Korean Marinade (Bulgabi)
This is from my sister Sherri's files; she says it is great stuff. (I certainly hope so because the name sounds like "bug gut juice.")

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup wine
1/4 cup brown sugar
Garlic and red pepper
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter

Mix all ingredients and put on some type of meat. (No, I won't go there.)

Grilled Veggies
You can cook these on top of some tinfoil on the grill, an old aluminum pie pan, a cast iron skillet over the fire/grill or skewer them as a veggie kabob. This will serve about 6 folks.

2 cups sliced zucchini (sliced about 1/4" thick)
1 cup chopped (into bite-sized pieces) white onion
1 cup whole mushrooms
2 cups sliced summer squash (sliced about 1/4" thick)
1 cup sliced (into bite-sized pieces) bell peppers
1/4 cup Italian dressing
Salt and pepper to taste

In a big bowl, mix all ingredients and toss to evenly coat the veggies.

If you are skewering these, prep your skewers (soak them if they're wooden), then load them alternating the veggies. If you're grilling them another way, then spread them in your skillet or on your pie plate/tinfoil/whatever and place on your grill. Grill this until the veggies are almost fork-tender. Don't forget to close the lid on your grill to make sure your veggies can get that smoky delicious taste.

Iowa Pork Chops (Mark Martin Style)

Yield: 4 servings

4 To 6 loin pork chops (with a large section of tenderloin, cut at least 1 1/2 inches thick)
3/4 cup Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 tablespoon Ketchup
1 medium Onion, chopped
1 To 2 garlic cloves, minced
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Place the pork chops in a glass dish or plastic bag. Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over chops. Refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours (no more than 4 or all you'll taste is soy sauce). Turn chops from time to time. Grill chops over hot coals in a covered cooker for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Then stand the chops up on their chine bones, cover the cooker and grill for exactly 14 minutes. That's it! Pork chops to perfection. Serves 4 to 6. NOTE: The marinade may be saved in the refrigerator for 1 more batch of chops.

Texas Barbecued Brisket
Serving Size: 8

1 1/2 pounds mesquite wood chips
6 pounds beef brisket

--- Barbecue Rub ---
4 tablespoons ground red New Mexican chile
2 teaspoons ground Cayenne
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup cider vinegar

--- Basting Sauce ---
1 large onion -- chopped
4 large garlic cloves -- minced

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
12 ounces beer
1/2 cup catsup
2 tablespoons ground red New Mexican chile
4 Chiltepins -- crushed

Soak the wood chips for 2 hours, drain.

Prepare a slow charcoal fire in a covered grill and arrange 1/2 of the wood chips on the coals.

Combine the dry ingredients for the rub except the vinegar. Brush the brisket with the vinegar and thoroughly coat the meat with the rub.

Place the brisket on the grill, fat side up, over a drip pan. Close the lid and smoke for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, adding more soaked wood chips as needed.

To make the sauce, sauté the onion and garlic in a little of the oil until soft. Add the remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes. Generously brush the brisket with the sauce a couple of times during the last 1 to 1/2 hours of cooking. Keep the sauce warm and add additional catsup to achieve the desired consistency. To serve, cut the brisket across the grain and serve with the sauce on the side.
