The Perfect Burger

Serves 4
Bobby Flay, TV chef and grill master, shares his recipe for the perfect burger.

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Total Time: 20 min

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds ground chuck (80 percent lean) or ground turkey (90 percent lean)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 slices cheese (optional)
  • 4 hamburger buns, split; toasted, if desired

Instructions

  1. Divide the meat into 4 equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into a 3/4-inch-thick burger and make a deep depression in the center with your thumb. Season both sides of each burger with salt and pepper.
  2. IF USING A GRILL: Heat a gas grill to high or heat coals in a charcoal grill until they glow bright orange and ash over. Brush the burgers with the oil. Grill the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese; see step 3) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
  3. IF USING A GRILL PAN: Heat a grill pan over high heat on top of the stove. Cook the burgers as for a grill, above.
  4. IF USING A SAUTE PAN OR GRIDDLE (PREFERABLY CAST IRON): Heat the oil in the pan or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer.
  5. Cook the burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the first side, about 3 minutes for beef and 5 minutes for turkey. Flip over the burgers. Cook beef burgers until golden brown and slightly charred on the second side, 4 minutes for medium rare (3 minutes if topping with cheese) or until cooked to desired degree of doneness. Cook turkey burgers until cooked throughout, about 5 minutes on the second side.
  6. Add the cheese, if using, to the tops of the burgers during the last minute of cooking and top with a basting cover, close the grill cover, or tent the burgers with aluminum foil to melt the cheese.
  7. Sandwich the hot burgers between the buns and serve immediately.

Grilled Prosciutto and Mozzarella Panini

Serves 4
A really delicious sandwich and incredibly easy to make.

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 8 min
Total Time: 18 min

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 (1/2-inch thick) slices ciabatta or other rustic Italian white bread
  • 4-ounces thinly sliced mozzarella cheese
  • 4-ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 6-ounces jarred sun dried tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Whisk the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl to blend.
  2. Arrange the slices of bread on a flat work surface, and using a brush, spread the vinaigrette evenly over one side of each slice. Divide the mozzarella equally among the bread slices. Top 4 of the bread slices with the prosciutto and sun dried tomatoes, and then place the remaining 4 slices of bread on the top, vinaigrette-side down, to form 4 sandwiches.
  3. Press down on each sandwich so it is compacted. Lightly brush each roll on both sides with oil.
  4. Brush the cooking grates clean. Place the sandwiches on the cooking grate over direct low heat. Put a sheet pan on top of the sandwiches and then add two foil-wrapped bricks on the sheet pan. Grill, with the lid open, until the bread is toasted on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Carefully remove the bricks and sheet pan, turn the sandwiches over, replace the pan and bricks, and continue to cook until the bread is toasted on both sides and the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes more.
  5. Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut them in half, or into smaller pieces if serving as an appetizer.
  6. Serve warm.

Grilled Chicken Legs And Thighs

Grilled Chicken Legs And Thighs

Grilled Chicken Legs And Thighs

There’s nothing quite like the dark, juicy meat of a chicken leg or thigh. The extra fat found in these parts keep the meat moist, making it a forgiving cut to throw on a grill.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Season chicken pieces with oil and All-Purpose Rub.
  2. Preheat grill to medium (About 50 charcoal briquettes) using a two-zone fire. You can add wood chunks or chips to the coals after the grill is heated.
  3. When the grill is ready place the chicken pieces directly over the coals skin side down.
  4. After 5-8 minutes move the chicken to the coal-free side of the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes with the lid closed. The internal temperature of the chicken should be about 180 degrees when ready.
  5. If still not done after 20 minutes place the pieces that still need the skin crisp over direct heat and cook all pieces for an extra 5 minutes.
  6. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

So lets get to it! You will need Russet potatoes and you will cook them by the indirect method.

Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 60 min

Ingredients

  • Russet potatoes

  2. Coat with olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper and wrap in aluminum foil.
  3. Poke a few small holes in the aluminum foil to allow the smoke to penetrate while grilling.

  5. Using tongs very carefully remove the foil from the potatoes.
  6. Serve with butter, sour cream, bacon bits and chives.
