Grilled Steaks, Baked Potatoes and Leftover Corn on the Cob

Steaks
4 ribeye steaks
1 bottle Andreas Steak Sauce and Marinade

We get several steaks from Angel Food Ministries every month so we have this almost every Monday. It is the only "beef" night of the week my hubby gets.

I usually place 4 steaks of any type in a ziploc or gladware bowl and pour over a bottle of Andreas steak sauce over them on Sunday night before I go to bed. Then they have all night and the next day to soak up the marinade. I find the steak sauce in the meat department at our grocery stores although sometimes it is hard for me to find.

Baked Potatoes
4 lg baking potatoes
Olive Oil
Sea Salt, Freshly Ground Pepper, a little garlic and onion powder

I wash the potato skin very well and brush them with a little olive oil then sprinkle the seasonings on the outside and wrap them with aluminum foil and put them on the grill over low-med heat and cook for 30 minutes or until a knife easily slides into them.

Pinepple Skewered Shrimp w/Corn on the cob

Pineapple Skewered Shrimp

12 Jumbo Shrimp, peeled and deveined(or more depending on people being served) (Shrimp comes in large bags at Aldi's)
3/4C teriyaki sauce
2 green onions, chopped
2 T sugar
2 Garlic cloves, finely chopped
8 oz. Pineapple chunks
1/2T fresh ginger(optional)
2T lime zest(optional)
wooden skewers

Add all ingredients except for pineapple and shrimp to marinating pan. Now add the liquid from your pineapple can. Stir until sugar is well mixed. Add the shrimp to the marinade and rotate to coat. Cover and marinate for 2-3 hours. Set aside pineapple chunks. After marinating place shrimp and pineapple alternating on skewers. Coat your grill with a touch of cooking spray or oil. Put the skewers on the grill. Rotate once after two minutes, and once more after two more minutes. Let sit one minute then serve.

Okay, I marinated this overnight on the skewers. It was good, but it was not a family favorite at all. Sorry there is not a picture, I would say that I would post one next time I have this, but I'm not sure if I will make it again. I enjoyed it, it did have a little bit of an oriental taste to it, so If you like oriental flavoring you might try it and let me know what you all think. It just was not a hit with my family, sometimes they are a little harder to please than me.

Honey Grilled Pork Chops with Roasted Red Potatoes

Honey Grilled Pork Chops

1/2C soy sauce
1t ground ginger
1 1/2T minced garlic
4T brown sugar
6T honey
1T oil
4 center cut pork chops, 1 1/2 inch thick


Combine soy sauce, ground ginger and garlic in a bowl. Place pork chops in a resealable containter and pour mixture over pork chops. Marinate overnight and grill over med heat. While chops are cooking on grill, simmer brown sugar, honey and oil in a sauce pan until sugar dissolves. When pork chops are almost done place them on the top rack away from direct heat and brush on the glaze cook until finished.

Roasted Red Potatoes

Bag of small red potatoes
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
Grated parmesan cheese( I probably used 1/2C to 1C)
Pepper
Seasoned Salt
Garlic
Olive Oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the potatoes into bite size chunks and rinse off in strainer. Combine all dry ingredients in a gallon Ziploc bag. Add the potatoes to the dry mix and shake well to mix. Drizzle a little olive oil on a cookie sheet and pour potato mixture onto the cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for about an hour or until potatoes are slightly browned and crisp on the outside.

Yet another fabulous couple of finds from http://www.recipezaar.com/. It was also another hit with the family which is never easy to do with my family. Hope everyone else enjoys as much as we did.

Grilled Chicken Legs with Lemon and Pepper

8 chicken legs with thigh
1/2C olive oil
1/3C fresh lemon juice
1T chopped fresh rosemary
1t salt
1/2t fresh ground pepper

Arrange chicken in shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken on grill until browned on all sides(about 10 minutes) turning once or twice. If using gas grill reduce heat to low and cook 20 minutes.

I placed this in a glass baking dish and baked it for almost two hours at 350 instead of grilling. I also doubled the ingredients because it was barely enough to cover four chicken legs with thighs let alone 8. I did not use fresh rosemary because I didn't have any on hand, but it was still delicious even with dried rosemary. Yet another fabulous find from recipezaar.com #28279

Zesty Grilled Tilapia

6 6oz tilapia fillets
6 T olive oil
1T grated orange zest
6 T freshly squeezed orange juice
1 T grated fresh ginger
1 t hot sauce, to taste
1 t salt
fresh ground black pepper

Place fish in a large nonmetal dish, whisk together remaining ingredients, pour over the fish. Cover and marinate in the refridgerator for 30 to 60 minutes. Grill until fish just flakes when tested with a fork, about 5 minutes per side for each inch of thickness.

I marinated overnight. I also cooked the fish in a disposable foil pan on the grill, which made it easier to manage. Another wonderful try from recipezaar.com #291446

Grilled Bourbon Salmon

1/4C pineapple juice
2T soy sauce
2T brown sugar
1t bourbon
1/4t fresh cracked pepper
1/8t garlic powder
1/2 vegetable oil
1lb salmon fillets

Combine ingredients in a bowl. Remove skin from salmon. Place salmon in a glass dish side by side. Pour some of the marinade over(reserve some for basting while grilling) refridgerate for at least 1 hour a few hours will be even better. Drain and grill over med. -high about 5-7 minutes per side or until fish flakes-basting with the reserved marinade.

I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil and I combined my ingredients in a freezer bag and put it in the fridge overnight. I also think it would be okay to omit the bourbon if you so choose as it was only a teaspoon, and I couldn't taste it not even in the background.

This is also a find from recipezaar.com recipe#548
