Grilling Thick Steaks - The Reverse Sear
Grilling thick steaks (2 inches or more) over high heat can be challenging. The outside layers tend to be heavily charred and dry by the time the center reaches the desired temperature (unless you are a black and blue fan). The reverse sear brings the steak up to temperature slowly over low indirect heat, allowing the meat enzymes to work their magic. The steak is then grilled at a high temperature to get the appropriate crust.
5 Minute Microwave Cornbread
This microwave cornbread literally takes me 5 minutes to get on the table —including absolutely all the steps. I'll be honest; it tastes better baked in a regular oven. But it's still pretty darn good in the microwave, and sometimes I only have 5 minutes!
Early American Eggnog
Supposedly a recipe from George Washington, I have used this early American eggnog recipe for five annual New Year's parties. You must make it about 10 days in advance to mellow the flavors. It becomes so smooth. One year, one of my guests unknowingly served it to her 2-year-old! Use premium vanilla ice cream to keep it chilled in the punch bowl. I like to shape the ice cream in star molds and use them one at a time to chill the eggnog throughout the evening.
