From Denny: Now that Spring weather has arrived you might want to get that grill cleaned up and ready for a mouth-watering steak. Chef Big Lou Elrose, the executive pit master at New York City's Wildwood BBQ, shares his successful recipe for spice rubbed pork steaks with apple bourbon barbecue sauce and grilled green beans.
Chef Elrose gave a few tips about his spice rub. He suggested you make it up at least a couple of hours before you wish to use it so the spices have time to blend together. He makes his rub months ahead of time and stores it in a shaker, ready to go. Since it has so much brown sugar in it you might want to refrigerate it, depending upon where you live.
Preparing the grill, Chef Elrose scrubs it down with a scrunched up piece of aluminum foil when his scrub brush is worn down or it's been misplaced. Then, to oil the grill, he places oil on a towel, and, with long tongs he oils the grill carefully. You can get flare-ups so be sure to use long tongs and stand away from the grill as you work. He also suggests leaving the rub to rest on the meat for at least 15 to 20 minutes before placing on the grill to cook.
Enjoy his simple but tasty recipes! Let the summer grilling begin... :)
