Baha Style Chicken Recipe Using the George Foreman Grill
You will need:
- 4 boneless chicken pieces-flatter pieces grill better
- Baha Citrus Marinade (McCormick Grill Mates)
- ¼ cup oil (either olive or vegetable)
- 2 TBSP vinegar
Mix the marinade and refrigerate between 15 minutes to half an hour. This can also be prepared using ¼ cup orange juice, ¼ cup oil and 1 tbsp. honey.
To prepare your own marinade without a mix, use 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 cup honey, 2 TBSP reconstituted or real lemon juice, 1/8 tsp pepper ½ tsp. salt, 3 TBSP oil. Marinate longer, about an hour.
Grill for about 8-10 minutes, or until done. Avoid over-grilling.
Grilled Salmon Recipe on the George Foreman Grill
Nothing is easier than grilled salmon. Brush fillets on both sides with 1 tsp olive oil. Broil for about to 8 minutes until flaky. Prepare one of the sauces below to top grilled fish.
Tomato Salsa
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 5-6 sliced green olives
- 1-2 finely chopped tomatoes
- parsley flakes
- 3 tbsp fresh or reconstituted lemon juice
Butter Sauce
- 3 tbsp butter
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat until golden brown, don’t burn. Stir in pepper and lemon juice.
Steak and Marinade on the George Foreman Grill
Flatter piece of steak cook up nice on the grill. Thin-cut ribeye or New York cuts work best, but any kind of sirloin can also be used. The flat iron steaks also cook up nice on the grill, if marinated. Look for packages at the grocery store that recommend grilling. Any of the packaged Weber grill mixes work well. Black Peppercorn is a family favorite. For medium steaks, grill about 8 minutes or so, depending on the thickness of the steak.
You can also make your own marinade by mixing several ingredients in a plastic zip-lock bag and then marinating the steak for several hours or overnight. Marinating tenderizes cheaper cuts of meat.
Here are some suggestions:
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 1 TBSP soy sauce
- 1 TBSP brown sugar
- dash of salt
Be creative--pinches of ginger, cinnamon, garlic and other spices can also be added to taste.
½ cup of prepared steak sauce can also be substituted for the soy sauce and brown sugar.
Cleanup : A handy tip for cleaning the grill is immediately after turning it off, put two wet paper towels inside. The steam will help to loosen the grilled meat and make cleanup much easier.
