Chimichurri Surf & Turf Kabobs
This time of the year, there’s nothing better than grilling with a beer in your hand! The best recipes are the easiest ones, so they don’t distract from playing lawn games, enjoying company, and of course, sipping that beer. That’s what makes chimichurri such an awesome sauce. You can whip it up in a food processor in no time flat, and I usually have enough herbs lying around to make it without going to the store. This sauce tastes grea... Read More ›

Surf and turf is one of my absolute favorite dishes. Simultaneous steak and seafood is always a great idea!

Your barbecue grill is good for more than just charring up racks of ribs – you can make dessert with it, too. You've probably already broken in your grill for the season, busting out some ribs, chicken or perhaps even a steak or two. But get your mind off the butcher for a minute and think about how to use your grill to bring out the best in this season's fruit. If hot fruit doesn't immediately appeal to you, just think about the caramelize... Read More ›

Sriracha Beer Can Chicken
I first learned the technique of roasting chicken on a half-full beer can from my dad. I remember thinking, “This absolutely has to be good because I’ve never seen my dad waste beer before.” And it was. In fact, it was unbelievably good. Probably the most tender roasted chicken I’ve ever had. It’s totally worth sacrificing half a beer to have a perfectly cooked, very tender chicken! Over the years, I’ve worked up a few differen...

How to Make a Marinade
The art of marinating can take a steak, fish or other protein from subpar to sublime. Marinating is the process of soaking foods - usually meats - in a seasoned liquid before you cook them. Why choose to marinate? Because the acids in marinades can tenderize a cheaper cut of meat and impart a lot of extra flavor as a bonus. While you're not going to turn a skirt-steak into prime rib, when done properly, you can recreate a delicious fine-dinin... Read More ›
