So the wonderful mid-60's we have been having here in South East Idaho make one thing happen above all else in my home...
Bar-B-Que
My husband decided when he was single and bought his first home (that I moved into following our nuptials a year later) he needed to get himself a house warming gift. A $650 grill. Any one else have this happen? All I could think about is how he did not have any curtains up...
But he is pretty handy with it and he truly feels like a Man's Man when he uses it. I even got him a apron and towel to clip to the grill in the theme of his favorite team: the Cleveland Browns. (It was for Christmas and at first he hated the apron because it was "girly")
He is the King of Marinades. And I informed him last week sometime that I had thawed out T-Bone steaks. (A luxury yes, but we split a half of beef with a friend last year and it was a part of it... a half of beef is a half of a cow we bought)
His basic marinade start like this:
Olive Oil
White Distilled Vinegar
A few drops of Soy Sauce
Tablespoon of Worchester
Chopped Garlic Cloves
And then a variety of spices per your taste buds. We like Smoked Apple-wood Sea Salt (Found Here), Pepper, a Costco BBQ mix and so on.
Look at those grill marks!
There are no specific measurements. He eye balls it until he feels there is enough to coat the steaks and then sit in it. Not submerge, the vinegar makes the flavor soak into meat. Just enough to come up the sides a bit of the meat. Make sure to rub it in allover before letting it sit for an hour or two.
This can be used for pork, chicken and in a rare occasion per taste, fish.
Happy BBQ-ing this summer and I hope this very simple and basic recipe helps you. Combine with some roasted veggies, cous-ous, lemonade and a table on the back porch. Enjoy!
