Korean-Style Grilled Beef
Here’s a fast way to jazz up your weekend steaks. I’ve posted this recipe for Korean Bulgogi before, but it deserves another look on a sunny Friday. It finally stopped raining here which means improved moods and…grill time! Yes! This marinade is perfect for a top sirloin (although I had strip steaks in the freezer;…
Seriously Good Grilled Lemon Shrimp
My previous solution to improve less-than-stellar shrimp was to fry them into crispy, golden submission. I still stand by that completely delicious method (who doesn’t like fried shrimp?), but I now offer a lighter, less messy – grilled! – option as well. And it is good, like seriously good. Here’s the skinny. This is yet…
Sunday Night Burger
Grillin’ and chilin’, a real warm-weather day. Puppy Louis spent all day outside, playing in the park and back yard, snoozing on the deck, and acquiring a fair number of burrs (luckily, they slide out of his fur pretty easily). We spent all day outside too, reading and…playing with Puppy Louis. I might even be…
Tandoori Chicken Skewers with Cucumber Raita
Spring has sprung in Minnesota, at least for this week, lalalaaaa! Birds are singing, I’m singing, I’m grilling, birds are grilling, the sun is shining, and all is right in the world. The heat feels good, everywhere, even on my tongue. I…
Chapa

I’m really enjoying the concepts and recipes in my new cookbook, Seven Fires: Grilling the Argentine Way, by Francis Mallman. In particular, I’m a bit obsessed with cooking vegetables on a chapa – (from the book) a flat piece of cast iron or a cast-iron skillet set over a fire. I’m using my big Le…
Tosca, Miso, Thursday, Friday
John and I snuck out for dinner last night at Turtle Bread’s long-awaited venture, Trattoria Tosca. I didn’t have false hopes – I knew that this wasn’t going to hit the ground running as a (Restaurant) Levain experience – but based on a quick read through Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl’s blog post (she hasn’t done a…
Marinades
Remember when everyone thought marinades tenderized meat? Ah well, they don’t (just like browning meat doesn’t “seal in the juices” – but I digress…). Marinades do however add tons of flavor – to meat and vegetables – and are therefore my current…
Grillin’, Chillin’ Part II
Oooh, I love my new Weber vegetable grill pan. I made chicken fajitas tonight and grilled the onions and peppers right alongside the chicken breasts. I spritzed the pan with oil first, and tossed the vegetables with a little bit of olive oil (sprinkle of salt, few shakes of ancho chili powder) before spreading them…
Grillin’, Chillin’ Part I
From www.cookinglight.com I hope you’re relaxing right about now, enjoying the start of a long Memorial Day weekend. It’s a weekend for griling, of course – I’m planning a little grilled tasty every day. First up, tonight, skewers of salmon and shrimp, marinated first in something citrus-y/garlicky, to serve alongside pasta (for the kids) and…
Grill Baby Grill
Even if you took a break this winter, I’ll bet you’re grilling again now – it’s warm enough for just about everyone to fire ‘er up. Although eating an abundance of grilled (charred) food is sadly not a good idea, I’m not going to sweat one or two grilled meals per week. It’s just so…
