Good things to make on the BBQ?

Question

I just bought a new bbq...what are some good recipes to grill up on the bbq? Thanks!

Answer 1

We love to grill steaks, boneless chicken breasts, pork chops and burgers. Most of the recipes we use recommend grilling these over a direct-medium fire (350°F to 375°F) on a covered grill.

For grilling times, you might want to try the cookout calculator at charcoalbob.com. It will give you grilling times and instructions so that everything comes off the grill at the same time, grilled just the way you want it. It also adjusts grilling times depending on if your new grill is gas or charcoal.

We always allow things like steaks and pork chops to stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling, and allow all grilled foods to rest for 5 minutes after grilling to keep them nice and juicy.

Enjoy your new grill!

Answer 2

Balsamic Marinated Flank Steak

2 lbs flank steak
1 cup balsamic vinagaret dressing
1 gallon size plastic back

put steak in bag and pour marinade over steak. It's best to do it over night because flank steak can be tough.
If you don't have that much time, then about and hour will do.

Put meat on the grill for about 8 minutes a side for medium "doneness". Slice meat against the grain and serve with a side of red potatoes and a salad.

Answer 3

This one is awesome but make sure the cajun seasoning has no salt or it will be too salty.

Spicy Cajun Grilled Shrimp, Fish, Pork, or Chicken

1/3 cup soy sauce or Kikoman Teriyaki Marinade
½ cup virgin olive oil
1 to 5 tbs cajun seasoning mix (without salt), depending on how hot you like it
¼ cup sesame oil
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbs fresh ginger
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp tabasco
32 large fresh uncooked shrimp (no shells, with or without tails and de-veined)
Bamboo skewers (1 for about 5 shrimp)

Add shrimp to marinade for 20-30 minutes. Soak skewers in water. When shrimp is ready put on skewers and barbeque on high heat for about 2 minutes per side.

This is an excellent marinade for fish and chicken, you can cook whole and omit the skewers and grill or make kabobs.

Answer 4

BEST BBQ GRILLED RIBS (SIMPLE)

2 racks of ribs
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1 bottle honey bbq sauce
water
1/8 cup olive oil
aluminum foil
grill

Start off by placing ribs in a glass casserole dish, rub with oil and then with salt and pepper. Now flatten ribs as much as possible and add water just to barely cover them. Ribs racks may be cut in half if needed).

Simmer in oven for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or just until tender; (don'’t try to cook them too fast or they will become tough).

When ribs are finished in the oven, drain them, start grill on medium and allow to heat.

Cover with foil and brush (or pour) on just a small amount of oil to keep ribs from sticking/burning. Brush on first layer of bbq sauce after draining.

Once grill is heated, place ribs on grill. Cook covered for 5-10 minutes, then brush on bbq sauce. Grill another 5-10 minutes, keep adding bbq sauce until there is a thick layer of bbq sauce.

If ribs become somewhat dark, that's ok; the bbq sauce tastes better cooked than raw. When bbq sauce is all gone, the ribs are almost done.

Grill 5 more minutes to finish cooking bbq sauce, then serve. If they stick a little it is ok, that is what the oil and foil is for!!

grilled "barbecue" beef
3 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder (not pure)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 (1 1/4 -pound) flatiron steak (1 inch thick; also called boneless chuck top blade steak)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
5 tablespoons water
Preparation
Stir together brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper, and mustard in a bowl. Pat steak dry and rub all over with 2 tablespoons spice mixture. Reserve remainder for sauce. Marinate steak at room temperature while making sauce.

Cook onion in oil in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and reserved spice mixture and bring to a boil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and cover, then simmer until onions are very tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a blender and purée with water (use caution with hot liquids) until very smooth (add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary), then transfer to a bowl.

Meanwhile, preheat gas grill burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately high.

Oil grill rack, then grill steak, covered, 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Brush steak all over with some of sauce and grill 30 seconds per side.

Transfer to a cutting board and let stand 5 minutes. Cut steak into thin slices and serve with remaining sauce.

Cooks' note: Steak can be cooked in a lightly oiled well-seasoned large ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
