Frat-Boy presents: Barbequeing with Booze

I thought I throw up a couple of easy recipes before bbq season ended. First up we have a nice little steak marinade. Sorry, guys no pics with this post.

Beer Beef Marinade
1 Tbsp Sea Salt
1 Tbsp Lemon Pepper
12 oz beer of your choice
1-2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

1. Combine ingredients in a shallow container
2. place steak in container, cover let sit for at least one hour before grilling

note: this recipe covers about 1 lb of meat.

Garlic, Herb and Whiskey Rub
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 oz whiskey of your choice (I use rye, but have experimented with using bourbon, both are awesome)
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
chili flakes to taste
1 dash Worcestershire (optional, though recommended for beef dishes)

1. stir all ingredients until it reaches a thick paste-like consistency
2. coat meat in rub, grill

this one also works great for beef roasts.

Frat-Boy Gourmet: Chili-sagna

I hope I can turn this into an on going series of easy(ish), cheap dishes that will impress friends and confound the people who thought they taught you how to cook.

Chili-sagna (aka chili lasagna/Scott's twisted fusion cooking experiment #3)
The dish combines chili, guacamole, cheese and noodles in the style of an Italian favourite. Guaranteed to upset Nonas and Abuellas alike.

• 1 Green pepper
• 3 jalapeno peppers
• 1 can tomatoes
• 1 can tomato soup
• 1Tbsp chili powder
• 1 can kidney beans
• garlic, black pepper, hot sauce to taste.

Brown and drain burger in large pot, dice peppers (FOR THE HATRED OF GODS ANCIENT AND TERRIBLE, DON'T TOUCH YOUR EYES), and all ingredients to pot, bring to boil then simmer for 30 min-1hr. the longer the better
