Pork Souvlaki with TzatzikiIt wasn't until I went to Greece that I tasted pork souvlaki (kebab). I'd had lamb souvlaki at greek restaurants and festivals in the US, but never pork, While the pork is not quite as flavorful as lamb, it is healthy and so easy to make from a pork tenderloin or loin roast. In addition to the tzataki, we also served this with… |

Flavorful Grilled ShrimpThis is a classic grilled shrimp recipe originally from Craig Clairborne's NYT cookbook, then adapted by Ina Garten, and then finally perfected by me. :-) Seriously, this is a wonderful staple to have in your pantry of recipes. You can serve this over pasta (which we did the other night), as an appetizer with a variety of dipping… |

Asian Rib Eye Over Mixed Greens with Ginger DressingI loved the combination of the flavorful rib eye and mushrooms over the truly delicious Asian flavored greens. You'll be using the salad dressing recipe again I'd wager, with or without the rib eye. This would make a great dish for a BBQ party or just for a delicious and casual summer dinner. We had this at my father in law's in… |

Ginger Sesame SalmonThis is an outstanding asian-flavored salmon. It's a bit more interesting than your typical teriyaki salmon. Think of it as teriyaki salmon with a kick! I'm a huge fan of grilled salmon and I don't think it gets much better than this. |

I tried two last night (posted today) and plan to try more over the summer. The basic recipe is adapted from Cook's Illustrated (one of my favorite magazines). I brine the chicken for a… |

Cuban-style Steaks in Garlic-Lime MarinadeThese steaks are a treat and a great way to make an inexpensive cut of meat memorable. You can use bottom round (best), top round, or a thin cut sirloin for this dish. The steaks should be cut about a 1/2 thick. Mine were a little thicker, so I pounded them with a mallet to thin them. In Cuban restaurants, this recipe is called… |

Teriyaki Glazed Grilled SalmonThis is an excellent basic grilled salmon dish that i adapted from the Cook's Illustrated cookbook. Their recipe calls for maple syrup...which I don't keep on hand and just didn't sound right to me. I substituted a mix of oyster sauce and honey, which I think gives it a more traditional asian flavor than the maple syrup would.… |

Grilled Pork Chops with Caribbean Wet RubWe served these pork chops over black beans and rice. It was a great combination. We took the wet rub from a recipe for pork tenderloin in Cooks Illustrated. I'm not sure it's powerful enough for a tenderloin unless it's butterflied, but it was wonderful on the pork chops. Normally we brine our pork chops before putting on the rub.… |

Homemade Grilled FlatbreadI couldn't find any authentic pita bread or other flat bread at my local grocery store, so I decided to try grilling my own. It turned out to be really fun and not too difficult. And the taste was amazing. The hardest part was rolling out the dough (I doubled the recipe). Fortunately, I was able to do that while watching a playoff… |

Italian Steak SaladWe adapted this from a Giada De Laurentis recipe. It's simple, but incredibly delicious. Our kids powered through more than we imagined possible. No leftovers at all! The biggest change was serving the steak hot of the grill instead of chilled. That makes a huge positive difference I think...as the warm steak contrasts wonderfully… |

Flank Steak Marinated Asian-StyleThis was really simple and the steak came out incredibly tender. We bought a good quality flank steak - which helped. But I think that the marinading process may also have helped tenderize the meat. |

Grilled Tuna Steaks over Arugula SaladI adapted this recipe from one in Cook's Illustrated and served it during a trip to San Luis Obispo with friends. The vinaigrette was fantastic and the technique for marinating the fennel bulb slices in the vinaigrette to soften it is definitely a keeper. You could try this with just about any fish with good results I think. I… |

Simple Grilled Lamb ChopsLamb is my favorite meat. While I often enjoy rubbing it or marinating it in bold flavors, grilling it simply with mild herbs that enhance it's natural flavor is one of my all time favorites. For my birthday this year, we grilled some tasty lamb chops as described below. I adapted the recipe from one by Giada De Laurentiis. It's a… |

Roasted Chicken on the GrillThis is a beautiful dish that's big enough for a dinner party of 4 and makes for a great centerpiece over the holidays. The stuffing is optional, but I think it adds something to the presentation. It's really easy to make as well. |

Tarragon Grilled Chicken Fillets over SaladThis recipe is adapted from one in Steven Raichlen's BBQ USA, which he in turn borrowed from a restaurant in SOHO, Manhattan. The flattened and then grilled chicken was absolutely delicious. Almost unbeatable. The salad was a also very tasty, though we had to add a lot of extra greens to prevent the dressing from being too heavy. I've… |
