Grilled recipes for your summer outing

Summer outings are not complete without delicious food!

In a recent episode of “Good News,” Chef Tatung Sarthou of Tatung's Garden Restaurant shared his signature grilled recipes that you can also serve to your family or barkada.

Grilling is ideal for outings. Most grills are portable–all you need is some charcoal and you’re good to go. Some resorts even provide grilling equipment that guests can freely use.

Here are some delicious grilled recipes from Chef Tatung:

Grilled coffee-rubbed steak



Ingredients:

Steak
1 tbsp. chili powder
½ cup olive oil
1 tbsp. coffee granules
1 pc. lemon
Salt and pepper

Directions:

Season the steak with olive oil. Combine chili powder, salt and coffee and then rub to the steak.

Chef Tatung's tip: “Kailangan, nakahati sa dalawang level ng init ang griller, ang high heat at low heat. Ililipat kasi sa low heat ang karne pag medyo luto na ito.“Grill the steak for five to six minutes, depending on the thickness.

For the side dish, combine cabbage, salt, pepper, onions and garlic. Add some butter, depending on your taste, and grill for three to five minutes.

For the sauce, combine pepper, salt, lemon juice, meat drippings. Pour this mixture over the grilled steak.

Cost: P140 for 3 to 4 servings

Pork Barbecue in Tomato and Bagoong Sauce

Sugar

To make the bagoong sauce, sauté the garlic, onion, bagoong, honey and diced tomato. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mixture reaches a pasty consistency.

Chef Tatung's Tip: Soak the barbecue sticks in water for at least an hour. “Para kapag inihaw mo, hindi siya nagiging uling. Kasi kapag tuyo na yung stick niyo, hindi pa luto yung karne, wala nang natitirang stick.”

Put the pork chunks on the barbecue sticks. Grill. Brush the bagoong sauce on the barbecue before serving.
