Pick of the Week Recipe: Summer Grilling for Two in 40 Minutes
By Sandy Lawler
|
Who doesn’t love BBQ? I like to BBQ all year long but most of all in the summer when I can cook it all on the grill! Burgers, chicken, fish, veggies...all of it. Keep the heat out of my kitchen! Last night I cooked a beautiful collection of market finds: ribeye steak, first of the corn and new potatoes. That and a glass of red wine with a mixed-green salad was heaven!
- 1 grill with a cover
- 1 pound ribeye steak, about an inch thick, defrosted
- 6 new potatoes about 1-1/2” each, scrubbed
- 2 ears of corn in the husk, rinsed
- Salt, pepper, butter or olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to high, or if using charcoal get a nice pile of briquettes going on one side. You’ll want those coals to be white by the time your steak is ready, so keep all the vents open.
- Remove your steak from the packaging and set on a platter. Season it well with salt and pepper or your favorite dry seasoning. Set aside.
- Clean your hot grill grate with a scraper until smooth. You may want to rub a vegetable oil cloth over the grate.
- Place your potatoes and corn on the grill and cook covered for 10 minutes, checking to make sure the potatoes don’t over char. Flip the corn and potatoes and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Move the veggies to the side off the flame or to an upper grill rack.
- Place your steak over the hot side, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, flip the steak over on a 90-degree turn, making sure the grill marks go in the other direction. This will help with even cooking. Cover and cook for 4 minutes.
- Remove the steak to a clean platter and let rest for at least 10 minutes.
- I like to pull the husk off the corn at this point and place the ear on the grill giving a little grill to the kernels...don’t forget to turn off your grill or close the vents and let the coals die down.
- Put butter, salt and pepper on the table, slice the steak, and dinner is served!
