Taking Dinner Outdoors: Americans Get Their Grills On
Grilling is a favorite pastime in America, but when it comes to more than just the basics, many feel intimidated. Here's how you can elevate your grilling game and impress your friends and family.
Simplify Your Outdoor Cooking
For a seamless grilling experience, local grocery stores are invaluable. Safeway’s Great Grilling program offers recipes, tools, and top-notch ingredients under one roof. Their Rancher's Reserve beef is renowned for its tenderness. Developed in collaboration with Sunset magazine, these recipes are perfect for spontaneous grilling sessions.
Essential Grilling Tools
Whether you prefer charcoal or gas, having the right tools simplifies the process. A wide spatula, long tongs, a long-handled brush, and a water spray bottle form the core of any great griller’s toolkit, ensuring safety and ease of use.
Mastering Direct-Heat Grilling
Direct-heat grilling is perfect for quickly cooking thin cuts of meat, achieving a delicious sear on the outside. Try this foolproof recipe:
Flank Steak with Green Olive-Jalapeño Tapenade
A Mediterranean twist elevates this tender flank steak.
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Grill Time: 13-17 minutes, plus 5 minutes resting
- Servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 1 jar (4.5 oz.) Safeway Select Stuffed Jalapeño Olives, drained
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 cup Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
- 1/4 cup Safeway Select Verdi Olive Oil
- 1 Rancher's Reserve Flank Steak (about 1.5 lbs)
Instructions:
1. Preheat Grill: For charcoal, oil the grill before placing it over hot coals. For gas, oil the grill when hot.
2. Prepare Tapenade: Rinse and drain olives. Blend olives, garlic, parsley, rosemary, lemon peel, and oil in a food processor until smooth. Set aside 1/2 cup for seasoning; reserve the rest for serving.
3. Prepare Steak: Rinse and pat dry. Score both sides with shallow diagonal cuts to create a diamond pattern.
4. Season Steak: Coat both sides with 1/2 cup of the tapenade.
5. Grill Steak: Place on the grill over hot coals or high heat. On a charcoal grill, leave uncovered; on a gas grill, close the lid. Cook until browned on the bottom (8?"10 minutes). Turn and cook 2 more minutes for rare or 4 for medium-rare.
6. Rest and Serve: Let steak rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain. Serve with remaining tapenade.
Beverage Pairings: Consider a spicy zinfandel, an English-style pale ale, or refreshing peppermint iced tea.
Tools Needed: Grater, strainer, measuring tools, food processor, paper towels, sharp knife, heatproof brush, and a platter.
By following these tips, you'll be well-equipped to take your grilling skills to new heights. Enjoy your outdoor culinary adventures!
