Thumb_11385_Pork Shoulder Stuffed With Anise, Rosemary And Garlic

Porchetta is a traditional Italian dish, one that's often made by stuffing a whole suckling pig. For a simpler version, try it with just the pork shoulder, as we've done here. Be sure to ask your butcher to butterfly it for you, since it's tricky to do at home. The stuffing varies slightly according to the cook, so consider this one of many options.

This recipe is a variation on Alton Brown's "Burger of the Gods." Grinding your beef at home is one of the best ways to make a simple burger better. The heavier the pan you use to cook the burgers, the better sear you'll get.

The yogurt coats the chunks of lamb and, when grilled, give the meat a rich and rounded charred flavor. This marinade works well on just about any cut of meat, though we find that it somehow complements lamb the best. Add another 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for some heat.

The combination of chili powder and cumin give pork chops a nice bite.  If you really like your spices, mix them together with salt and pepper first, then rub them firmly into the pork to help them stick during cooking. 

Thumb_6799_Grilled Flank Steak

Thumb_6799_Grilled Flank Steak

This simplest of grilled steak recipes could be dolled up with any marinade (such as jerk, chimichurri or lime-soy), but why not just let the generously seasoned flank steak speak for itself? We like flank steak rare, but you could let it go to medium. Past that and you risk a tough piece of meat.

Thumb_4568_Grilled Orange-Rosemary Lamb Chops

Thumb_4568_Grilled Orange-Rosemary Lamb Chops

The flavor of orange is an unusual twist on your basic lamb chop, but goes wonderfully with the piney and  fragrant fresh rosemary.  Garlic, honey, and bay leaves round out the tanginess with sweet and pungent tones.

Straight-up grilled steaks can be mouthwatering, as long as you're careful not to not over-cook them. Put your meat thermometer in easy reach and remove the steaks from the heat when they are slightly under temperature. They will finish cooking while you let the meat rest.

Soaking pork loin chops in a salt and fresh water brine for 45 minutes before grilling ensures that they will be exceptionally tender. Basting chops with a mixture of Dijon, olive oil and fresh marjoram, rosemary and thyme adds an herbal note and a savory tang.

Rosemary and garlic are natural compliments to the rich flavor of lamb.  This dish goes particularly well with the Roasted Eggplant Salad with Lemon-Garlic Vinagrette - take a look at the "goes with" tab for the recipe.

As tender as beef filet is, it really isn't as flavorful as more marbled cuts like the sirloin or strip. Grilling your filet is a great way to remedy that. Be sure not to overcook it though, as the ensuing toughness willl undo any gains in flavor you got by grilling. A good meat thermometer is your friend here.
