techniques that are used for naturally tender, portion-sized or smaller pieces of meat, poultry, or fish. By contrast, roasting and baking require a longer cooking time and are frequently used with larger cuts of meat, whole birds, and dressed fish. Grilling cooks food with radiant heat from a source located below it. Some of the juices are actually reduced directly on the food while the rest drip away. Grilled foods have a slightly charred flavor, resulting from the juices and fats that are rendered as the food cooks, as well as from direct contact with the rods of the grill rack. Broiling is similar to grilling but uses a heat source located above the food rather than below. Frequently, delicate foods like lean white fish are brushed with butter or oil, put on a heated, oiled sizzler platter, and then placed on the rack below the heat source instead of directly on the rods. Tender portion-sized cuts of poultry, cuts of meat from the loin, rib, or top round areas, and fillets of such fatty fish as tuna and salmon are suited to grilling and broiling. Lean fish may also be grilled or broiled if they are coated with oil or an oil-based marinade. Some less tender cuts of meat such as hanger or flank steak may also be used if they are cut very thin. When preparing meat for grilling or broiling, pound meats and fish lightly to even their thickness if necessary. Meat should be trimmed of excess fat and all silverskin and gristle. All meat and fish should be cut to an even thickness. Some foods are cut into strips, chunks, or cubes and then threaded onto skewers. The food itself should be seasoned and in some cases lightly oiled. Different parts of the grill are hotter than others. Divide the grill into zones of varying heat intensity, including a very hot section for quickly searing foods and an area of moderate to low heat for slow cooking and holding foods. (If the grill is wood or charcoal fired, set aside an area for igniting the fuel, which is too hot and smoky over which to cook foods directly.) Zones may also be allocated for different types of foods, in order to prevent an undesirable transfer of flavors. Developing a system for placing foods on the grill or broiler, whether by food type or by range of doneness helps speed up work on the line. Special woods such as mesquite, hickory, or apple are frequently used to impart special flavors. Hardwood chips, herb stems, grapevine trimmings, and other aromatics can be soaked in cold water and then thrown on the grill fire to create aromatic smoke. The sauce that accompanies a grilled item is prepared separately. 508 PART 5 Meats, Poultry, Fish, and Shellfish 23_557343_ch20.qxp 6/28/06 4:28 PM Page 509 How to Grill or Broil A basic formula for a singleentrée-sized portion 1 portion-size cut of meat, poultry, or fish; 6 to 8 oz/170 to 227 g Seasonings, including salt and pepper or marinades, rubs, glazes, or barbecue sauce if desired Other accompaniments, including compound butters, brown sauces, vegetable coulis, or salsas 1. Brush the rods with a wire brush and then rub with a cloth dipped in vegetable oil to lubricate and clean them before preheating the grill. Metal skewers need to be cleaned and oiled before use; wooden skewers should be soaked in water to prevent them from charring too much or catching on fire. Sizzler plates, tongs, offset spatulas, flexible spatulas, and brushes to apply glazes, marinades, or barbecue sauces should be part of the grill station’s equipment mise en place, as well as all items necessary for service (heated plates, spoons, or ladles). Hand racks for delicate foods or those that might be awkward to turn easily should also be cleaned and oiled between uses to prevent meat skin from sticking and tearing. CHAPTER 20 Grilling and Broiling, Roasting and Baking 509 6/28/06 4:28 PM Page 510 How to Grill or Broil 23_557343_ch20.qxp 2. Let the food cook undisturbed on the first side before turning it over. This develops better fla- vor and also lets the food’s natural fats (if any) help release the food from the grill without tearing. Place the seasoned food on the preheated grill or broiler rods to start cooking and to mark it. It does make a difference which side of the food goes onto the grill first. The best-looking, or presentation, side always goes face down on the rods first; however, the presentation side should always be face up when broiling. When the food comes into contact with the heated rods, marks are charred onto the surface of the food. To mark foods with a crosshatch on a grill, gently work the spatula or tongs under the food and give it a quarter turn (90 degrees). Because many barbecue sauces contain sugar and burn easily, it is usually a good idea to partially cook the food before applying the sauce. That way, as the food finishes cooking, the sauce glazes and caramelizes lightly without burning. A single coat of sauce may be applied to each side of the food or, to build up a thicker, slightly crusty coat of sauce, the food may be brushed repeatedly with light coats of sauce. 