Grilling ideas needed

[Pete]

I need some unique ideas for grilling out tonight.

I'm going to stop by the fancy grocery and get some fromage (fancy cheese), olives, fruit, etc. and wine for a nice evening on the deck and want to grill something as well....but I have writers block on this and can't think of anything that seems like it would hit the spot.

Ideas?

 , I eat loads, loads of hot dogs.

I am trying to think of something I wouldn't think of, but that is good.  This is an epistemological and culinary dilemma, ya know?

In that case, something involving Chicken.

Try lamb or something.  You already got the fancy cheese and olives.  May as well Greek it up another notch.

how about a flatiron steak, rub it up and let sit for at least an hour, get grill rockin hot and sear it over direct heat about 2/3 minutes each side, move to indirect heat and cook low and slow until internal temp reaches 130/140 depending on how much pink you want in the middle.  Cut in 1/2 inch slices cross-grain.

Marinate shrimp in some kind of delicious liquid, then ram a skewer through them.  Price wise,  even ginormous 21/30 shrimp would still be cheaper than a good cut of steak.

Was going to bump my grilling thread with this info but I'll just share here.

Grilled these last night.  Unbelievably good.  Like way better than you think they will be.  Not fancy or sophisticated though.

That's the one.

Also called the "Woo Burger" at the Wheel in Lawrence.  Very good.

Pepercorn crusted pork loin.  Hormel does them up right.  Let it sit about 10 minuted before cutting it up and it's perfect with other finger/snackin' foods.

Add a bottle of a mid-range Malbec.

run a skewer through some pearl onion, whole mushrooms, yellow squash/zucchini, green pepper, and cubed steak.  I think they call it shishkabob.

Other idea would be hot dogs.

Extra large shrimp, wrap in bacon, "sprinkle" some rub over them...delicious.

Thick cut country style pork ribs sprinkled with lemon pepper. Cook over indirect heat for approx 2 hours, turning every 1/2 hour. After the two hours, wrap all ribs in aluminum foil, along with covering with your favorite bbq sauce,  and cook on indirect/low heat for 1/2 hour. Very yummy.

Pete-

Better stock up on meats right now, over at the politics board I heard that Cass Sunstein + Obama are pretty much dead set against anyone eating meat ever again.  Hope you enjoy those last tender morsels before its too late.

If it does come to fruition, I suggest all those hungry cook and eat you.

Flatiron steaks are delicious.  (Probably the only worthwhile thing to come out of the UNL in the last decade.) Supposedly the second most tender cut (after tenderloin, obviously) and they're really inexpensive.  Also good for classing up fajitas a notch, as they're very similar to traditional skirt steaks.   Just make sure you let the steaks rest for 5 minutes or so after cooking.  Gotta let the juices redistribute.

Absolutely a great cut and much less expensive than the "normal" steak cuts. 

Good catch on letting it sit, very important with all bbq/smoked meats.  I wrap my smoked stuff in foil and let sit for an hour at least.

i'm a massive griller/master chef.  the californians love the tri-tip.

You may not want to totally seal that wrapping.  The heat tends to create condensation so it's a good idea to have a way for the steam/heat to escape so it doesn't collect on the surface of the meat.

I ended up doing bacon wrapped scallops.  They were good, but stupidly I didn't do a marinade.  Bacon is kinda it's own marinade, but they could have been so much better.

Have had good bacon wrapped scallops at Joe's Stone Crabs in Ceasar's.

I think that place is the one where Bobby Flay ate "The best thing he'd ever eaten."  I've never even had stone crab, but everyone seems to rave about them and that place is supposed to be the best.
