Let’s Grill!

Perfectly Grilled Steak

2 thick cut filet mignon (about 10oz each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

salt and pepper

Preheat the grill on high. Let the steaks rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. Coat the steaks with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper.

Place the steaks on the grill and cook for 5 – 6 minutes per side for medium-rare (if you like medium cook for 8 minutes per side).

Transfer the steaks to a cutting or serving platter and let rest for 5 minutes.

Happy Grilling!

Hope everyone is have a great weekend! For tonight’s dinner I decided to make beef ribs and cook them slow in the oven and then finish them off on the grill. Now like most of my meats I like to make a sauce and since Jen is a fan of spicy I made a spicy onion sauce which goes well with the ribs.

Let’s cook!

Beef Ribs with Spicy Onion Sauce

 

For the ribs:

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

7 – 9 beef ribs

1 bottle of beer

For the sauce:

2 tablespoons adobo spice

1 onion, chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground cumin

2 garlic cloves, chopped

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 cup ketchup

Pre-heat oven to 350. In a small bowl combine the rub ingredients.

Evenly coat each rib with the rub and then place in a disposable foil pan.

Add the beer.

Tightly cover with aluminum foil and place in the oven for one hour.

While the ribs are cooking, make the sauce. In a blender combine the onions, oregano, cumin, and garlic (I also add the very last sip of the beer as well).

In a saucepan over medium heat, add vinegar, brown sugar.

Add the onion paste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low until the sauce has thickened.

After cooking the ribs for one hour, carefully remove the aluminum foil cover and turn the ribs over. Put the foil cover back on the pan and continue to cook for another hour.

Pre-heat grill on medium heat. Remove the ribs from the foil pan and place on a cooking sheet. Liberally brush the ribs with the sauce.

Add the ribs to the grill and cook for 5 minutes per side, 1o minutes total.

Transfer the ribs to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce.
