GREEN BEANS GRILLED IN FOIL



Green Beans Grilled in Foil image

While grilling out, we decided to try grilling fresh green beans. After having this, we will never have green beans another way. I use my own mixture of 'silly salt' for this recipe--equal amounts of pepper, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder, but seasoned salt works as well.

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 sheets of aluminum foil
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
12 teaspoons butter, or more to taste
1 pinch seasoned salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Layer 2 sheets of aluminum foil on a work surface to create a double sheet. Repeat with remaining foil to make a total of 4 double sheets.

GRILLED HANGER STEAK WITH A ROASTED SHALLOT PORT DEMI SAUCE AND GRILLED GARLIC GREEN BEANS



Grilled Hanger Steak with a Roasted Shallot Port Demi Sauce and Grilled Garlic Green Beans image

The hanger steak is a thick strip of meat from the underside of the beef cow. It hangs between the rib and the loin and is part of the diaphragm. It is similar to the skirt steak because it is full of flavor but can become tough if it is not prepared correctly. This can be a really nice cut of meat to serve your family without paying too much for it. I am going to give you detailed instructions on how to do just that. Enjoy!

Provided by Chef Shelley Pogue

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 (6 ounce) hanger steaks - fat and silver skin trimmed
1 ½ tablespoons canola oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup canola oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup water
¼ cup white sugar
4 whole shallots
3 fluid ounces port wine
1 cup demi glace
½ cup butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • Lightly cover the steaks with canola oil and season generously with salt and pepper; cover and place in refrigerator until ready to grill.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat, and lightly oil the grate. Place a sheet of aluminum foil on about 1/3 of the grill surface.
  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Cook the green beans in the boiling water until heated through yet still firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic and 1/4 cup of canola oil to the green beans and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • Stir the water, sugar, and shallots together in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves; cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil. Drain the liquid and return the shallots to the pan. Add the port wine and demi glace to the saucepan and place over medium heat; cook until the liquid reduces to about half its original volume. Stir the butter into the mixture until it melts. Remove the pan from the heat. Season with salt as needed. Keep the saucepan covered until the steaks are prepared.
  • Spread the green beans onto the part of the grill prepared with aluminum foil and allow to finish cooking while grilling the steaks.
  • Cook the steaks until they start to firm, and are reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 130 degrees F (54 degrees C). Allow the steaks to rest 5 minutes before placing onto individual plates. Spoon the sauce over the steaks. Serve the green beans on the side.

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus a little to drizzle
2 medium yellow skinned onions, 1 finely chopped, divided, 1 thinly sliced
3 cups chicken stock, divided
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, 5 or 6 sprigs, chopped
1 1/2 cups white rice
1 (14-ounce) can black beans
2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend ( recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 lime
3 green plantains (they like green bananas and are available in produce department)
Waxed paper
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, cracked away from skin and finely chopped
1 pound small shrimp, peeled, deveined and coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper
1 lemon
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
Hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and half of the finely chopped onion. Saute 3 minutes, then season with 2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball the measurement in the palm of your hand, and the thyme leaves. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock and raise heat to bring to a boil. Add rice and lower heat to simmer when boil resumes. Cover pot tightly. After 12 minutes, stir in black beans and replace cover. Cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Turn off rice and beans, season with salt and stir to combine then let stand until ready to serve. While rice cooks, make plantains with shrimp and the meat.
  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. The meat can also be prepared in a hot, large cast iron or nonstick skillet if you do not have a grill pan.
  • Place flank steak in a shallow dish and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to coat ¿ about 2 tablespoons. Mix grill seasoning with 1 tablespoon cumin, eyeball the measurement in your palm. Add the zest of 1 lime to the grill seasoning and cumin. Rub the mixture over the steak evenly. Wash up and cut lime into wedges and reserve. Place the steak on hot grill or in hot pan and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turn and cook 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and let juices redistribute 5 minutes.
  • Slit the skins of the plantains from end to end to vent them for microwave cooking. Wrap them each in wax paper, twisting up paper at ends. Microwave the plantains 4 to 5 minutes together or 90 seconds each individually on high.
  • While plantains and steak cook, place a medium nonstick skillet on the heat over a high flame. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and the sliced onions. Sear the onions up and heat through, but leave a bite to them. Place on a platter and cover with foil to reserve heat. Return pan to stove and reduce heat to between medium high and medium. Add 2 tablespoons extra, 2 turns of the pan, and the remaining finely chopped onion, the bell pepper, garlic and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and add the zest of 1 lemon. Cook until shrimp are firm and peppers begin to soften, 4 minutes or so. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon, the tomato sauce and parsley. Turn off heat.
  • Peel and mash the steaming hot plantains with remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Season the plantains with salt and pile on platter or dinner plates then top with garlicky shrimp and tomatoes. Very thinly slice the cooked steak on an angle, working against the grain. Squeeze lime juice over the meat and arrange over the cooked sliced onions on serving platter. Fluff up rice and black beans a bit, transfer them to a bowl and pass at table.

