Hot Soy Mustard Sauce

  • by

Here’s a new sauce I tried this week that is a great spin for grilled fish or chicken. You can forgo the chili oil if you want something without any heat but I had to boost it up a bit. I used this as a baste on the grill and it had an awesome flavor that is really fresh and exciting. It can also be used as a dip with some fried wontons or white corn tortilla chips.  Mix about 2 Tablespoons of this with the juice of 4-5 limes to make a great marinade that works on any meat.

Sweet Chile and Habanero Sauce

I love making this sauce, it’s perfect on just about everything. I use it on baked potatoes, steak, chicken, fish, shrimp, pizza, french fries, toast, noodles, rice, vegetables….. on and on. There’s a little asian market that as the sweet chile sauce for cheap, which is a great sauce on it’s own. Once you whip this up, you’ll see how great it goes on everything, it’s just a great combination of sweet, salty, and spicy.

Firey Tequila Steak Marinade

This marinade is perfect for tequila and beer Saturdays. Thinly sliced Skirt or Flank steak, when allowed to marinate for 2 nights, will practically flake at the fork after you throw it on the grill for a few minutes. You can also use it to marinate chicken for great Pollo Asado burritos. If you save some of the marinade, it makes for a great baste while the meat is grilling.

Pacific Fish Marinade

This marinade makes for a great summer flavor. I’ve used it as a marinade for smoke salmon, which leaves it so moist in the cente. The sweet citrus flavor also works to give a freshness to chicken and pork.  Skewer some vegetables and use this as a baste while they grill. For a good side to whip up quick, slice up some pears and carrots, top with a little of this and mix up. It may sound weird but it’s so tasty.

Steak Butter

This butter goes perfect with a thick, grilled steak and even on the side smothered on some fresh biscuits. It has just a little bit of kick but a good herb flavor that gives a freshness to any grilled meat or fish. I “roasted” the garlic for this in the microwave. It just takes too long to fire up the oven and have it heat up the house for an hour and half for only a small batch. But you can cut the top of the head of garlic, lightly sprinkle on some oilive oil, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Microwave on about 70% power for about 5 minutes, test it after about 3. Once it’s done you can add it to a toaster oven on broil for 5 minutes or so to blacken the top, then you can use it just like normal, at a quarter of the time.

Homestyle Bacon Gravy

This weekend I was making breakfast and made biscuits, only because I had a tube that I wanted to get rid of. While I was making Bacon, I decided to go with a sausage gravy idea, so I whipped this up and it came out pretty good. it’s a really easy recipe and it was all stuff that I had anyways so it cost next to nothing for me to have breakfast and lunch.
