Unfortunately, it's our guest room! And, it's in dire need of a clear-out since we're expecting guests when the craziness is past! And, a few of my favorite grill recipes:
Marinated Grilled Beef (Bulgogi)
Bulgogi is one of the best-known Korean foods. This version is prepared and grilled whole, then sliced.
1 ½ lbs. of beef (Flank, Sirloin, Tri Tip, whatever you prefer)
6 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 Tbl. Soy sauce
3 Tbl. Finely chopped peeled gingerroot (minced from a jar works also)
1 Tbl. Rice or cider vinegar
2 tsp. toasted sesame seeds
1 ½ tsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. sugar
Generous grinding of black pepper
Score steak deeply about 1in. apart. Turn over and score other side (is ok if meat breaks into 2 or 3 pieces).
In a shallow dish (or gallon ziplock), combine remaining ingredients. Add the steak and turn to coat with marinade. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours (I’ve let it marinate overnight as well), turning from time to time.
Grill to desired doneness. Slice into thin strips and serve at once. Suggested sides: crisp-tender steamed broccoli and Jasmine rice w/garlic, chicken broth and cilantro.
Grilled Peaches & Berries
3 ripe medium-sized peaches, halved & pitted
1 cup fresh blueberries
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. butter
1 T. lemon juice
Place peach halves cut side up, top with blueberries, brown sugar, butter, and lemon juice.
Grill, covered, over medium-low heat for 18-20 or until tender.
We like this served over vanilla ice cream.
Recipe is for grilling in foil packets, but I prefer to avoid the foil and use cast iron on BBQ or oven.
