How To Char-Grill The Perfect New York Strip Steak
I won't eat at a steakhouse. Bold words coming from a red-blooded American carnivore, I know. I won't do it. Take me to a steakhouse and I'm ordering the burger.

In the past when I've ordered steaks it killed my dining experience. I end up sitting and comparing the restaurant steak to my own, I start thinking about what that piece of meat would have cost at Land And Sea, (my amazing local meat market), and I regret paying for something I would have had more fun grilling at home.
The main key to grilling a great steak at home? Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances, ever, ever, shut the lid of the grill. Here's a quick step-by-step guide on how to cook one of America's simplest, yet most amazing main dishes, The New York Strip.
Prep Time: 1 Minute
Marinade Time: 30 minutes with salt.
Cook Time: Varies - between 12 and 18 minutes.
Ingredients:
New York Strip Steak
Kosher or Sea Salt
Canola Grill Spray
Step 1 - Place steaks on a wood cutting board or plate and add salt.
Step 2 - Allow steaks to sit roughly 30 minutes, or until salt has liquefied and soaked into the meat. We want the steaks to get close to room temperature before cooking.
Step 3 - Light grill and heat. Normally I close the lid and turn mine on high for around 5 minutes, then scrape grate with a Grill Daddy or grill brush.
Step 4 - Lightly spray grates with Grill Spray or Canola Oil.
Step 5 - Set steaks on grate over flame.
Step 6 - Allow steaks to char on one side, roughly 4 minutes.
Step 7 - Flip steaks and char opposite side.
Step 8 - Check meat temperature. Using chart below - decide if steak is ready.
Step 9 - Let steak rest 5 minutes!
Step 10 - Eat! You did that!
In the Tampa area- we recommend Land and Sea Market for all of your meat needs!

Fire Wings
Chicken wings are a hugely popular dish these days. Did you know that until 1977 chicken wings were considered trash? They were trimmed and discarded when chickens were prepared for sale. In 1977 in Buffalo, NY, Teressa Bellissimo attempted deep frying the chicken wing and tossed it in a Cayenne Pepper sauce. Needless to say, a new food was born. Chicken wings are now one of the top selling bar foods in the United States.
I'll be posting dozens of different wing recipes as this site grows. It seems every Sunday I make 2 or 3 batches, and I always build different flavors in each batch- trying to find the perfect combination. Cooking is important as well, and the method I grill these with is pretty consistent, regardless of flavoring and marinade.
You will need to invest $5 or so in a meat thermometer to use my recipes. Every grill is different, and I'm not going to risk you eating raw chicken to get some hits on my website. ALWAYS check temp before removing anything on this site from the grill.
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Marinade Time: 4 hours+
Cook Time: 1 hour
Ingredients:
Chicken wing sections
Spicy Dry rub of your choice
Tapatilo Hot Sauce
Soy Sauce
Louisiana Brand Hot Sauce
Garlic Powder
Sriracha
Cayenne Pepper
Canola Oil Spray
Step 1 - Place wings into large Zip Lock baggie.
Step 2 - Add quick pour of Soy Sauce.
Step 3 - Add Garlic Powder, Dry rub, Cayenne Pepper, and all the hot sauces you can find to the bag.
Step 4 - Seat and shake the bag. Make sure all of the wings are coated evenly.
Step 5 - Set aside in fridge to marinate for at least 4 hours.
Step 6 - Fire up grill. Start on high with lid closed. Once grill is hot in a couple of minutes open and clean grates with a Grill Daddy or any grill brush.
Step 7 - Spray grates with Canola Oil spray. (Will help with initial char)
Step 8 - Drain bag over sink, letting all the liquid come out without dumping the wings out.
Step 9 - Place wings on grill - leave lid open and heat on high. We want to leave the wings on with lid open until we have a nice char on all sides, so don't walk away. Keep the spatula and beer handy, and hang out for a few. You will want to continually stir and flip the wings until the outside is charred but not burnt.
Step 10 - Reduce heat to low and turn off all burners but one. Cook over indirect heat on one burner low for roughly 30 minutes, or until internal chicken temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Step 11 - Once you have verified the chicken is 160, turn all burners back on HIGH! Stir the wings up and spread them out.
Step 12 - Spray wings with a light mist of Canola Oil Spray. (This will crisp them.) Stir repeatedly until they are evenly crisped, charred, and look like the picture attached.
NOTE: You can add more hot sauce at any point during the grilling. Just depends on how hot you want the wings. Cayenne Pepper will really bring the heat level up if added on this BBQ.
Step 13 - ENJOY! You did that!

Honey Garlic Chicken
An old standby, Honey Garlic Chicken is just as good for a Wednesday night as it is for football on Sunday. It's easy, it's quick, and it's awesome. Let's bang this one out- the family is hungry!
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Marinade Time: Overnight
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 cut up whole chicken
Dry rub of your choice. For these I used Weber Brand Honey Garlic rub.
Soy Sauce
Canola Oil
Step 1 - Place chicken in large plastic bag. Add a little Soy Sauce and a liberal amount of Honey Garlic rub. Agitate the bag, mixing chicken around to be sure it is evenly covered in rub and Soy. Place in fridge for tomorrow.
Step 2 - After chicken has been in marinade at least 4 hours - you are ready to cook it!
Step 3 - Light grill and burn off. I start my grill on high heat and leave the lid closed for about 5 minutes to burn off any residual stuff from last cook. Then clean with Grill daddy or similar grill brush.
Step 4 - Open grill lid and spray grates with Grill Spray or Olive Oil.
Step 5 - Apply chicken and leave on high heat with lid open until lightly charred.
Step 6 - Flip chicken and char opposite side.
Step 7 - Once both sides of chicken have a nice char, reduce heat to medium low and close lid.
Step 8 - Cook at low heat for around 10 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to make sure chicken has reached an internal temp of 160 degrees.
Step 9 - Once chicken is internally 160 degrees, open lead and put grill back up to high heat.
Step 10 - Lightly spray chicken with Canola or Olive Oil and allow to crisp a bit. Do this on both sides. This will give it a bit of crunch.
Step 11 - Mess with grill marks by moving chicken to hot parts of grate if you want. Make it pretty! Appearance is half the fun when serving your family or guests.
Step 12 - EAT!