510 PART 5 Meats, Poultry, Fish, and Shellfish 3. Remove the meat or fish when it is still slightly underdone, so it does not end up overcooked by the time it is served. Even thin pieces of meat or fish will retain some heat, allowing them to cook after they have been removed from the heat. Turn the food over and continue cooking to the desired doneness. Since most foods cooked by grilling or broiling are relatively thin and tender, they do not require much more cooking time once they have been turned over. Thicker cuts or those that must be cooked to a higher internal doneness may need to be moved to the cooler portion of the grill or broiler, so that they don’t develop a charred exterior. Or they may be removed from the grill or broiler altogether and finished in the oven. For banquets, foods can be quickly marked on the rods of a grill or broiler, just barely cooking the outer layers of the food. Then they can be laid out on racks over sheet pans and finished in the oven. This approach allows you to expand the potential output of the grill or broiler. For food safety reasons, exercise extreme care in chilling partially cooked food quickly if it is to be held for any length of time. 23_557343_ch20.qxp 6/28/06 4:28 PM Page 511 Options for Making the Perfect Grill or Broil To season the main ingredient, there are many options. Apply each one at the appropriate time, most typically before cooking. Spice rubs Marinades Brines: Use a nonpreserving light brine (5 gal/19.20 L water, 1 lb/454 g salt, 1 lb/ 454 g sugar, and any additional aromatics) Presalting: Massage the salt into the item before cooking to help to retain its moisture How to Grill or Broil Evaluate the quality of the finished grilled or broiled food. Properly prepared grilled and broiled foods have a distinctly smoky flavor, which is enhanced by a certain amount of charring and by the addition to the grill of hardwood or herb sprigs. This smoky flavor and aroma should not overpower the food’s natural flavor and the charring should not be so extensive that it gives the food a bitter or carbonized taste. Any marinades or glazes should support and not mask the food’s natural flavor. To add additional flavor, add items to the grill fire to create an aromatic smoke, such as: Hardwood chips Herb stems Grapevine trimmings Pan Grilling Pan grilling involves cooking foods on the stove over intense heat in a heavy cast-iron or other warp-resistant metal pan with a ridged bottom. The thick ridges in the bottom of the pan create marks similar to a grill and hold the food up and away from any juices or fat that might collect. It is important to consider, however, that pan grilling will not impart the same flavor as will traditional grilling. Grills and broilers must be well maintained and kept clean to produce a good-quality grilled or broiled entrée. Take the time to prepare the grill before, during, and after service. It is necessary to relubricate the rods throughout a service period, so keep a small container of oil and a cloth as part of the grill station mise en place. 511 23_557343_ch20.qxp 6/28/06 4:28 PM Page 528 Grilled Smoked Iowa Pork Chops with Potato Pancake (page 797), Braised Red Cabbage (page 765), Caramelized Apples, and Haricots Verts 23_557343_ch20.qxp 6/28/06 4:28 PM Page 529 Apple Cider Sauce Makes 32 fl oz/960 mL Makes 10 servings 8 oz/227 g pork, cut into 1-in/3-cm cubes 10 (about 8 oz/227 g) loin pork chops 1 tsp/5 g salt 1 tbsp/15 g salt H tsp/1 g ground black pepper 1H tsp/3 g ground black pepper 1 fl oz/30 mL vegetable oil 2 fl oz/60 mL vegetable oil, or as needed 4 oz/113 g medium-dice Mirepoix (page 333) 20 fl oz/600 mL Apple Cider Sauce (recipe follows) 16 fl oz/480 mL apple cider 10 servings Caramelized Apples (recipe follows) 1 fl oz/30 mL applejack brandy 2 lb 13 oz/1.28 kg Braised Red Cabbage (page 765) 3 thyme sprigs Recipes Grilled Smoked Iowa Pork Chops 5 black peppercorns, crushed Place 6 charcoal briquettes onto a rack over the direct flame of a burner until red hot.
