Our favorite
steak marinade is the Flank Steak from Boma. (
http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1575103&page=8 ) I just noticed it's missing what little instruction the chefs sent: "Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Add flank steak and marinate for 24 hours." [NOTES: This is a thick marinade - almost paste-like. The amounts given are enough to do a 1.5 lb steak. In a pinch, I've marinated for 8 hours & it's still really good - just
so much better if you leave it for the full 24 hrs.
We do potatoes in foil also. I spay the foil with EVOO and then put in sliced of onion, red bell pepper & potatoes with the skin still on. I usually only add half the potatoes, sprinkle with spices & then add the rest of the potatoes. I do spray the top potatoes to keep them from sticking. Spices - any or all of these: lemon pepper, paprika, garlic powder/salt, chili powder, curry powder, coriander...
We also have found we really like corn on the cob grilled. We've tried a variety of ways, but prefer to just husk it & put it on the grill. DH does it so I'm not sure how long on each side - but I think it's 2 or 3 minutes...not long enough to turn black, but will have some color.
I don't bother with butter when it's grilled - just sprinkle with lime juice. Yum!
Other than that we like pork roll (like Taylor's), kielbasa and lots & lots of chicken! LOL A couple favorites for chicken:
[NOTE: Instructions for all marinades...Put everything in a gallon-sized zip-lock bag before freezing. Then it will marinate the chicken as it defrosts overnight in the frig.]

Marinate shrimp for 6 to 24 hrs. This works with either raw or cooked shrimp. I have a fish basket I use to grill the shrimp, but you could skewer them too.
