I love grilling – pork, chicken, hotdogs, fish… I think we have already tried grilling almost every type of food which can be grilled. Unfortunately, now that it’s so called outside (you don’t need outdoor thermometers to tell you that), we can’t grill as often as we used to. So, to solve our cooking dilemma, we bought a stove-top pan griller!

And I already used it. I tried to cook sweet-style pork liempo barbecue. I prepared the pork liempo cuts and marinated them in soy sauce, brown sugar, calamansi extract, and lots of pepper. I heated the stove top pan griller and place the cuts and just waited for each of the sides to get cooked. I actually overcooked it a bit for fear of serving it raw (Overcooked is after all better than raw when you have kids eating the food). Hubby and my brother (and I) loved it although I still find outdoor grilled food more superb.

When I entertain, I make sure that all the food can be prepared and served or set out on a buffet with very little effort. At the very most, I include only one menu item that has to be cooked just before serving.
For that reason, I find beef tenderloin to be my entertaining slam dunk! Everyone loves beef tenderloin and it is good served chilled, at room temperature or warm. If you are serving it chilled or at room temperature, it can be made the day before, making it even more convenient.

If you like, you can splurge and buy prime tenderloin. Or if you plan in advance you can employ my trick and "wet age" it yourself in the refrigerator, resulting in a tenderloin with great depth of flavor.
Home wet-aging is effortless and especially handy because you can buy the tenderloin when it is on sale and save it for a future party or parties. Make sure you purchase a tenderloin that has been shrink-sealed (no air in the packaging). Once the meat is exposed to air, you have to cook it or it will go bad.

Thanksgiving on the grill: Add some smoke to your side dishes But let's say you want to fire up the grill. Easy. You can pretty much grill or smoke anything that you'd usually cook on the stove top or in the oven. Because of its slender but meaty stalks, broccoli rabe takes especially well to the grill. |
