EASTER MIXED GRILL WITH HERB, LEMON & HONEY GLAZE

Serves 8 | Cook Time 1 Hour 25 Minutes

INGREDIENTS:

Marinade & Glaze

  • 1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. lemon zest

  • 1 ¼ cups lemon juice

  • ½ cup plus 2 tbsp.

  • ¼ cup plus 1 tbsp. soy sauce

  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped garlic

  • 2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. chopped fresh sage

  • 2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. chopped fresh oregano

  • 2 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme

  • 4 boneless pork loin chops, 1 1/4 inches thick (1 1/2 to 2 lbs. total)

  • 8 lamb rib or loin chops, or a mixture of both (about 2 lbs. total)

  • 3 tbsp. finely chopped shallots

  • ½ cup honey

  • 1 tsp. sriracha (optional)

Vegetables, Sausage & Ham

  • 1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. lemon zest

  • 16 medium carrots—peeled, trimmed and halved lengthwise

  • 2 large bulbs fennel, trimmed and cut into 8 wedges each with some core attached

  • 1 large bunch

  • Olive oil, for brushing

  • 6 fresh pork sausages, such as mild or hot Italian (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)

  • 6 fresh lamb sausages, such as merguez (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)

  • 1 ham steak (1 1/2 lbs.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In a large resealable bag, combine 1 tbsp. lemon zest, 3/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup oil, 1/4 cup soy sauce, the garlic, 2 tbsp. each sage, oregano, and thyme, 2 tsp. pepper and 1 tsp. salt. Seal the bag; shake to mix well. Add the pork and lamb chops. Seal and turn the bag to coat the meat. Place the bag in a large bowl and refrigerate for 12 to 24 hours, occasionally turning and shaking the bag.

  2. In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tbsp. oil over medium. Add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup lemon juice, remaining 1 tbsp. soy sauce, honey, and sriracha, if used. Bring to a simmer, then cook, stirring occasionally, until syrupy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tsp. lemon zest and the remaining 1 tsp. each sage, oregano, and thyme. Use the glaze immediately or cover and refrigerate overnight. Rewarm slightly before using.

  3. Transfer the chops to a platter; discard marinade. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

  4. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Brush the vegetables with oil; season and grill, turning often, until tender and charred in spots, about 7 minutes for the asparagus and 10 to 15 minutes for the fennel and carrots. Transfer to another large platter; tent with foil to keep warm.

  5. Grill the sausages, turning often until charred in spots and an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into the sausages registers 160°, about 10 minutes. Grill the ham steak 2 minutes. Turn, brush with the glaze, and grill another 2 minutes. Turn again, brush with the glaze and cook 2 minutes more. Transfer to the platter with the vegetables; brush with more glaze and tent with foil to keep warm.

  6. Lightly season the chops. Grill the lamb rib chops 2 minutes per side and the lamb loin and pork chops 5 minutes per side. Brush with the glaze. Grill, watching carefully to prevent the glaze from burning, 1 to 2 minutes more per side, until the glaze caramelizes. Transfer to the platter; brush with the remaining glaze.

RECIPE COURTESY OF:  Jordan HangerPERFECT SMOKED PRIME RIB ROASTServes 10 | Cook Time 5 Hours 20 MinutesINGREDIENTS:10.5 lb prime rib roast untrimmed3 tbsp Kosher salt2 sticks butter unsalted and softened3 tbsp prime rib rubhorseradish sauce optional for servingINSTRUCTIONS:Trim any excess fat or silver skin off the top of the prime rib. If bone in, cut the meat around each bone to leave them exposed for presentation.Dry brine your prime rib overnight by sprinkling kosher salt over the meat and placing in your fridge for 24 hours uncovered.Fire up your smoker to 225°F.Mix together unsalted butter and prime rib rub, then cover the entire prime rib with the butter mixture.Place your prime rib on your smoker and cook until the internal temperature reaches 123°F.Remove the prime rib and heat up grill.Sear the prime rib on each side with high heat to form a crust.Rest for 30 minutes and cover loosely with foil.Slice and serve with horseradish sauce.NOTES:Do I need to dry brine?  No, you don’t, but because it was so large I dry-brined it with kosher salt overnight. You can read about the process of dry brining here. It’s a step that I highly recommend and it will ensure that the prime rib is seasoned throughout the meat, even in the thickest parts. What rub should I use for prime rib? You can make your own with our rub recipe found here. You could also use a simple even parts salt and pepper blend or go with any store-bought beef rub. What flavor of wood should I use? We used Bear Mountain hickory pellets.
