I have some beef short ribs that are going on later tonight. Rare cooked short ribs are the most "beefy" cut you can find. Absolutely full of flavor and when done properly.

Last night I grilled some marinated skirt steak over lump charcoal. The marinade is a favorite of mine: molasses, morita chiles, freshly squeezed lime, lemon and orange juice, pressed garlic, worcestshire, salt, black pepper, olive oil. Terrific stuff!

Interesting--I've never grilled short ribs before. Got any advice for the uninitiated?

Tonight was Italian Sausage with some Mustard potato salad on the side.

Monday its grilled pork chops with caramelized onions along with some sweet corn.

Throw in a little bit of seedless watermelon and some beer and it will be a good day.

I just bought a new grill this weekend. My other one crapped out - 2 of the 4 burners are completely shot.

It gets delivered on Wednesday, so I am essentially without a grill on one of the biggest grilling weekends of the year. :(

A true grill doesn't have a burner, it has coals...

My gas grill hasn't been used in over a year. I tried to use it today for the Italian sausage and it needed a deep cleaning among other things. I prefer the taste of charcoal food anyways.

Yeah yeah. People in the real world don't have time to wait for coals most days of the week.

Well, in your "real" world, bacon sucks. So, you are welcome live in your reality and the rest of us will live in ours.

It was good, just not my favorite thing to grill. It was juicy and had a good taste to it but there are just other things I would rather cook.

Tall Midget enjoyed a late snack of Italian sausages and hot dogs from Paulina Meat Market. Good stuff!

The kind of guy who has the time to wait for coals to heat up.

True. It's that or create moronic mults with thousands of posts. We all have our time-killers, right?

I know the subject is "What are you grilling tonight," but I had a great day yesterday so I thought I'd share.

I got some cast iron presses about a year ago and never used them until yesterday. I pounded some chicken breasts, seasoned them with sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Before I went to bed, I added some blueberry balsamic vinegar to the chicken with the intent of making a blueberry BBQ sauce the next morning, which I did.

I pureed 2 seeded jalapenos, 3 gloves of garlic, half a white onion, and a container of fresh blueberries (which Jewel had on sale, thank you.)

I started with 2 cups of ketchup, about a half cup of brown sugar, a liberal dose of liquid smoke, molasses, 1 cup of blueberry balsamic, a pinch of sea salt and some black pepper. I then added the puree, brought it to a boil, and let it simmer for an hour.

It was freaking awesome.

Only had to grill each breast about 4 minutes per side and they also turned out great. Served it with asparagus, which I just steamed, and my famous grilled potatoes.

I have no idea what this response is supposed to mean, but if you are attacking people with high post counts, you are likely riddled with self-hatred.

I grilled some corn in the husk last night to go along with crab cakes I made and baked potatos...I felt like a Kennedy, except with no liquor in the lemonade.

I wanted to get more of the grilled taste to the kernels but I was afraid they would dry out. Do you husk the corn after grilling and give them an extra couple of minutes or just half husk them at the beginning and let the heat work through the leaves?

I generally husk my corn completely, brush it with a little olive oil, and then throw it on the cooler parts of the grill. Usually takes about 5 minutes that way. Always turns out great.

I leave mine in the husk, let the outer edge blacken on all sides and pull it. It takes roughly 20 minutes on a medium heat grill.

I always leave the husk on and let it blacken up. It smells great when its burning.

We either wrap in tin foil, no husk - kids prefer this or soak, husk on, right on grill

How did you make the crab cakes?
