Thursday's Juciy Tips

Easy Herb Brush -

For an impromptu sauce brush, tie together a handful of long sprigs of thyme with kitchen twine. Use the herb brush to impart a hint of thyme flavor to poultry and/or meat as you baste. When done, give the brush a quick rinse in warm water; then toss it on the coals for a burst of aromatic smoke.

Wednesday's What's for Dinner

Barbecued Steak Wrap-Ups With Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce

This marinade can be whipped up in a dash and serves to tenderize the flank steak. The crowning touch — a drizzle of sweet and smoky barbecue sauce.





Marinade -
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup red wine
1/4 cup olive or canola oil
2 pounds flank steak, trimmed of fat
1/3 cup Stonewall Kitchen Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce

For Serving -
Flat bread or thick tortillas, warmed in tin foil over the grill
Cilantro leaves
Grilled onions

Directions -

In a small bowl, combine marinade ingredients. Place the flank steak in a shallow non-reactive baking dish and pour marinade over the steak. Turn the steak to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Prepare a charcoal or gas fire. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry and discard marinade. Grill the steak to desired doneness, approximately 5-6 minutes per side for medium rare, brushing each side with Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce. Allow the steak to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This helps keep the meat tender and succulent. Cut thin slices of steak against the grain and at an angle. Serve flank steak rolled up in a piece of warmed flat bread, with a spoonful of grilled onions, sprinkling of cilantro leaves and a final drizzle of Maple Chipotle Grille Sauce.

Tuesday's Smokin' Finds

Fire Wire Flexible Grilling Skewers:
A simple adaptation of the traditional skewer makes kabob grilling so much easier! The flexible stainless steel skewers bend easily to fit inside a bag or bowl for marinating. They hold more than twice as much food as a regular skewer, maximizing space on the grilling surface. The skewer tips stay cool-to-touch during grilling allowing food to be turned over or removed from the grill with ease.
