Grilled Meat & Fish Recipes By Nazzareno Casha

Introduction Grilling is a form of cooking that involves dry heat applied to the surface of food, commonly from above or below.

Grilling usually involves a significant amount of direct, radiant heat, and tends to be used for cooking meat quickly. Food to be grilled is cooked on a grill (an open wire grid such as a gridiron with a heat source above or below) a grill pan (similar to a frying pan, or griddle (a flat plate heated from below). Heat transfer to the food when using a grill is primarily through thermal radiation. Heat is transfer when using a grill pan or griddle is by direct conduction.

Direct heat grilling can expose food to temperatures often in excess of 260 °c. Grilled meat acquires a distinctive roast aroma and flavour from a chemical process called the Mallard reaction.

The Mallard reaction only occurs when foods reach temperatures in excess of 155 °c .One of the characteristics of food cooked on a grill are the grill marks from the grate or rack.

Char grilled Rump Steak, Potato Salad and Garlic Mayonnaise

This tasty potato salad makes a great side to a simple char-grilled steak. Take the time to rest the steak after it comes off the heat. If given the time to rest the steaks will lose less juice when you cut them and they’ll be juicier and tastier.

Ingredients 4 x 200g rump steaks  Potato  600

salad

g small potatoes, washed

2 tsp olive oil 1 red capsicum, thickly sliced lengthways 2 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed

Method Brush the steaks lightly with oil. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.

Preheat the barbecue flat-plate or char-grill plate to hot before adding the steaks.

Cook on one side until the first sign of moisture appears. Turn steaks once only. Test the steaks for degree of doneness with tongs. Rare is soft, medium feels springy and well done is very firm.

Remove steaks from heat, loosely cover with foil and rest steaks for 5 minutes before serving. To serve, place the steaks on plates, top steaks with mayonnaise, add a spoonful of potato salad.

To make the Potato salad: Cook potatoes until just tender, and then thickly slice. Drizzle the potatoes with a little of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Brush the capsicum with half the remaining oil. Cook on grill for 2 minutes each side or until tender. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Sprinkle the asparagus with remaining olive oil. Cook on grill for two minutes each side or until bright green and tender crisp. Place the potato, capsicum, asparagus and parsley in a large bowl.

Grilled Veal Escallops A` la Chef Reno

Ingredients 60ml sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped 375g bread crumbs 180g grated Parmesan cheese 1 beaten egg 6og fresh parsley, chopped ½ teaspoon garlic powder Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 4 large veal scallops, weighing about 145 g each 30ml vegetable oil

625ml tomato sauce

Method Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, bread, Parmesan cheese, egg, and parsley and garlic powder in a bowl. Adjust seasoning and set aside.

Preheat the griddle pan to high.

Place the veal escalope on a working surface and top with the stuffing.

Roll up each escalope, making sure to keep stuffing inside, and secure with string.

Brush each roll with oil and place on grill pan.

Reduce heat to medium and cook for 8 minutes or until meat is cooked through (turn a few times during cooking).

In the meantime, heat the tomato sauce on low.

Serve the veal rolls on a bed of tomato sauce along with some pasta and seasonal vegetables.

Veal is juiciest when it is grilled. Unlike beef, most cuts of veal are appropriate for the grill; however, veal chops are the most commonly used for the grill because they are among the thickest and most tender of all the veal cuts. Veal chops do not require a marinade, but you may choose to make one out of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic or some combination of the three to flavour the veal before you grill it.

Grilling on a grill pan is very easy‌ and very quick...

Grilling fillets and steaks: The technique for grilling fish steaks and fillets is very similar. The most important things to remember are:   



Direct heat, because they cook quickly High heat, to help prevent sticking For fillets, make sure they're thick, meaty ones like salmon, halibut and snapper. Thin fillets like flounder or tilapia are too delicate for the grill, and prone to overcooking.

A super-clean cooking grate is the secret to preventing sticking. To get it very clean, preheat the grill thoroughly on high heat, then use a grill brush to clean off any bits of protein or sauce sticking to the bars.

Always coat your fish with some sort of oil or fat to prevent sticking. The fillets you're grilling for the fish tacos are marinated in olive oil and spices. The tuna steaks are wrapped in bacon, which not only helps keep them from sticking but gives them that smoky bacon flavour. For extra insurance against sticking, you can also brush the grill grates with a little oil.

For just about any type of fish, you want to cook with the lid down. The only exception is plain tuna steaks if you want to keep the center rare; in this case, leave the lid up. Cook the first side of the fish a little longer than the second. This gives the fish nice sear marks for a good presentation, and it also helps the fish release from the grill without sticking.

The usual rule of thumb for cooking time--10 minutes per inch of thickness--tends to produce overcooked fish on the grill. For steaks and fillets, 8 minutes per inch of thickness is a better guideline.

