Now that the weather is cooling off, the cal flame grills will be fired up in many backyards throughout Phoenix.  And with a gourmet grill, one will find that they are inclined to host all their dinner parties out doors.  When the grill is set up in the garden, the evening nights are turned into spectacular events.  These cal flame grills are not just your regular backyard grill, as many of them are equipped with options that are more akin to a gourmet kitchen.  The entire meal can be cooked out side as many of them come with burners for use when sauteing up the side dishes.  And many are custom designed for one’s own personal style with various tiles and finishes.

My next door neighbor in Chicago was known for her recipes and her skill with the out door barbecue.  Many of her dishes were a couple days in the preparation, and she often times fired up the grill by six in the morning.  The smells from Catherine’s cooking woke us up on many summer mornings.  One of her famous recipes was her BBQ steak.  She started the night before, rubbing the steaks with salt, thyme.  She then put the steaks in the refrigerator over night.

Then she started in on her secret BBQ recipe, she let me watch, but I was not allowed to write the ingredients down. She added beer and garlic, and that’s about all I can remember.  That sauce she kept going over a low heat for most of the night.  The next morning she would cover the steaks with the sauce and put them on her grill.  She slow cooked them until about noon, and then it was time for the feast.  That woman fed us just about once a week that summer, and it was always great to sit on her porch and partake in the summer afternoons, and delicious home cooked food.
