4th of July Barbecue nirvana

Want to rock your taste bud’s world? Do you like fish? This is probably a little late for today’s barbecue, but trust me, you want to cook this for yourself.

Go buy a nice fresh (FRESH, not previously frozen) halibut steak, say 1.5 pounds or so – make sure it is an inch or so thick, no skinny steaks. Take about 6 tablespoons of Soy sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of minced fresh ginger, a pinch of garlic powder, and pour it all in a glass baking dish. Stir it up. Plop your halibut steak in there and let it marinate for maybe 2 hours tops, flipping the steak every half hour or so. Go preheat your grill, get it nice and hot. Plop that steak on there after it’s marinated and let it cook for about 8-9 minutes on one side, then flip it and give it about 6-8 minutes on the other side. You can tell it’s done when the meat is starting to separate from the bone and flaking. Do not overcook it, if so you will be bummed that you turned your $15 steak into dried out shoe leather. Serve with some sauteed mushrooms and zuchinni, ta da! Best meal you will eat this summer.

Well, it was for me anyway. And I invented that for myself last night, damned tasty.

    Umm, I forgot to mention the lime juice. Put about 2 tablespoons of lime juice in with the rest of the marinade. If you can make the effort, use a real fresh lime and not that sugar water they sell in the green plastic fake limes.

    I will try this soon and post feedback. Note, I still do the lemon/olive oil/garlic marinate of zuchinni and mushrooms on the grill.
    You should create a page on your site for your recipes.

    Cool, let me know how you make out. I think you could also spice this up a little by adding a touch of cayenne pepper to the marinade but I haven’t tested that yet. If they have some good fish at the store this weekend I will give it a try though.

    As for the recipe page, I am such a piker when it comes to cooking, I would be embarrased to publish them for the most part 😉
