Summer BBQ Ideas!!!!

LOVE GRILLING/BBQ'ING!! gonna share my secret recipe with ya!!

I absolutely love pork that is cooked on the grill. I have tried many recipes from both cook books and different web sites. After looking at a TON of recipes, I came up with this one by taking a little from one and a little from another. It took about 8 times but I finally came up with a combination that gets "Rave Reviews" every time I serve it.

SKEETER'S GRILLED PORK TENDERLOIN
serves 4-6 people

MIX TOGETHER:
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup lite soy sauce
7 oz bottle oyster sauce (available at Krogers in the "Asian" section)
4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoon ketchup
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 ancho chili cut up in to small strips (or more or less to personal taste)
1 teaspoon of good quality cinnamon
the juice of two fresh limes
the zest of one of the limes

*see note at bottom*

Wash tenderloin off and pat it dry. Arrange in a large zip lock bag. In a bowl whisk together all remaining ingredients and pour marinade over pork. Turn pork to coat well. Chill pork, covered, turning it once or twice, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.

Prepare grill. I prefer to use coals vs. gas. I just like the taste better. But if using gas, I used the grill set at medium.

Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade, and arrange on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals. (about med. hot coals). Grill pork turning it every 3 minutes, until a thermometer diagonally inserted 2 inches into center of tenderloin registers 155°-160°F. This takes 20-30 minutes.

Let pork stand 10 minutes (covered loosely in foil) before thinly slicing.

Serve with dipping sauce (below)

*note*. Add about 1 1/2 cup of apple juice or water to marinade, reduce for a dipping sauce. I put the sauce on the stove at low-medium heat, letting it go to a slow boil for the whole time the tenderloin is grilling. Sometimes, I finish it off with 1-2 tablespoons of cold butter.

My fave way to prepare & eat corn on the cob:

1. Precook husked and rinsed corn (cover corn with damp paper towels and cook approx 3 minutes in microwave).
2. Baste several times with *special* basting sauce on grill 'til done.

SPECIAL BASTING SAUCE
Butter
Lime Juice
Chipotle Sauce*
Pinch of Salt
*Experiment with the degree of spicy that suits your palate.

(I think this recipe idea is from Gourmet magazine, I did not originate it).

Yummy!!!

My summer barbeques always include LOTS of alcohol. Although, I really don't like beer, I always have at least one beer cocktail on hand. The one that I personally enjoy is called a snake bite...black and tan (guiness) and some other sort of beer mixed with hard cider..which is delicious, another favorite being hard cider with a bit of fire ball whiskey in it...tastes like apple pie!

Last summer however we discovered our new tasty drink that is super easy and yummy..

Strawberry Beer Lemonade

2 cups strawberries, hulled and chopped

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup fresh squeeszed lemon juice

1 large bottle blonde or pale ale (1 pint, 6 oz)

Ice
Add the berries, sugar and lemon juice to a pitcher. Allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes for the sugar to dissolve and the berries to begin to break down. Add the beer and ice and stir to combine. Adjust the lemon and sugar to your taste.

SERIOUSLY delicious, try it!

We do veggie packets on the grill, too! That way we can each pick out our own veggie combinations. I add a lil' dab of butter, garlic salt & pepper to mine. D uses a splash of zesty italian dressing with hers.

The difference between BBQ and Grilling?

It has nothing to do with sauce. It is a matter of time and heat.

BBQ is cooking long, low and slow. Grilling is cooking fast and hot.

BBQ - ribs, pork, brisket. These foods soak up the smoke and rub.

Grilling - seafood, veggies, burgers, brats, chicken, steak, fruit.

Barbecue vs cookout.

Does it matter what area you are from if you will say, "Come over for a BBQ or cookout?" Typically when you hear, "Ya'll come over for a bbq." form southerners It means ribs, pulled pork, coleslaw, banana pudding, sweet tea. And northerners will say bbq to refer to cookout or grilling burgers and dogs.

Which term do you use? I tend to use both for any kind of bbq or grilling! LOL
