Well, I am now ready to begin this new blog for the "Ladies" in the household who are sometimes the real one behind the family barbecue dinners. Now, I understand not all of us like to grill but there are a good number of us females who do. However, have you ever noticed not one book on the subject of the female who barbecue. Even, the tools for the grill are meant for very large hands. So, I have decided to start this blog, talking about the different type of tools to use, sharing my recipes, use of different marinades, use of spices and anything else I can come up. I will be sharing with you not only Meat recipes but Grilling recipes and tips for Vegetables and Fish. I am also asking you to send to me your comments, questions and your recipes and I'll try them as well.
Sometimes, I am going to share some my non-barbecue recipes like "Pepper Jelly" and some of the different Salas's that I make and have given as gifts.
Please make note, this site is not just for the ladies, but also for the "Grill Man" in the family.
I am going to share with you one of the marinade's that gets rave reviews around our house. Try it and have the person who does your grilling in your family, grill as they normally do.
Tri-Tip Dry/Wet Marinade
4-5 Lb Tri-Tip
1/2 Bottle of Rasberry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce (or just plain Chipotle BB
Sauce
Pappy's Dry Seasoning
Barbecue Dry Seasoning
Directions: Sprinkle on fairly heavy the Dry Seasoning's on both sides of the Tri-tip (do not poke holes into the tri-tip). Put the tri-tip into a large Zip lock bag. Let marinade for about 4 hours in the Refrigerator. Add the Chipotle BBQ Sauce to the mixture, return to the refrigerator and marinade over night or 2 days if you wish.
Note: Take the marinated meat out of the refrigerator about 20-30 minutes before you are ready to put on the grill. Have found the meat to be more tender when finished than when I just take out of the refrigerator and put on to the grill. Normally, I apply this rule to steaks, roasts, tri-tip and thich pork chops.
Put the meat on the Grill and grill as you normally do. (In a future blog, I'll provide more information on grill times and such). Usually, I grill the meat under what I wish to have it be. I say this because the meat continues to cook after you take it off the grill until you are ready to slice it. And you always want to wait 2-3 minutes before you slice the meat. If the meat is too rare after you have sliced it, then put it into the microwave for about 20-30 seconds (at a med power level). I recommend this, because your meat will stay juicy and not be dried out.
As always, know the opinion's posted on this blog, our my personal opinions. And know there are very easy ways to use different marinades, spices and other things.
And do always have a little glass of wine with you (or a beer) while you grill. I grill not only in the summer but also in the winter months. It defintely makes the kitchen clean up a lot easier.
Happy Grilling and Hope you Enjoy.
