We’ve just had a great Australia Day BBQ lunch. Apart from the salad, we had Easy Tandoori Chicken and Texas-Rubbed Steak. I cooked the meat on the Weber using the direct method (straight over the coals, as opposed to indirect as for roasts).
Easy Tandoori Chicken
This is, well, easy. Take 500gm chicken thigh fillets and rub half a jar of Tilda Butter Chicken simmer sauce into them. Leave for 4 hours to marinate (and this probably doesn’t have too be this long, it is just the time I used today). Cook over coals. Your cooking time may vary, but on a Weber directly over the coals it took around 10 minutes - and finished incredibly juicy and tender.
Texas-Rubbed Steak
This is hardly any more trouble than the Chicken. Take 500gm of eye fillet and rub the following mixture into it then refrigerate (I left it for a couple of hours, it may not take that long).
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon dry oregano
1 tablespoon Italian herb mix (containing basil, oregano, dried capsicum and pepper)
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
Note: I adapted this from a recipe on CD Kitchen that had a lot more sugar in it.
