Categories     appetizer

Time 33m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 mango, 1/4-inch diced
1/4 red onion, 1/4-inch diced
1/4 red bell pepper, 1/4-inch diced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon curry powder
8 slices fresh Italian bread
1/4 cup honey mustard
8 slices Swiss cheese, (8 ounces)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, mix together mango, red onion, bell pepper, lime juice, sugar, salt, and pepper using a wooden spoon. Set aside until ready for use.
  • In a small bowl using a rubber spatula, mix the butter and curry together. Spread 2 tablespoons of the butter mixture on 1 side of each slice of bread. Place 4 slices of bread on your work surface, buttered side down. Spread the honey mustard on the other side of the bread. Place about 2 tablespoons of the mango salsa on the bread followed by the Swiss cheese. (You may need to fold the cheese slices to fit the bread.) Place the remaining 4 bread slices on top, buttered side up.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of curry butter to a nonstick skillet on medium heat for 2 minutes. Put the sandwiches in the skillet (in batches if necessary) and cover with lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and the cheese has started to melt. Flip the sandwiches with a spatula and press very firmly, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted. Turn once more, press with a spatula, and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from pan and let cool for 3 to 5 minutes. Cut diagonally and serve with extra salsa on the side.

Provided by CaliforniaJan

Categories     Steak

Time 14m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 fluid ounce coconut-flavored rum
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
4 slices onions
6 beef top sirloin steaks, 8 oz. each

Steps:

  • Whisk together the rum, salt, pepper, cinnamon, powder, oregano, sage, vinegar, and lemon juice in a bowl; pour into a gallon-sized, resealable plastic bag. Add the onion and steaks to the marinade. Seal the bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Allow to marinate in refrigerator 3 to 4 hours.
  • Heat the barbecue grill and sear steaks to your preference. Depending on thickness, about 4 minutes per side for medium rare.

Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: Select flavorful cuts of meat that can withstand the high heat of grilling. Beef, pork, and chicken are all good choices.
  • Marinate your meat: Marinating the meat helps tenderize and flavor it. Use a mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids, such as oil, vinegar, or citrus juice.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to high heat before adding the meat. This will help sear the meat and prevent it from sticking.
  • Grill the meat over direct heat: Grill the meat over direct heat for a few minutes per side, or until it reaches the desired doneness.
  • Let the meat rest: After grilling, let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Caribbean grilling is a flavorful and versatile cooking method that can be used to prepare a variety of dishes. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create delicious and authentic Caribbean-style grilled dishes at home. Experiment with different marinades, spices, and grilling techniques to find your favorite combinations. And don't forget to enjoy the process - grilling is a great way to relax and spend time with friends and family.
