Grilling

:wootsmiley: Got the grill going and the spa heaten up! :D

Any good marinating recipies for future use?

I usually just marinated the Sirloins in beer, teriyaki sauce, pepper & season salt

Marinate in a plastic bag with Seven Seas Viva Italian dressing for a few hours. Brush some on while they are grilling too. You will be telling all your friends about your new "secret recipe". :beer:

My favorite "Grilling recipe" from the "Big Damn Book of Sheer Manliness" by the Hoffman Brothers.

Macon's Politically Incorrect Salt Steak.

Ingredients:

1 Large Sirloin Steak 1 1/2 - 2 inches thick

6 sheets of newspaper

1 large bowl of kosher rock salt

2 jars of lawry's lemon peper

1 jar of whole pepper corns

1 bottle of worcestershire sauce

1 jar of grey poupon mustard

1 roll of masking tape

10 lb bag of charcoal

1 giant bucket of water.

Start... Drink a adult beverage and

Lay your fire 6 inches thick at minimum. (make sure the grill is off)

Replinish beverage and mix spices.. (salt, pepper corns, leomon pepper) in a big bowl.

Law the 6 sheets of newspaper open and plunk the steak down in the middle of it. Open the jar of mustard and slather 1 side of the meat with 1/4th and inch layer of mustard. (Make sure people watch you prepare this for best effect).

Now grab several handfulls of spices and plaster it into the mustard. Enough spice that no mustard gets on your hand when tapping it, then dump worcestershire on it to color the whole thing brown. Carefully turn the steak over and repeat process on opposite side.

When done wrap it up in the paper, secure it with the masking tape (use as little tape as possible) once secure dump the package into the bucket of water.Replinish drink.

Let it soak until your fire is fully engaged... (almost hot enough to melt the grill) Then take out the package, squeeze out the excess water and throw directly onto the coals. (Pray to the charcoal gods that your fire does not go out from this). Allow about 10 minutes per side (the paper should be smoldering and close to catching fire). Rescue the package from the fire and using your now empty water bucket scrape the paper mustard and spices off the meat. Your steak should looks sickly white.

Put the grill back on above the coals and brown the steak for 3 to 5 minutes per side until it looks like beef again. Slice into 1/4 an inch strips and serve.

The steam from the newspaper will marinate the meat with the flavor of the spices and mustard while leaving the original juices in the meat as well.

Enjoy and remember not to overcook your meat or else it turns into jerky.

    • Oh that's cool.   Probably better articles too
    • I get emails from the mag and they have started to put early issues into an archive with the Cincinnatti public library.   it's facinating to look at the old copies, especially the ads for the various products.   EG sign lights with a hooded reflector don't seem to have changed much in design since the 1920's.    I've put a link to the archive below.  i hope they keep doing this because i'd love to see issues from the 1960's/70's when i first started helping my Dad.   https://digital.cincinnatilibrary.org/digital/collection/p16998coll17/search/searchterm/Collection of SmartWork Media/field/source/mode/exact/conn/and/order/datea/ad/asc
    • A long time ago I did a comparison between the different colors of neon with my eldest daughter.  It was for a science fair project.   We took 7-8 different neon samples (i had a ton at the time) and put a light meter on the various colors.   Clear red put out the most light by a good margin.   i don't have the info anymore because that was about 30 years ago but it does make sense to put red LED's behind red plex.    And we used to put red neon behind red faces - way back when - so red modules behind red faces is logical.  
    • We had a long time Mexican Restaurant customer switch out his clear red 15 mm neon for LEDs.  He thought our price was too high for LEDs so he used an unexperienced sign company and they installed cheap white Chinese LEDs behind his old faces. His faces went from red to pink (rosa) at night. Needless to say he wasn’t happy with pink faces… He pointed this out to the other Sign company, but they would not fix it. Plus, they had no clue what they were doing with the parking lot lighting as they tried replacing 400 W metal halide lamps with LEDs. He immediately called us to fix his parking lot lights because he was losing business because his parking lot was dark. He lived with the pink letters at night for a while and just recently hired us to install red LEDs and remove the white ones. He’s happy now with red faces again at night.
    • This is a great comparison to show why it's always best to use Red LEDs behind Red Faces, and not use White for everything.     On the left is the one of the brightest white LEDs on the market...The .8watt BrightON II LED Module, on the right the BrightON Ruby Red…also .8 watts per module and probably thee brightest Red LED module on the Market.          When we put a 7328 White acrylic sign face over the white we get a luminance of 240 Foot Candles of Light right on the sign surface .  Now we’ll switch the White acrylic with another 7328 White Acrylic with 3M Red 3630-30 Applied Translucent vinyl and see the results.         Red is very hard to capture using an iPhone, but believe me…..in person the contrast between the channels that has the White LEDS vs the Red LEDs is large.  The Red is overwhelmingly brighter than the White with a luminance on the sign face with 47 Foot Candles….and the White LEDs with a luminance of ONLY 18 Foot Candles.         When using White LEDs behind a Red face you will lose 50% of the luminance on the sign face based on how the lens filters the wavelengths.  This is why it’s best to use Colors behind Colors….Most of the time!
