ISO - Rubs and Marinades

[blazedog]

I want to do some easy mindless cooking -- marinate chicken breasts or salmon and/or use a rub and then throw on the grill (indoor in my case :D :D

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

This is one of our favorites. Simple, flavorful and tender.

Hanger Steak with Olive Oil and Herbs
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
One 1-pound hanger/skirt steak
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 oz. small potatoes, quartered
5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup coarsely chopped herbs

Combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and maple syrup. Coat steak with the mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate 2 hours at room temperature. About an hour before serving, heat oven to 375. Coat potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper and roast crisp. Keep warm. Heat grill. Grill steaks. Set aside. Warm remaining olive oil in a small skillet, add herbs and cook about 30 seconds, until herbs are fragrant. Pour herbs and oil over potatoes and steaks. Serve. Serves 2.

This recipe is great with chicken. It makes a lot, so you may want to adjust accordingly.

We did a great one this weekend right out of joy of cooking.

Chili crusted flank steak (I'm sure it would be just as great with chix) with Mango Salsa.

I dont have the recipe with me so I don't have exact amounts but the rub was:

chili powder
cumin
salt
pepper

The mango salsa:

chopped mango
cilantro
red pepper
lime juice
red onion
a splash of oj

it was delicious :D

This must be from the New Joy of Cooking -- sounds good, but I don't think I'll find it in my trusty old book. I bought 4 new cookbooks over the weekend, am looking at another, and you're trying to get my to buy another one, aren't you? Aren't you??? ;) :p

lol! I never had the old one but I did splurge when the newer edition came out...I think it's worth it Beth! I think a lot of people make the mistake and think JOC is all really about method and sort of a "how to" book, but every recipe I have tried in there has been really good :)

THE ONLY MARINADE YOU'LL EVER NEED
You can use it as both a marinade and a basting sauce. If marinating poultry, meat, or seafood, simply set a portion aside for basting.
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea), or to taste
4 strips of lemon zest
3 cloves garlic, crushed with the side of a cleaver or minced
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil, cilantro, dill, oregano, or a mix of all four
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

Combine the lemon juice, hot pepper flakes, cracked pepper, and salt in a nonreactive (glass, ceramic, or stainless steel) bowl and whisk until the salt crystals are dissolved. Add the lemon zest, garlic, parsley and basil. Stir or whisk in the olive oil. The virtue of this marinade is its freshness: Use it within 1 to 2 hours of making. Stir again before using.

Drive Your Neighbors Nuts Grilled Chicken

Recipe By :Terry
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chicken Grilling


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method


Cut chickens in quarters, leave the skin on. Mix together:
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbl salt
2 tbl mild chili powder
2 tbl hot chili powder ( I used Gebherts)
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp Mex. oregano
1 tsp coriander
2 tsp dry mustard
1 1/2 tbl minced lemon zest ( I used dried-purchased)
1-1/2 tsp onion salt
1-1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp ground ginger
2 tsp fresh ground pepper

Loosen the skin on the chicken pieces, and put a generous amount of the combined spices under the skin. Then sprinkle generous all over the chicken, both sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hrs, the longer the better. Start up the grill, cook and smoke until done. Use a little pecan, apple or whatever wood to get the smoke going. The rub is enough to do 2 chickens. Also good on pork!
