Flat Iron Grill Meal Suggestions

[t&y]

So I finally went out and picked up a Blackstone grill. It's fucking amazing and easy to use. I have not done anything complicated on it... tacos of course, quesadilla's, steaks, bacon and eggs, etc.. and I'm learning things just cook different. The juices stay in place vs a gas or charcoal grill. Some things take longer of course... Did some cabob's last night, 7 minutes a side 1" think steak chunks, and holy shit they were so tender they just fell apart when you bit into them.

Definitely sold on this type of cooking, but I've never really been much of a cook...

So I'm looking for suggestions for meals or cooking techniques from you guys. I'm sure there are some pro's on the boards.

Thank you in advance!

Other than pancake breakfasts...

My favorite so far is smashed burgers.

Have the butcher grind up some top sirloin for you and have at it.

I use my own sauce though. And Brioche buns of course.

Fresh cheese and use a Mandoline to slice up the onions jalapeno paper thin. Yum.

Throw some tator tots in the air fryer while you cook the burgers.

One thing to remember with a black stone is that if there is juice on the surface, and that juice is water based, no matter how hot your turn the grill it will only be at water boiling temp until that juice is cooked away.

So if you want a nice crisp and some carmelizing without overcooking you have to drain and pat dry the meat.

Here is a perfect example of how liquid governs temperature by it's boiling point

We did flat bread pizza last week camping. Bought already made flat bread, cooked the pepperonisand veggies on the grill for a few seconds to get them cooked. Put the bread topping side down first and got it hot to touch and staring to crisp, flipped it and put on sauce, cheese and toppings and cooked the bottom side with toppings on. Had to keep the cover on to get the cheese to melt, but they turned out pretty damn good. Takes about 3 to 4 minutes on the first side and 4 to 5 on the bottom. Had half the grill on low the other half on high, cooked them on the low heat side and figured maybe the high side would help with indirect heat with the lid closed. This was camping so it was just the small 2 burner blackstone that I keep in the moho.

We also do chicken, steak and rice hibachi style, thats always a hit also and very quick and easy.

Post #10, these turn out really good. We did find that Smiths carries the meat already thinly sliced in the prepackaged meat section. Were starting to use that instead of slicing our own steaks.

Cut up some white onion, red onion, red/green/yellow bell peppers, mild Italian sausage, Hot Italian sausage, and any other type of peppers you might like. Marinade in Kraft Zesty Italian dressing and your choice of seasonings (I use garlic/salt/pepper mix, Lawry's seasoned salt, and a couple others), then throw on a hot griddle for 10-15 minutes (stirring every couple minutes).

When I do this while we're camping, we don't even need plates as it gets picked right off the Blackstone till it's gone.

Also, cream cheese and Choriso stuffed bacon wrapped jalapeno peppers, topped with some blue cheese is always a hit.

@HNL2LHC ill take that recipe!

1 cup - soy sauce
1 cup - sugar recently I have been using half brown and half white just because I don’t want to be called out as racist. Even though my Filipino step-mother only used white.
3/4 thumb size - Ginger root. Peal ginger root and grate it up. I use a knife where some others use a potato peeler.
4 each - garlic about 4 good sized cloves. Chop/mince

Chili peppers optional to taste if you like a bit of heat. One of the first times that I made my teriyaki for Havasu friends I made half regular half with a bit of heat. Turns out that they ate all the heat and only about half of the regular. I have used about one large spoonful of red chili flakes for the amount of sauce above.

Take the soy sauce and put in a pan on low heat.
Add sugar (racist or not).
Put in garlic and ginger to your taste. I find that if you can taste a hint of the spice you are good.

There is not right or wrong It is your taste. I go with what I have had from my mother growing up. Bring everything to enough heat so that the sugar is dissolved. I will add the chili flakes at the end for whatever reason.

I typically will allow the sauce to cool as if you put the thin meat in it will cook if hot. Place sauce in a plastic container and add the meat. I don’t use metal as once I did there seamed to be a metallic taste to it. I have used Ziplock bags lately as you can really keep the meat in the sauce. I usually do this a day before so that the meat has time to absorb the sauce and be really marinade in the sauce. I will rotate the bag a few times in the 24 hours to keep the meat in the sauce.

The thin meat cook quick. I have used charcoal and gas grills and the Blackstone. I am good will all of these. Blackstone will retain the sauce obviously. I like the charcoal flavoring but kind of got away from wanting to set up the charcoal grill.

Enjoy!!!

Any recipes for the cheese steaks?

Pro secret - stir in some cheese whiz (american is best) and melt it before you top with whatever other cheese you are using. Makes it gooier and so very good.

I got a BS a few years ago when they were all the hype....first couple of meals, I was like this thing is awwwesome...then came the cleaning, and wiping, and cleaning, and wiping, and seasoning and re-seasoning, and wiping, and cleaning...I felt like I had to wipe and clean more then I did cooking...then the rust started....I just gave up and gave the thing away....regular charcoal grill for me and a propane one when I dont have a lot of time...

 

[77charger]

Bought one like 6 years or so ago been great but I like to keep it simple stick to bacon and sliced carne for tacos. Mines a single burner so if it’s cold out or a strong breeze it takes a while to cook.also get some pepper bacon and wrap some asparagus up. Flat grill works really good as it won’t flame up.

Charcoal only gets hotter when it blows so steaks go on charcoal.

French fries...we hate air fried fries so I do them on the Blackstone. Make sure they are thawed, NOT FROZEN and not seasoned. Lube up the griddle with bacon grease and spread the fries in the grease...turn every few minutes and season when done (about 20 minutes).
