Another Surf and Turf

[John Solak]

Tri tip and scallops this time. I had the day off so I cooked tonight's meal on the Santa Maria Grill over some red oak logs.

Searing the tri tip

After its seared on both sides I added an artichoke to the grill.

Artichioke is ready and made a mayo,lemon juice and garlic dipping sauce and a butter and garlic dipping sauce.

Grilled up some veggies, red and green bell peppers, onion all seasoned with some Slap ya Mama seasoning.

Then some zukes and baby bok choy also seasoned with some Slap ya Mama

Next up some scallops

Then finished in some ginger/green onion butter mixture

My plate. Was really good but I started running out of coals toward the end so everything wasn't hot when we ate. I need to learn better fire control on this grill still. thanks for looking!!

Looks fantastic as always John! Did you pre boil that Artichioke? Would love to try a grilled one. Really dig that new grill, And if you put a weber lid on that grate i guess the radiant heat will be pretty good aswell.

Fabulous! Would like to have that right here, right now...

Same question here John I did one on the grill and it didn't taste very good. Very Stringy and tough.

Looks good.

 

[Bob Correll]

Very nice tri, scallops, and veggies John!

I steamed the artichoke until the whole thing was tender. Once steamed the artichoke is ready to eat, I just put it on the grill to get some extra flavor. This was the first time I cooked an artichoke so I went to youtube to figure out how to clean and eat them

here is the video I go the most info on.
