CARIBBEAN GRILL
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.

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.