GRILLED SCALLOPS, ZUCCHINI, AND SCALLIONS WITH WHITE BEANS



Grilled Scallops, Zucchini, and Scallions with White Beans image

Categories     Bean     Backyard BBQ     Scallop     Zucchini     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Gourmet

Number Of Ingredients 12

eight 10-inch wooden skewers
a 15 1/2-ounce can small white beans
1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro sprigs
1 lemon
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
8 large scallions
2 medium zucchini
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
24 large sea scallops (about 1 1/4 pounds)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Garnish: fresh cilantro sprigs

Steps:

  • Prepare grill. Soak skewers in warm water 30 minutes.
  • In a colander rinse and drain beans. Chop cilantro. Squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from lemon. In a bowl toss together beans, cilantro, lemon juice, mustard, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a saucepan of boiling salted water blanch scallions until barely tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer scallions with tongs to paper towels to drain and season with salt and pepper. Cut zucchini lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices using a mandoline or other manual slicer and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a bowl combine kosher salt, cumin, and pepper to taste. Remove tough muscle from side of each scallop if necessary and pat scallops dry. Toss scallops in cumin mixture to coat. Hold 2 skewers parallel to each other and about 1/2 inch apart. Thread 6 scallops onto skewers so flat sides can lie flat on grill. (Each scallop should be pierced by both skewers. This prevents scallops from spinning when turning them over on grill.) Thread remaining scallops onto remaining skewers in same manner. Brush scallops with oil.
  • Grill scallions and zucchini on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until zucchini is tender and scallions are golden, about 1 minute on each side. Grill scallops, turning occasionally, until just cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side. (If grilling is out of the question, scallions, zucchini, and scallops-not on skewers-can all be cooked in a large nonstick skillet: Lightly brush skillet with oil and heat over moderately high heat until hot before cooking vegetables and scallops separately.)
  • Toss zucchini with beans and serve topped with scallions and scallops and garnished with cilantro.

  • Cook beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain; transfer to a large bowl of ice water to chill. Drain beans; pat dry. Transfer beans, remaining 1 tablespoon marjoram, and shallot to a medium bowl; toss with enough reserved dressing to coat and season with salt and pepper.
  • Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Remove pork chops from bag, scraping off excess dressing. Grill chops, turning occasionally on all sides, until browned and cooked through, about 20 minutes total. (Be sure to cook thick chops on the edges, too, and melt the thin strips of white fat; they'll cook more evenly.)
  • Place peaches in a medium bowl; drizzle with some olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat. Grill peaches, cut side down, until they begin to soften and char, 4-6 minutes. Transfer pork and peaches to a cutting board; let pork rest for 10 minutes.
  • Slice peaches. Carve bones from pork and thinly slice meat. Serve pork and peaches with bean salad.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for the grill
2 tablespoons jarred tandoori marinade
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon plain 2% Greek yogurt
4 lamb blade chops (6 to 7 ounces each; 1/2 inch thick)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for topping
3 cloves garlic (1 clove finely grated, 2 sliced)
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 pound green beans, trimmed and halved
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium high and lightly oil the grates. Mix the tandoori marinade and 1 tablespoon yogurt in a small bowl. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper. Rub all over with the yogurt mixture. Let sit at room temperature, 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt with 1 tablespoon water, the cilantro, grated garlic, lemon juice, 2 pinches of salt and a grind of pepper in a small bowl.
  • Toss the green beans, tomatoes, vegetable oil, sliced garlic, cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Spread out the vegetables on a large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold to seal; fold in the sides to form a packet.
  • Place the packet on the grill and cook until the vegetables are lightly charred and the tomatoes start to burst, about 10 minutes. Grill the lamb chops 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium doneness. Divide the lamb and vegetables among plates. Top with cilantro and serve with the yogurt sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender beans: Look for beans that are bright green, plump, and free of blemishes.
  • Trim the beans: Remove the stem ends and any tough strings from the beans.
  • Parboil the beans (optional): Parboiling the beans for a few minutes before grilling helps them cook evenly and reduces their cooking time.
  • Season the beans simply: A simple seasoning of olive oil, salt, and pepper is all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the beans.
  • Grill the beans over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Turn the beans frequently: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the beans until they are tender-crisp: You should still be able to see a slight crunch when you bite into them.
  • Serve the beans immediately: Grilled beans are best served hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Grilled beans are a simple, delicious, and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. With just a few minutes of prep time, you can have a tasty and nutritious dish that the whole family will love. So next time you're firing up the grill, be sure to add some beans to the menu!
