Great Grilling Marinade



Beef Pepper Steak - Crown Style

You will need:

    1 beef chuck roast (2 to 3 pounds)
    1 bottle Taste of Gourmet Great Grilling Marinade
    1 onion sliced
    2 green bell peppers sliced
    (1 tablespoon cornstarch mix with 1/2 cup water - optional)

Cut the beef roast into thin narrow slices. Put the beef into a glass bowl and pour enough Great Grilling Marinade over the beef to cover it and marinate it thoroughly! I like for it to sit overnight but 2 days is even better! Put the sliced onion and green pepper into a large saucepan. Cook on top of the stove for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are wilted, but not browned. Add the meat, with all of the marinade, to the pan and simmer slowly for an hour, or until the beef is tender. The Pepper Steak juices are very flavorful, but thin for a "gravy." If you prefer a thicker sauce - add the cornstarch and water mixture to the pan slowly and stir until it is well mixed. Serve the Pepper Steak over rice, boiled white potatoes or noodles. Keeps extremely well refrigerated and will freeze nicely.


Sugar Buster Sweet Potatoes

You will need:

    2 fresh sweet potatoes
    1 jar of Great Grilling Marinade

Microwave the potatoes until done. (About 5 minutes.) Do not peel the skin off the potatoes! Allow the potatoes to cool then slice them into one inch pieces. Choose a flat baking dish or pan large enough to hold the sliced potatoes. Pour enough Great Grilling Marinade into the pan to cover the bottom. Add the potatoes and allow the potatoes to absorb the marinade for a little while - then serve. Use as a vegetable side dish or unusual appetizer!

Chicken Drumettes with Great Grilling Marinade

You will need:

    1 bottle of Taste of Gourmet Great Grilling Marinade
    Chicken Drumettes from the grocery store ( you might have to ask for them)

Marinate the chicken drumettes for 2 to 3 days in the Great Grilling Marinade. Decide how many you need for your party - most people will eat 3 or 4. Put the chicken in a large bowl with room to stir and sprinkle the Marinade over the chicken. (Remember how strong the Great Grilling Marinade tastes so you won't need all of the bottle unless you are doing hundreds!) Stir the meat well to be sure you've used enough Marinade. The rich color of the Marinade should touch each piece of chicken and start to change it immediately! When you are ready to cook, place the Drumettes, with the marinade over them, in one layer in a baking pan. Cook at 350 degrees, covered, for about 30 to 45 minutes. Check that the chicken is done, but is still securely on the bone. People do eat them with their fingers. You can cook the Drumettes several hours ahead of the party and heat them gently in the oven before serving. Pile onto a platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley or chopped fresh cilantro. (or even finely chopped green onions)


Indonesian Chicken with Great Grilling Marinade

You will need:

    6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
    Great Grilling Marinade
    Wooden skewers ‚ soaked overnight in water

Cut the chicken breast lengthwise into 2 or 3 long strips. Use enough of our Great Grilling Marinade to coat the strips ‚ the flavor is intense, so you do not need to soak the meat in the marinade. Let the chicken marinate at least overnight, but 2 or 3 days will make it wonderful! Thread the chicken onto the skewers and lay flat on a dish until ready to grill. Grill over a light fire until the chicken is just done. It will not take long to cook because the pieces are not large. Don¼t over cook. (These are almost as good just broiled in the oven so cook them year round!) Serve immediately ‚ but you can make extras and eat the cold! Fabulous party food!
