My classic go-to cut for steak is a bone-in rib steak. The butcher at Florence Meat Market on Jones Street in the West Village recently corrected me when I asked for a bone-in ribeye steak. A ribeye steak is considered boneless and its bone-in counterpart is a rib steak. Now we know. A good steak…
BALSAMIC BABY BACK RIBS
Back in July, I posted a recipe for my quick-grilling weeknight ribs. Consider these my Labor Day Weekend ribs. I don’t care for ribs that are over-sauced, so with this recipe I’ve made a super flavorful reduction out of the cooking liquid. While these baby backs do take longer to cook, you can make them entirely…
GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH SUCCOTASH
The smokiness of the grilled corn adds great flavor to the succotash, but you can also cut the kernels from raw ears and use that instead. Grill the corn and sausages at the same time and cook the succotash while the sausages rest. GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH SUCCOTASH serves 4 Ingredients 2 pounds sausages 2 tablespoon…
GRILLED BABY BACK RIBS WITH ZUCCHINI AND CORN SAUTÉ AND PANZANELLA
These are my simple weeknight ribs. You season the ribs the night before, or even first thing in the morning, then cook them quickly on the grill. Grill the ears of corn while you sear the ribs, then make the Zucchini and Corn Sauté while the ribs rest. Lastly, prepare the Panzanella. You can substitute…
JALAPEÑO PESTO
There’s no need to fire up the grill for just one jalapeño. The next time you grill dinner throw a jalapeño on and let it char while the rest of your food cooks. Covered in plastic wrap, the cooked pepper will store well in the refrigerator for 3 days. I have very sensitive skin and…
GNOCCHI WITH SAUSAGE, TOMATOES AND GRILLED CORN

If you cannot find fresh marjoram, substitute thyme. Gnocchi with Sausage, Tomatoes and Grilled Corn serves 4 Ingredients Kosher salt 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 8 ounces sweet…

GRILLED CORN
The quintessential summer side dish, simple grilled corn is the perfect accompaniment to any warm weather meal. Fresh from the market you can eat corn on the cob raw and it’s delicious. I occasionally grill it for deeper flavor. While grilling the ears don’t focus so much on making sure it’s “done” but rather cook…
GRILLED SAUSAGES
Grilled sausages are my favorite protein to make in the summer. They sear quickly on the grill and it’s easy to cook a large batch for a crowd. It’s fun to do a mixed grill of different varieties of sausage, from pork to chicken and sweet to spicy. Grilled Sausages serves 4 Ingredients 2 pounds…
