[SIZE=18pt]Simple surf and turf[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=12pt]Ingredients:[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]1 16 ounce Prime Ribeye[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]1 pound King Crab legs[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]1 pound red, purple and white potatoes, quartered[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]8 ounces bay bella mushrooms, sliced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]1 large sweet onion, sliced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]1 whole lime[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]1 stick of butter[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Joyner’s Thai Blend, to desired level[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]2 tablespoons olive oil[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Salt and Pepper to taste[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=12pt]Directions:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Heat grill to 400 degrees roughly with a spot for indirect heat. Par boil the potatoes, a few minutes cook time on high. Once the potatoes are par boiled drain, salt, pepper and Thai Blend, place in grill basket. The mushrooms and onions are mixed in a bowl with the oil, salt and pepper then placed in a grill basket. Place both baskets over the indirect zone on the grill. Cook until almost done then time for the steak and king crab.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Steak is simple salt and pepper. Take ½ stick of butter and a small amount of zest from the lime and melt better. Place the steak over the fire and put a slit in the king crab legs. In the slits you pour the melted butter, this occurs prior to going on the grill. Place the king crab legs on a rack since they are already cooked they just need to get warm. Put remaining stick of butter in same pan and melt, used for dipping. For me I like steaks more on the rare side so I make sure all my sides are almost completely done before placing steak on grill. Cook steak to your liking.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]Once everything is off I combine the potatoes with the veggies. The crab is taken from the shell and the steak is sliced then. Plate and serve.[/SIZE]
 

 
[SIZE=18pt]Fruity drink (Grill day means beer in these parts) (Fair share of two hearted ales were sacrificed)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]½ lemon[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]½ lime[/SIZE]
[SIZE=12pt]·         [/SIZE][SIZE=12pt]Tablespoon fruit punch[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=12pt]Directions:[/SIZE]
 
[SIZE=12pt]Fill rocks glass with ice, squeeze the ½ lime and lemon and add the fruit punch, stir and enjoy. [/SIZE]

It says I liked this, but I don't remember seeing it last night on my phone ...
 
That's a nice plate of food, and steak looks really nicely cooked from what I can make out ...

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

Yeah this was not posted anywhere, last night was chicken and I'll get that stuff together for a TD post in a bit. Will be my worst entries but it was on the menu regardless and I took full advantage of drinking hahahah

Thanks, I honestly didn't take the time or fuss with it...only a fan of overhead when I can use natural light. Overhead in my kitchen at nighttime = shadow no matter where I shoot it from. 
 
Someone post so I can post #2 in its own message please..

Sweet and Heat
 
The GRILL: Pork Tenderloin
 
Marinade: sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, Thai red pepper paste, cayenne, ginger, thyme, cilantro, ginger syrup and a touch of lime juice .
Marinate tenderloin overnight. Cooked on grill at about 450F, 16 minutes. 
 
The CHILL: Aji Cristal Pitaya Twist
Roast, peel and deseed aji cristal. Deseed dragon fruit. Puree in blender with limoncello, tequila, lime juice, and ginger syrup. Put in freezer overnight. When ready to serve, combine with ice in blender.
 

 
 

 

 

 
Fruit salad didn't make it into the pics as some hornets decided they wanted it more badly than y'all wanted pics. I don't deal well with hornets or other things that sting. 
 

 

[grantmichaels]

That looks like nicely cooked pork, and the flavors sound great.

Jalapeño Jeaven
 
I love jalapeño flavor and decided to do this entry focusing on that. 
 
The GRILL: Jalapeño Pork Tenderloin
Dry rub: sea salt, marjoram, cumin, cilantro, allspice, ginger and jalapeño powder.
Apply rub to tenderloin and let it rest in the refrigerator overnight. Grill at about 450F for 16 minutes. Serve with jalapeño salsa for dipping.
 
The CHILL: Jalapeño Salsa Margarita
Jalapeño salsa, agave nectar, salt, lime juice, tequila.
Combine and place in freezer overnight. When ready to serve, combine with ice in blender.
 
Jalapeño Salsa: Roast, deseed and peel jalapeños. Puree in blender with salt, honey, and lime juice. Note that a key to this is not to overuse the honey. You want to add a subtle honey flavor without making the salsa sweet.

Love the jalapeno theme throughout will look closer later but that's what it's all about!
