Grilled Abalone Steak And Fruit Skewers Recipes

GRILLED STEAK SKEWERS WITH HORSERADISH

Steps:

• For the steak skewers: Assemble the marinade by combining the soy sauce, vegetable oil, horseradish, rice wine vinegar, ginger and honey in a bowl. Put the sirloin in a large ziptop bag and pour the marinade over the meat. Gently massage the meat and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour.
• In the meantime, prepare for the skewer assembly. Put the wooden skewers in a shallow bowl of water and soak for 1 hour. This will prevent burning on the grill. Discard the water after soaking.
• Prep the scallions by slicing the white and light green parts into 1-inch pieces. Set aside for the skewers. Then, slice the dark green tops and set aside for the sauce.
• For the horseradish sauce. In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Stir in the salt, ginger and reserved scallion tops. This can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When ready to serve, pour the horseradish sauce in a small bowl and garnish with a few more pieces of scallions on top.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Slide 4 to 5 cubes of beef onto each skewer, alternating with pieces of scallion (discard the marinade). Grill until browned and crispy, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Serve warm alongside the horseradish sauce for dipping.

GRILLED FRUIT SKEWERS WITH SPICY MAPLE CUMIN GLAZE

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling. Soak the bamboo skewers in a bowl of water and set aside.
• Combine the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Add the fruit and toss gently to coat with the glaze. Cover and refrigerate.
• Thread the fruit on the soaked skewers, alternating each fruit type. Place the skewers on the grill and cook directly over medium-high heat for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until browned and caramelized. Serve warm.

GRILLED ABALONE WITH PAPAYA SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the marinade, microwave lime in a small bowl to release essential oils, and set aside until cool enough to handle. Through the feed opening of a running blender add, 1 at a time, half of the papaya (reserving the other half), chile pepper, vinegar, salt and pepper. Then with the blender still running, squeeze in the juice from the microwaved lime.
• Place abalone in a nonreactive container, pour marinade over, cover and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
• Heat grill.
• Use marinade to make a sauce by adding it to a pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and let reduce and thicken. In a small bowl, create a slurry by gradually adding 1 tablespoon water to cornstarch. Whisk slurry into sauce, and add reserved papaya slices and papaya seeds. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, remove from heat, cover and keep warm.
• Grill abalone over medium-high heat until opaque. Remove from heat and let rest.
• Serve with sauce and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
