Is broiling the next best to grilling? I don't have a grill but I keep finding so many recipes for the grill.

Answer 1

If you don't have a grill it's ok to broiling. But you can't put down broiling, just gotta know how to do it right. I suggest a good way to do so is place your fave dressing on your thin cut marinated meat (thin because a broiler is high heat and will cook your meat fast, so if it is think the outside will burn before the inside is ready), and place it on a baking dish to catch the juice. Pre-heat the broiler, so that once you put your meat in, it's sears the outside to create a crispy skin and locks in the juice. For thick meat, after the above process lower your oven temp to cook the inside and your done.

Answer 2

yes, also you can add a drop of liquid smoke to the recipies:

here is a good one:

LONDON BROIL
Servings: 8 (5 1/2 oz. each)

4 lbs (2 large) flank steaks
FOR THE MARINADE (makes about 5 1/2 cups):
16 oz (2 cups) salad oil
8 oz (1 cup) soy sauce
8 oz (1 cup) Worcestershire sauce
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sesame seeds
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 tsp dry mustard

MARINADE INSTRUCTIONS:
Combine all ingredients for marinade; blend together well. Place flank steak into marinade. Use small enough container to allow flank steak to be completely covered by marinade. Marinade 24 hours minimum and not more than 4 days or flavor of the meat will be overpowered by marinade

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat grill to 360 degrees F for 1/2 hour.

Drain marinade from meat. Reserve marinade up to two weeks if needed.

Grill flank steak to medium rare. This will take approximately 10 minutes cooking time total. Hold cooked flank steak in warmer if necessary.

Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Slice cooked flank steak at 30 degree angle 1/8-inch thick slices: This is essential to keep flank steak tender.

Answer 3

If it is steaks that you want to cook and you don't have a grill, the best way to cook it is to sear it first in a hot cast iron pan for about a minuted on each side, it is important not to move it while it is searing - once it is seared it won't stick to the pan anymore.

After you sear it first, then put it in the broiler and will be nice and juicey and have a nice brown from the sear.

Make sure you have a good fan in the kitchen because searing a steak in a cast iron pan will get very smoky.

Don't try this in a teflon coated pan.

Answer 4

Get a Foreman grill or an indoor grill pan or even a small hibachi.

Answer 5

Grilling is much better. Gives it that charcoal flavor.

Walmart sells a charcoal grill for $29.95 with side tables and a stand with wheels.

Answer 6

Yes. When the gas is out in my grill, I always bake the stuff in the oven.

Answer 7

yes this is a good substitute for grilling, however you may need to place foil over meats to keep them from drying out or burning

Answer 8

There is no substitute for grilling.
