While organization is essential, "grilling should be casual and festive," Flay is quick to add. He recommends taking a family-style approach to entertaining and serving everything in big bowls or platters. The same goes for drinks: Rather than make individual cocktails during the party, Flay suggests preparing a big batch of his Blackberry Mojitos ahead of time.
Two hours before the party, muddle the mint, blackberries, and agave syrup in the bottom of a large pitcher, add the rum and lime juice, then cover and refrigerate the mixture until it's very cold.
When your guests arrive, simply pour this fruity concoction over ice, add a splash of lime-flavored club soda and a lime slice, and serve. A smoker makes a great addition to any backyard kitchen, yet as Flay explains in his hot-smoked salmon recipe , it's possible to smoke foods in a charcoal or gas grill.
For example, for this recipe, arrange a drip pan filled with a couple of inches of water on the bottom grill grates and set the grill up for low, indirect grilling. If you're using a charcoal grill, scatter presoaked wood chips over the hot coals, add the cooking grate, and close the grill.
For a gas grill, put the presoaked wood chips in a smoker box or a foil pouch, arrange that on the cooking grates toward the back of the grill, and close the grill. For either grill, open the vents halfway and keep a low cooking temperature. Let the smoke build inside the grill and then start cooking. His top recommendations include fruit cobblers , sliced melon drizzled with lime syrup , grilled stone fruit topped with Greek yogurt, and vanilla ice cream served with a homemade blackberry sauce.
Any of these sweet options offers a delicious and refreshing finish to the meal. A cast-iron skillet works, too. According to Flay, one of the biggest grilling mistakes people make is tossing and turning their burgers, steaks, chicken thighs, and whatever else they're barbecuing. In fact, you should leave it alone and let the grill do its job.
That means you should place set your steak or burger down and don't touch it again until a crisp crust develops and it begins to come away from the grill grates. Once you grill them to perfection using Flay's famous thumbprint hack , top off your perfectly pink patties with potato chips. It's a trick he's been doing since childhood. There are plenty of surprising foods you should be grilling — like pickles, pineapple, and even pound cake.
But there's one thing that Flay who's grilled everything from lamb chops to mangos thinks you need to try ASAP. More specifically, he suggests tuna or swordfish, which won't flake or fall apart the way salmon or red snapper might. Just dress it lightly in olive oil, sprinkle some salt, and place it directly on the grill grates.
Again, let it be. After that it's like magic. I love this recipe because the steak is smoky and savory while the salad is bright and fresh. It's exactly how I like to eat in the summer! I love the beefy flavor of skirt steak. It is best grilled and can stand up to strong flavors such as cumin and chile powders. Also, the salad is packed with super summery ingredients like tomatoes, fresh corn, ripe avocados and lots of fresh fine herbs. IE 11 is not supported.