Grilling whole fish Whole fish isn't too much trickier than fillets or steaks, but in this case you want to use indirect heat instead of direct. So set up your gas grill for a two-zone fire, and place the whole fish in the cool zone from the start. As with steaks and fillets, keep the lid down.

Again, coat the fish with fat. The whole trout in this video are brushed with mayonnaise, a great fat for grilling fish, because it clings well to the fish. Even if you're not a mayo fan, give it a try; the flavour of the mayonnaise really disappears in the cooking.

When it comes to turning, use a gentle hand. A fish spatula, with its thin, angled blade and widely spaced tines, is an essential tool. Even better is two fish spatulas: place them side-by-side and slide them under the fish, so the whole fish is cradled as you lift it up to flip.

For whole fish, the 10-minute-per-inch rule is a good guideline. Whole fish are actually a little easier to judge doneness than fillets, because they are already slit through to the centre. Just peek inside cavity and use the point of a knife to test the meat right next to the backbone. It should separate easily, and be just barely opaque.

When the fish is done, let it rest 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED TUNA STEAKS

INGREDIENTS 4 x 200g tuna steaks 1 Fish Stock Cube 200g cherry tomatoes 100g pitted green olives 100g black olives 2tbsps capers 7tbsps olive oil 2tbsps lemon juice Fresh herbs to garnish (e.g. parsley, marjoram, basil)

METHOD Cut the olives in halves. Put them in a large bowl with the capers. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the bowl. Make this ‘niçoise’ garnish an hour before and refrigerate. Combine the garnish with a dressing made up of one part lemon to three parts olive oil before serving.

Pre-heat the griddle pan. The secret to grilling at home is to make sure the pan is very hot as the last thing you want is your steak sticking to the pan. While it heats up, season the tuna steak with a paste made of a tablespoon of olive oil combined with one fish stock Cube. Massage it into each tuna steak on both sides.

Place the steaks on the pan. To cook them so they’re still rare in the middle, it will take about 2 minutes on each side for tuna steaks that are about an inch thick. Take them off the heat to cook the second side. Spoon over the tuna steaks the garnish, draining off the oil. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and a little olive oil, then season with sea salt if needed.

Grill pans are available in 2 basic sizes. The first is an oblong shape that is designed to fit over 2 burners. These pans are great for entertaining as they can handle a large amount of food, and they often have a flat surface on the reverse side for making pancakes, grilled cheeses and the like. The other size is a smaller pan, with a single handle and a diameter of around 12 inches (30 cm). These are ideal for single­person cooking, and they don't take up much space.

Grill pans usually have either a cast iron cooking surface, or a non­stick surface. Cast iron is generally the best choice, because its heavy weight will allow it to emulate the incredibly high temperatures achieved in an outdoor grill. Non­stick surfaces can be easier to clean, however.

Remove any protective coating . Cast iron pans often come with a protective coating on them to prevent them from rusting on the store shelf. Remove this coating before use by scrubbing the pan thoroughly with water and a scouring pad.

Season your grill pan. In order to prevent rust and to keep food from sticking, cast iron pans need to be seasoned before use. To do this, pour some vegetable oil on a paper towel and then rub the paper towel around the pan, leaving a thin layer of oil covering the entire pan. Place the pan in an oven for an hour at 176 . The pan will be ready for use after this seasoning.

Cook your food using the grill pan. Treat the grill pan similarly to how you would treat an outdoor grill. Brush the griddle lightly with oil before placing the food onto it, and cook using only high heat. Using a grill pan on low or medium heat will cause food to stick. Note that cooking with a grill pan can generate a good bit of smoke, so make sure to turn on your fume hood and open a window.

Clean your grill pan very soon after use. If you can't clean it sufficiently with water and a scouring pad, pour some sea salt onto the pan and scrub it with the scouring pad. This should remove any built­up food. Avoid using soap on a cast iron pan. Doing so will undo any seasoning work that you have invested into it.

Season and store the pan. After cleaning the grill pan, dry it thoroughly with a towel; allowing it to air dry will invite rust. Before storing it, rub another light coat of vegetable oil into it with a paper towel. After each use of the pan, rubbing it with vegetable oil will continue to season it, and it will perform better and better with age.

Grilling is

a form of cooking that involves dry heat applied to the

surface of food, commonly from above or below. Stove-top pan grilling is an indoor cooking process that uses a grill pan — similar to a frying pan but with raised ridges to emulate the function or look of a gridiron. This is a great way of preparing foods fast with less oil than frying, making it a healthier way of cooking indoors. The open griddle pan indoor grilling method works well with thin cuts of meat like steaks, chops, seafood, fish, and chicken and turkey fillets.
