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.
Authentic Swedish Pancakes
This Swedish pancakes recipe was taught to my father by his mother, who was born in Sweden. My father then passed this authentic recipe to me. Kids love them, and there are never any leftovers when I make them. Spoon melted butter over the pancakes and sprinkle with sugar or serve with lingonberry sauce. The pancakes can be made into larger cakes; however, the yield will be smaller. You can also use the batter to make crepes.
