Tacos Al Carbon by John Spottiswood

This is a simple steak taco recipe that emphasizes the flavor of the meat and the grill. You can spice it up by adding extra cumin or a little chili powder, jalapeno, or cayenne if you like, but it is delicious as is. Make sure to chop any additional fixings you like: I used cilantro, avocado and tomato...but they are quite tasty…

Southwestern Green Chile Chicken by John Spottiswood

In mexico, they keep their chicken moist by grilling it underneath stones. In this recipe I've substituted foil covered bricks for stones. I got the idea from Steven Raichlen in his BBQ USA book. This is a technique used in New Mexico. I thought it added a little moisture. If you have time, it's worth it. And now that I have the…

New Mexican Red Chile Chicken by John Spottiswood

This recipe is very similar to the Southwestern Green Chile chicken I posted, but uses flavorful dried New Mexico chiles instead of fresh green chiles. Personally, I liked this version slightly better, but it was close. A mix of the two is ideal. I found ground New Mexican chile at the Safeway near us in part of the spice section…

Chili Lime Skirt Steak Fajitas by Robyn Medlin

While many people will make their fajitas with flank steak, Texans know that a fajita is only a fajita when made with skirt steak. In fact, the word “fajita” is a derivation of the…

Smokinhot's Bistro Style Steak Sandwich by Smokinhotchef

I love sandwiches. This recipe is a 3 course meal including soup all in one. Fresh mushrooms and onions make for super awesome steak accompaniments, while the potatoes and sliced pumpernickel provide the starch and complete the picture. French onion soup brings the whole ensemble together. Bursting with flavor and not skinny on…

Tantalizing Thai Grilled Chicken by Smokinhotchef

This recipe is full of amazing flavor components and can stand alone even at a dinner party! lots of cilantro and hints of fish and oyster sauces help to bring the effect full circle. Grilling this chicken really sends it over the top. I came up with a pasta to go with this chicken and together it's pure bliss, but feel free to mix…

Chinese Green Tea and Lemon Chicken by Smokinhotchef

I created a recipe using loose Chinese Green Tea and lemon as the primary flavor builder for grilled chicken leg quarters. The end product was a subtly flavored and citrus scented bird with lots of smoky infusion and a cacophonous blend of earthy tones. Using this tea as a marinade, helps to infuse the chicken with the boundless…

Great light dinner or lunch. Make sure to have some good crusty bread with it.
