After years of grilling on electric grills and little charcoal hibachis, I finally got a gas grill...a gleaming stainless steel work of art that is almost too pretty to leave out on the patio (but my wife won't let me keep it in the living room).
I usually don't get too fancy when it comes to grilling...just rub some herbs and spices on my meat (no pun intended) and throw it on the grill. The food always turned out pretty much the same: tasty, but nothing exceptional.
So: anyone have a great marinade they swear by which they wouldn't mind sharing?
Last night I used the new grill for the first time (and first time ever cooking on a gas grill), and I was so impatient that I didn't wait for the steaks to thaw thoroughly. Well, when I thought they were done they were beautiful on the outside, but were still frozen in the middle. Five minutes later the middle was still cold, but not frozen. Five more minutes and the steaks were very well done. (I hate well-done.)
