Curt's Delectable Creations

Living in Florida, I have the opportunity to grill outside all year long. I love to marinate my steaks for at least 4 hours before grilling. If you have the time to get it ready the night before it's the best for tenderizing. (Of course, that is unless you are buying top quality cuts!! $$$) This is easy and a perfect way to tenderize meat a healthier way. Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy!

A simple Panini bursting with flavor we just love it's simplicity...      Use a simple gridded Iron Skillet and a heavy fry pan to put on top of the sandwich to weigh it down or use a Panini maker. Italian Bread Fresh Basil Leaves Sliced Tomatoes Preferably Plum Rosa Slices of Mozzarella or Provolone Butter Heat the pan or Panini maker and oil or spray with cooking spray. Spread the bread with butter. Place  two slice of mozzarella cheese on the bottom, layer with tomatoes then top with basil leaves. Add the top slice of bread and place in the pan. Use a heavy duty fry pan and place on top of the sandwich to weigh down to get the dark lines on the bread and also helps melt the cheese.  Flip and repeat .  You can also ad prosciutto if you would like a meat lovers sandwich or regular ham. We also love a tuna salad in this one! Enjoy...

 Grilled Ham is one of my favorites, sweet, tender and love that grilled smokey taste! 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup pineapple chunks 1/2 teaspoon 1 clove garlic, minced 4 large cooked ham slices cut in half. In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, red wine, pineapple, and garlic. Place the ham in the marinade, turn to coat it, marinade up to 4 hours, or cover and refrigerate overnight. Turn the ham in the marinade at least six times. On a hot preheated grill, cook ham slices until grill marks are on both sides dark and ham looks like its glazed.
