1 Ham Steak
1 can Pineapple Slices (rings)
2 tsp Brown Sugar
1 tsp Brown Mustard
2 – 4 drops hot sauce

Use a can opener and pop 2 holes in the can of pineapple, drain thoroughly into 5” Dutch oven and place inside grill. Bring pineapple juice to a low simmer, add brown sugar, mustard and hot sauce. Stir until ingredients are completely dissolved. Reduce liquid by half making a simple syrup. Open ham steak package and can of pineapple. Place on grill over medium heat and baste with sauce. Cook long enough to warm through and achieve those wonderful grill marks. Baste as much as needed to keep ham and pineapple moist.

The sweet potato was grilled along with the ham and pineapples. Cut the sweet potato in half length wise. Brush the cut side with a small amount of olive oil. Take a small amount of brown sugar, pinch of cinnamon, pinch of salt. Mix and apply to the sweet potato. Grill cut side down till brown. Move the potato away from the heat and cook indirectly till done, about an hour.

My kids go wild over grilled pineapple. This will taste like the big hams many mothers would cook all day in the oven without all the hassle.

Yum!




1 Large Onion
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Brown Sugar
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Cut the top off the onion. Cut just enough off the bottom of the onion, so it will stand up straight. Peel off the remaining skin. Cut the onion into 4 to 6 wedges stopping just short of going all the way through. This will keep it together. Tear off two pieces of aluminum foil 10 to 12 inches long. The double layer will protect the onion from burning while on the grill. Place the onion centered on the foil pulling foil up tight and around onion. Crimp foil so the top of the onion is exposed. Add salt and pepper and brown sugar. Then drizzle the olive oil over onion to moisten the brown sugar.

Place the onion directly over medium high heat until it is hot. Then move onion away from heat and bake indirectly for 20 minutes or till desired softness. Using tongs to reach into foil and pull out onion wedges.




This is great way to have onions on your steak, burgers or chicken sandwiches. You can add other seasonings to make an ordinary onion fit any main dish you want.

We hope you enjoy this simple grilling recipe.




This side dish is good and easy, almost lazy.

Large Russet Potatoes, the long not so round ones.
Olive Oil
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Salt & Pepper

Wash spuds and cut them into rounds about 1” thick. Figure about 3 rounds per person. Lightly fork the rounds on the cut sides, be careful not to break them and put in bowl. Coat spuds with oil and toss, then shake remaining ingredients on spuds while tossing to cover all sides. Let stand for few minutes for flavors to penetrate to spuds.

If cooking on a grill put spuds directly over heat to apply grill marks and lightly browned. Turn spuds and repeat. After all the spuds are browned finish baking with indirect heat for 30 or so minutes.

If cooking over an open fire grill spuds on a grate then transfer to a large Dutch oven with a trivet and finish the baking process.

These potatoes will have a light brown toasty outside, but very moist and smooth in the middle. No matter how you make them the smoky grill flavor is great.




This is the number one question that grillers have—how to make the perfect grilled steak. Well, practice makes perfect. You will probably have your share of duds before you reach the pinnacle of perfection. But, that doesn’t mean you have to start with inferior products.

Like I said, practice makes perfect. To grill the best steak you’ve ever tasted, you need to use that grill more than a couple of times each year. So, stock that freezer with the best cuts of beef for the job and let’s get down to brass tacks.

The first thing is to choose your meat. I won’t lie to you—beef is expensive. Those thick steaks you see on the commercials will cost a pretty penny, but, not to worry. You can find what you need at a butcher shop or the meat section of your favorite grocery store.
The best meat for grilling is labeled USDA Prime. This beef is marbled which means that there are veins of fat running through the meat. Prime is aged for a several days so that it is perfect for cooking. If you can’t afford the prime cut of beef, move on over to USDA Choice. It is a little cheaper but just as marbled and delicious on the grill.

Now that we know the grade of meat we are looking for, we need to know which types of beef cuts are best on the grill. I personally love a good New York strip steak or a T-bone steak. They grill up nice and tender so they melt in your mouth. Porterhouse and sirloin steaks are also good. Any steak with a bone in it will need longer cooking for the meat next to the bone.

If you choose marinate your steak. A good hour in the fridge should do it. With the proper cuts of meat, this is enough time for the meat to soak up the flavor. Let the meat come to room temperature before grilling.

When you are just starting out, don’t get too ambitious. By this I mean, start with a thinner cut of meat. Don’t throw a two inch thick steak on the grill like the king of the world and have it taste tougher than shoe leather when it’s done. Stay around an inch or less in thickness and practice before moving up to the major leagues.

Steaks that are cherry in color are ready for grilling. Avoid that marked down meat that is turning a shade of gray or brown. Turn to the butcher for advice on the best buys. With meat in hand, light the grill and let the good times roll.

Enjoy,
