Grilling In Style: Recipes & Grill Goods

{ Via: Sur La Table }

We are just three days away from Memorial Day, the unofficial start of grilling season. Make sure you are ready to fire up the barbecue with all the right stuff. My building has chosen not to open our outdoor deck just yet.  So don't be surprised if I show up at your house this weekend. In the mean time, plan your meals and shop these grilling deals.

New York Strip Steaks With Bourbon Steak Sauce
There isn't anything that I don't like about this recipe. I was surprised to read that these steaks are marinated in butter and olive oil for 30 minutes before grilling. Sounds delish!
Williams Sonoma

Grilled Guacamole
First things first. No, you do not grill your already made guac. That would be messy. Instead you grill the ingredients before you put it together. What a great idea. If you have not yet grilled a lemon or lime, you will be amazed at the amount of juice you get.  This recipe ups your guacamole game to another level.
 I am trying it!
How Sweet Eats

Grilled Garlic, Rosemary and Mustard Shrimp
Oh the smell of fresh rosemary cooking is heavenly. This recipe only takes 22 minutes from start to finish!
Heather Christo

Himalayan Salt Plate
My future son-in-law gave me one of these. I do believe in the health benefits of Himalayan salt. It's all we use. Can't wait to use ours this season. Click the link to read about all of the 
suggested uses.

Tropical Jerk Grilled Chicken with Charred Mango Salsa Verde
Anyone can grill a chicken breast, but as I always say, life is too short to cook boring food. The recipe begins with marinating the chicken, which is always essential in my book. The salsa verde is the fabulous finishing touch. 
Half Baked Harvest

Grilled Veggies
This is a no brainer for grilling. It's easy, tasty, and oh so colorful. 
Love & Lemons

Wildwood Grilling Grill Master Collection
For the grilling guru. This set of flavored wooden planks and smoking chips will up your grill game instantly.

Bacon Wrapped BBQ Pork Tenderloin

Pork tenderloin is a"go to" for us on the grill. It's just so good and quick to cook. This recipe puts mine to shame. The meat is dressed to the nines with bacon and stuffed with smoky cheese.
Oh wow!
Go Go Go Gourmet

Grilled Pizza with Pepperoni and Mushrooms
My sister does pizzas on the grill, usually as an appetizer to go with cocktails. They are so so good. I want to try this recipe at some time this Summer. Can't you just taste that crispy crust and 
smoky cheese?
Leite's Culinaria

Ooni Karu Wood & Charcoal Fired  Pizza Oven
Crispy crust is guaranteed, as this oven heats up to 932 F in 60 seconds!! Fueled by wood or charcoal, it’s also compatible with gas when used with an attachment (sold separately). No more carry out with this little machine.
Sur La Table

Mexican Chorizo Garlic Shrimp Burger
Oh my gosh, you guys. This burger is served on a sweet potato bun! It has a long list of ingredients but is hardly any work. I would say whatever they call for, is well worth the trouble.
Lady And Pups

Cuisinart Bamboo Tool Set
We need this set. 13 tools that you will use each time you grill. Very reasonably priced.
