a resealable container and refrigerate for use at a later time. Marinade will keep
for 2 weeks refrigerated.
Preheat the Grill side to Med-High heat. Drain excess marinade from flank
steak. Grill for 5 to 8 minutes per side, depending on preferences. When tested
with an instant read thermometer, meat will register 120 – 125°F for rare,
125 – 140° F for medium rare, 145 – 155° F for medium, and 160° F+ for
well-done. Do not move steak while on grill, except to turn. Remove meat to
a cutting board or platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
While steak is resting, grill the Portobello slices. Arrange the mushroom slices
in a single layer on the grill and grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until
tender with nice grill markings – do not move mushrooms while grilling.
Remove and transfer to a bowl, with any remaining marinade from
the mushrooms.
To serve, slice the flank steak into thin slices on a slight diagonal against the
grain. Arrange meat on platter and surround with grilled Portobellos. Pour
accumulated juices from meat and Portobellos over the meat. Serve.

Spicy Grilled Pork Chops
Makes 8 servings
1
tablespoon kosher salt
1
tablespoon sweet paprika
1
tablespoon thyme
1-1/2
teaspoons granulated garlic
1-1/2
teaspoons dried powdered onion
1
teaspoon freshly ground (coarse) black pepper
3/4
teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2
teaspoon white pepper
8
boneless pork loin chops, 5 ounces each, about 3/4 inch thick
Place the salt, paprika, thyme, garlic, onion, black pepper, cayenne, and white
pepper in a bowl and mix together. Makes about 1/4 cup Spicy Rub. Sprinkle
each pork chop with 1/2 teaspoon of the Spicy Rub. Rub in to distribute evenly
over both sides of the chops. Let stand 15 minutes or longer.
Preheat the Grill side to High. When hot, arrange the pork chops on the grill,
spacing them evenly - they should not be crowded together. Grill for 9 to 12
minutes per side, moving them only to turn, until the internal temperature of
the pork chops reads 160°F when tested with an instant read thermometer.
Let pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
