Test Kitchen Notes: plan ahead the meat needs to marinade for 24 hours, then must sit out on the counter for a few hours before grilling, make certain to slice the meat across the grain after cooking

Servings 4-6

INGREDIENTS:

2 pounds flank steaks

McCormick’s Montreal Brand steak seasoning (to taste, or freshly ground coarse black pepper)

salt (to taste, I use seasoned salt if using fresh ground black pepper)

MARINADE:
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
3-4 tablespoons honey (or can use 3-4 tablespoons real maple syrup, do not
substitute brown sugar)
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
4 large garlic cloves, minced (garlic lovers can use more)
2 green onions, coarsley chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
In a bowl combine all marinade ingredients until well combined.
Score the surface of the uncooked steak about 1/4-inch deep across the grain.
Place the marinade into a large heavy resealable plastic bag then add in the beef.
Seal bag and toss meat to coat with the marinade.
Place the bag into a large bowl.
Refrigerate for 24 hours (tossing the bag a couple of times during the refrigeration time).
Remove beef from the marinade and allow all the marinade to drip off scraping off the chopped garlic pieces and green onions from the meat.
Place on a large plate (I use a jelly-roll pan) and allow to sit out on the counter until almost room temperature, this might take about 3 or more hours.
Preheat grill to high heat.
Place on grill and season with steak seasoning or fresh ground black pepper and a little salt.
Grill the meat about 5-6 minutes per side for rare doneness (turning only one time, do not overcook the meat as it will cook a little more after removing from the grill).
Remove to a plate/s and allow to sit for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the meat across the grain.

There is enough marinade for 2 pork tenderloins (the small long kind)  this also makes a wonderful pork tenderloin roast but you will need to double or even triple the ingredients for a roast (keeping the garlic and green onion amounts the same or increasing only slightly) …..

Fresh orange and lime juice only bottled will reduce the flavor, use this for grilling or oven cooking…plan ahead the pork needs to marinade for 24 hours or more

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup dark rum

5 green onions, finely chopped

4 large garlic cloves, chopped

2 teaspoons dried oregano (rubbed between fingers to release the flavor)

3 teaspoons cumin

2 teaspoons salt

1 bay leaf

1-1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:———————————

In a bowl whisk together first 11 ingredients and transfer to a large heavy ziploc plastic bag, add in the pork; close bag tightly and turn to coat.

Place the bag in a large bowl and refrigerate for 24 hours (turning the bag frequently during chilling time).

Remove the pork from marinade.

Grill or oven roast (discarding the marinade).

Taken from my “Favorites” file!…

Plan ahead the ribs need to marinate for 24 hours, these also may be made on the grill cooked on a low temperature to prevent the ribs from burning while cooking, I have listed 4 racks or ribs I have however used 5 racks in the past

Yield 4 baby back rib racks

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/3-1/2 cup Jack Daniels Whiskey
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • fresh ground black pepper
  • 8 to 10 garlic cloves, sliced or cut in half, do not chop or mince the cloves you will be removing them from the marinade, the more garlic the better!
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger
  • 4 racks of baby-back pork ribs (do not cut the ribs apart)
INSTRUCTIONS:———————————-
In a bowl whisk together sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, whiskey, salt and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the marinade into a roasting pan.
Add in the garlic and ginger.
Add in the ribs turning to coat with the marinade.
Cover and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 24 hours, turning occasionally to coat with marinade.
Remove the ribs from the marinade (reserving the marinade, and discard the garlic).
Arrange the rib racks on a large broiler pan (rounded side facing up).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Set the rack to the second-lowest position.
Roast the ribs, basting with marinade about every 20 minutes (do not baste the last 10 minutes of cooking or until the ribs are tender and the glaze is browned).
Roast the ribs about 1-3/4 hours.
Discard any unused marinade.
Cut the ribs to desired size and serve.
