Grilled Peppers With Garlic Herb Oil Recipes

ROASTED PEPPERS IN OIL WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat grill or Heat oven 375 degrees. Note: this can also be done on a gas grill.
• Peel away the outer layers of the garlic bulb. Cut about ¼-inch off the top of the garlic head, exposing the individual cloves of garlic.
• Drizzle garlic head with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and wrap in tin foil.
• Roast garlic in preheated oven or grill for 40 minutes or until soft.
• About halfway into the garlic roasting time, start roasting the peppers. Using a gas burner, heated grill or under a broiler, allow the bell peppers to char (blacken) on all sides. As one side blackens use tongs to rotate the pepper to char all sides fully.
• Remove charred peppers from oven or grill and place in a plastic bag (sealed) OR a mixing bowl covered with plastic wrap. Allow to sit for 15-20 minutes.
• Peel the charred skin off the pepper. TIP: using a dining knife, running under water and massaging can help remove stubborn skin. NOTE: if desired some of the charred skin can be left for looks and/or flavor.
• Cut peppers in half, remove the seeds and stems, then slice into strips.
• Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skin and toss with roasted pepper strips.
• Layer peppers and garlic into glass jar. Pour olive oil into jar until the peppers are submerged and covered.
• Tightly cover jar with lid and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

GRILLED PEPPERS WITH GARLIC-HERB OIL

Steps:

• Blend oil, parsley, rosemary and garlic in blender to coarse puree. Season herb oil with salt and pepper. Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Place peppers in 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Add herb oil; toss to coat. Let stand at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour. Grill peppers with some marinade until just tender and slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Transfer to platter. Sprinkle with vinegar, salt and pepper.

GRILLED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH HERB-GARLIC-PEPPER COATING

Steps:

• Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
• Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
• Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

GRILLED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for medium-high heat. When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grate.
• Place the pepper pieces onto the grill with the inside facing down. Cook until slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Turn peppers over, and place jalapeno slices onto them. Top with some mozzarella cheese, and sprinkle with a bit of oregano. Grill until cheese melts, then remove to a plate and serve.
