/2c (not packed) brown sugar. Do not let it boil. Stir until it is not granular.

Then turn heat off.

Add 1 tb garlic powder, and onion powder
1/2 tsp of salt
2 tbs pepper
1/2 cup kc terriaky marinate
1/2 c your favorite barbique sauce.

slice your steaks about 3/4-1" thick. submerge in the marinate and put in refrig over night.

cook em the way you like. Leave some red in the center for best eating.

for the winter, this is great broiled.

Ummmm... steak. Dat sho am good.

My family went to the park yesterday. We just had some grilled hot dogs, and baked beans, but I can't wait for the bbq ribs next time!

 

I use a Holland grill. It has a metal plate between the flame and the grill surface, so it functions almost like an oven/smoker. One of my signature dishes is whole pork tenderloin coated with season salt and Roasted Garlic Montreal Chicken spice. I leave it on for 50-55 minutes. It is mouth-watering.

 

What time are we eating? That sounds delicious

 

1/2 ground deer meat 1/4 ground sausage 1/4 ground beef diced onions and some seasoning salt make a hell of a burger

 

I don't have any fancy recipies but my friends and I love to grill. All Summer long we grill and drink beer. We either do this at the municipal airport (friends are pilots) or off four-wheeling on the local trails. Definately a BBQ Summer. We usually eat whatever we grab at the grocery before we head out.

 

Grilling season? Thats all year long! I love my big covered deck.

Steak fahitas, cook the peppers on there too, warm the shells on it. Great.

There again I have a griddle with mine and even do pancakes on it in the summer for breakfast. Dont think I cook in the house much after April.

Oh and of course, lots of beer, have a fridge out on the deck too just for it. Now if it would just warm up here.


Sled...

 

McCormick makes the best stuff man! If you like that, try the broiled steak seasoning. I put it on EVERYTHING!

I agree - the Montreal Steak seasoning and Montreal Chicken seasoning are great. If mixed with a good beer, it makes a great marinade too!

 

I get a large mixing bowl.
Into it I mix equal parts of Texas Pete, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Soy Sauce.
(usually a cup of each)
I sprinkle in a teaspoon or more of garlic powder.

Then I get some large shrimp and peel them before cooking. As you peel them, drop them in the mixture and let them begin marinating. When you're finished peeling, drag them out of the bowl and stick'em on the grill for a couple of minutes each side. It's always best to sample a few to be sure they're cooked okay. This recipe is also great with chicken strips.

I use one of those flat cooking baskets to keep all the shrimp or chicken together, and it makes it easier to flip them.
