OK, here's your chance to boast about your bbq'ing skills. I'm looking for quick & easy recipes for our summer bbq meals. Bring it on...let's hear about your steaks, ribs, chicken and whatever else you cook on the grill.

Thanks,

 

Boy I could talk about this topic all day! I love to cook "OUTSIDE"

If you have a side burner breakfast is a great meal to cook outside on the grill! You can put pans right on the grate and do home fries and bacon and do eggs to order on the side burner!

Cook sweet corn right in the husks on high heat. Just becarefull when you take the husks off very hot! but oh so tasty!

Marinate chicken parts in pineapple juice, soy sauce and water over night then grill or and old family favorite is to marinate with italian dressing, regular has the best flavor but can cause flare ups. If you can marinate overnight use light or fat free the taste once grilled is the same!

use a large cast iron skillet directly on the grate to cook pork chops so they don't dry out.

if you use a gas grill get a smoker box or use an old small cast iron pan for the wood chips

I could go on and on! please feel free to email me if you have any questions!

have fun-

 

Try grilling some Bratwurst. I don't think I spelled it correctly. My Dad made some yesterday on the BBQ grille and they were delicious! That was the first time I tried it. Just keep rolling them around on the grille about a 1/4 turn every 30 seconds until they get done. Try it. I know you'll like it. BBQ ribs and steaks are good too. Be sure to put a piece of aluminum foil on your grille and punch a bunch of holes in it with a fork. It keeps the food from falling through the spaces of the grille rails.

 

Joe W. - Before grilling Bratwurst I boil them in beer for about 20 minutes first. Just did this last night. Tastes great (less filling). I know, some will say this is a waste of beer, but I don't drink anyway. Good Luck.

 

boil your ribs in spices and water for about 15 minutes. then throw ,em on and add the sause. the meat falls right off

 

Bratwurst & beer? I could'nt waste beer like that. I'd rather bbq the bratwurst and drink cold beer out of a longneck bottle. I don't drink much either, just everynowandthen. But when I do drink, lookout! I chug it like someone's trying to take it away from me. Enough about the beer stories. Another good thing to cook on the grille is shrimp. Try marinating the shrimp with some Tequilla. Now dat's goood!

 

Habibi's world famous BBQ Steaks.

What you need:

Your favourite type of steak
Montreal Steak Spice (or whatever you prefer
2 large bottles of your favourite BBQ sauce

This recipe takes a cheap cut of meat and makes it oh so tasty.
It's a good way to make blade steaks and such taste delicious.
I tend to use T-bones, or porterhouses because if it makes a poor cut of meat tase good, imagine what it will do for the good stuff.

1) Fire up the grill and put it on the hottest setting and close the hood

2) In a saucepan, empty 2 bottles of BBQ sause, and bring it to a boil on the stove, then set to simmer.

3) Place your steaks on a plate and season both sides with steak spice (This is optional, it still tastes good without spice)

Place steaks on scalding hot BBQ, and seer each side for approx 90 seconds. Leave the hood open, and keep the heat on max high.

Once each side is seered, remove from grill and place on plate.
The outside of each steak should have lines on it now from the grill. (This locks the juices in)

Drop your steaks into the saucepan you have simmering on the stove, and simmer each side for 3 mintes. (Remember to flip them over after 3 minutes)

Also, make sure there is enough sauce in the pan to completly cover the meat.

Once this is done, place them back on the hot grill until the sauce starts to carmelize. I leave the hood up, and cook each side for 2 or 3 minutes, or until the outside looks crispy and well barbecued.

Maintain the heat on HIGH

Then it's time to enjoy.

Bon Appetite

These all sound great. I'm definately going to try these. Keep 'em coming.

hcmq took mine about the chicken and italian dressing. I soaked mine in regular for about 2 hrs and made a great meal. Even cut some up and put in the best ceaser salad I have ever had.

For steak and chops I have two things
Tenderize meat and uses a little of the sprinkle on stuff
Mix enough soy sauce, woshester shire suace, and water (or beer) to cover meat, adding hickory smoke flavor is good too. Marinate, longer the better, cook as regualr

Mccomicks spices has a new grillen glaze out that is great
Just tenderize the meat, grill and when almost done, lightly cover steaks and let it carmelize on. Cheap, quick, and good.

As a great side dish
Try taking fresh hole mushrooms, clean them under tap water.
In a microwave melt butter with quite a bit of salt, pepper, and garlic ( salt or powder).
Place mushrooms and and sauce in large zip-loc baggie, shake up well and place in fridge
Start your grill ( i use charcoal so it takes a while)
Once your main meat is done either make a tray from aluminium foil or cover entire grill surface and dump the mushrooms on the foil. Use a little of the juice from the bag but not a lot and just keep moving them so they do not stick.

You can also cut the mushrooms up, place in a foil package with lots of butter and salt and just throw the whole thing on the grill.
Do the same with cut-up potatoes except use some Crisco instead of butter.

 

1st tip.......move to down here to Texas. thats all i have to say because if i tell more my family will kill me for telling

 

RIBS TO DIE FOR

1) Use ONLY pork baby back ribs

2) Cut em into triples (three ribs per piece)

3) Boil them for 90 minutes

4) Drain & carefully cut them into individual ribs when cool

5) Put em on the upper rack of your gas grille

6) Use a wooden stick that you've made to hold the lid open about 5" or so and grill under low heat, but don't let them dry-out

7) For the last ten minutes or so, baste them with regular Open Pit, and then Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce, then OP, then CB's, constantly flipping them and alternating the two sauces until they start to blacken a little

*) The meat just falls off, they're coated with sauce all around. and everybody that's had em says they're dynamite!
Country Bob's is the secret, it's made in southern Illinois and is hard to find. It's great spread on hamburgers and chicken just before they're done cooking.

Good luck.
