Marvelous Meat Every Night Grilling!
- quick marinade:
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- a few sprigs of fresh rosemary rough chopped or a couple teaspoons of dried rosemary
- a couple sprigs of fresh mint, roughly chopped (dried will NOT do)
- 2 medium sized cloves of garlic crushed or minced (fresh NOT the stuff in a jar)
- juice of one lemon
- 1/3 cup of red wine
- 1/4 cup of coffee grounds
- salt (I like those artisan sea salts available at your gourmet shops or cooking oriented retail stores)
- fresh ground pepper to taste
- 4 small delmonico steaks, 2 medium strip steaks or 4 lamb chops - whatever your meat preference
- about an hour to hour and a half before grilling, throw your marinade together - mix all ingredients EXCEPT salt & pepper & garlic & coffee grounds.
- Whisk together briskly in a mixing bowl and transfer to a shallow rectangular baking pan (like you would use for brownies, etc)
- rub your meat on BOTH sides with salt, pepper & garlic & coffee ground & place in marinade. cover with saran wrap & refrigerate. Marinade for about an hour, turning meat once. (the longer you marinate, however, the stronger the flavors- you can marinade and refrigerate the day before)
- rev up your grill when it's dinner time, grill to your meat doneness preference (I like medium rare personally, which is about 5 - 7 minutes a side on my little mini weber kettle charcoal grill)- you can use the marinade liquid to baste while cooking, but discard any leftovers - you can't reuse marinades.
- serve with oven roasted fingerling or baby red bliss potatoes & a nice salad & you have a simple, easy, restaurant worthy meal!
- enjoy!
