okay summer is almost upon, " get those grills a running"

anyone have any good grilling/ marinade recipes?

hot and spicey would be good but also ones my kids would like ... anyone anyone Buhler Buhler.

 

I am also going to take an interest in this thread as I have taken a new lease on grilling when I purchased my new smoky joe a few weeks ago and recently recieved a bigger stand up charcoal grill as an early birthday present. My contribution from experimenting the last couple weeks:

For a quick, spur of the moment marinade and an excellant replacement for standard BBQ sauce, Lawrys Baja Chipotle marinade works wonders. I also have experimented with smoking chips and have grown to like Jack Daniels smoking chips. I always used to just buy the cheapest charcoal and BBQ sauce and just grill away till burnt, but now that is starting to change, it is becoming sort of a hobby/obsession of sorts.

 

Dale's Steak Sauce

 

marinated some t bones in A1 and coors light. They were Awesome

 

My forte is the sides, slice zucchini lengthways 1/4" thick spray with olive oil and sprinkle with Cavenders (Greek seasoning found at wal mart) also do bell pepper, okra, corn on the cobb, for potatoes and onion microwave until almost done than finish on the grill with Cavenders.
As for the meat! I kill it and lightly grill it, just branding iron marks on both sides, maybe a dash of Mediterranean sea salt.

 

Sorry, I don't marinade meat.
Alberta Beef is raised so one will enjoy the taste of the meat and not the stuff that changes the taste.


I can search for previous posts about grilling recipes for you though

Let steak sit in mix, four hours on each side, then grill on low heat.

 

President's choice memories of Kobe sauce.
Treat it like a seasoning rather than a marinade on your steaks. Brush a little bit on about two minutes before it hits the grill.

 

Good stuff zlla,

I use that in my stir-fry's.

 

32oz of Heinz ketchup
1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
about 1/2 cup of molasses
I guess a small handful of brown sugar
about 1 Tbsp of:
garlic powder
onion powder
chipotle chile pepper powder
ground clove
allspice
mace
salt
pepper

couple of squirts of:
liquid smoke
worcestor sauce
soy sauce

a dash (this is how much worked in mine) of REALLY hot habanero sauce. I think it was called tropical sauce company or something, and it was XXXXTRA HOT on the label. It was extremely hot, but actually does have a good pepper flavor to it. Even if you don't make the sauce, but like hot things, you should pick it up.

1 sweet onion
1 1/2 granny smith apples

Put the liquid ingredients in a pan and bring it to a boil, putting in the vinegar slowly. Lower the heat, simmer it, and put in your dry ingredients. Let it simmer for a a few minutes, then put in slices of apple and onion and let it simmer for at least two hours. Scoop out the apples and onions and let it simmer a bit more. At this point, you should be tasting and adding as desired. NOTE: I noticed mine tasted a bit funny at this point, and I thought I wasted a lot of time...it was almost chalkyish...trust me, don't worry. Towards the end, start putting in the hot sauce. ANOTHER NOTE: I know some people like a lot of hot sauce, but this sauce was pretty sweet tasting, and the hot just works as an opposing flavor, I didn't want the hot flavor to take over though; mine worked out better this way. Put it in a container to breathe and cool off on the counter top, prefferrably glass, maybe even a sealing mason jar. After some time of this, all while stirring occasionally, put it in the fridge. You can taste it all you want, but mine still didn't taste right at this point...but it blew my doors off in the morning. I suggest rolling up some burgers and tossing them on a grill. If you have a smoker, this may even work out a lot better, for the sauce and the burgers.

Like I said, I'm not 100% on the ingredients, nor do I think I remembered all of them (I'll check and edit if I missed some or messed something up), I'm going off the top of my head here. This was only the second time I made sauce, but this stuff was amazing, sweet and hot. Everything can be bought at Acme too, which is where I originally found the hot sauce and liquid smoke.

 

Oh Yeah! My brother had a killer recipe of beer, A1, and tabasco. Best on chicken or anything that tastes like it like 'gator, dog, cat, the neighbor's kid.

I'm with Mil1ion on this. Nothing before or during the grilling but when it's on the plate A-1 or Heinz 57.
