Bourbon Marinated London Broil

June 14, 2010 by Ellen · 1 Comment 

London broil or flank steak could be used here. I believe they are related. The marinade is easy to mix up and really adds a lot of flavor. My mother used to score a flank steak thinly with some slashes of a sharp knife after trimming it and before marinating. I poked this a few [...]

Butterflied Roast Chicken: New to Me

April 12, 2010 by Ellen · 2 Comments 

I went to our farmer’s market yesterday with a friend and vowed, again, to make this a Saturday habit. I came home with kale, carrots, strawberries, asparagus, tomatoes (a disappointment, but still better than grocery store ones), fingerling potatoes, and some fantastic mustard! The lady who sold the mustard said to rub it on a [...]

The BEST Chicken Marinade

April 19, 2009 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Last night I hosted a surprise birthday party for a friend. We had about 25 friends and neighbors gather. It was pot luck and folks brought all kinds of delicious appetizers and baked beans and salads. I grilled chicken breasts and burgers–well actually some nice guests volunteered to man the grill so I can’t take [...]

Soy and Sesame Steak Marinade

I didn’t measure this but am recording the “idea” so I can fine tune the measurements later. a few chugs of soy sauce a few splashes of sesame oil some crushed garlic (a few teaspoons) some sesame seeds (a few spoonfuls) some lime juice (I emptied the bottle, maybe 1/4 cup) some brown sugar (2 [...]

Marinated Chicken for the Grill

July 23, 2005 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

I love marinated barbecued chicken. Chicken is so mild without some help. I will frequently mix up a large batch of marinade and then put various pieces of chicken in freezer bags with portions of the marinade. When you’re in a hurry for dinner, pull out a bag of chicken the night or two before [...]

Soy-Mustard Marinade for Pork

June 8, 2005 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

While at the grocery store looking over the meats, three butchers were ganging up on another butcher. “You don’t barbecue pork chops?”“No. I mean, I never have. I just cook them on the stove.”“You have NEVER barbecued pork chops?”“No. Why? I mean, I just learned to fry them in a frying pan.”“Oh my. I don’t [...]

Marinated Chicken Thighs

June 6, 2005 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Shopping the sales these days and chicken thighs (or legs) were on sale for 99 cents a pound. I picked up a package this afternoon, as well as some other meats of which I might write later this week if I do anything interesting. Life has been busy and I’ve not been experimenting, but relying [...]

Steak with Soy-Balsamic Marinade

March 9, 2005 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

A few weeks ago London Broils were on sale so I bought two and threw one in the freezer. A few days ago I defrosted it. I was going to do a teriyaki marinade I love, but it makes a ton of marinade, way more than I needed for this one steak. So I looked [...]

Beer Marinade for Beef

January 9, 2005 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

In coming up with the menu for last night’s dinner party, I kept coming back to the hunks-o’-grilled-meat theme, rather than a more normal oven-based menu, given the storms we have been having this weekend. But I did end up barbecuing, first the pork tenderloin and then a top sirloin that had been marinated in [...]

Steak Marinades

July 4, 2004 by Ellen · Leave a Comment 

Okay, steaks are NOT cheap. But if you’re going to splurge, get the most of the meat! Sometimes, all I like to do is sprinkle garlic salt and seasoned or plain pepper on the steaks a few minutes before grilling. Other times I like to marinade them. I like to use a freezer bag to [...]
