So explains Chef Andy Schilling of BLT Steak in White Plains who below, offers a grilled bacon side dish, ideal for preparing inside.
"What I like about indoor grilling is you don't actually have the fuss of outdoor grilling, including bad weather," he told Daily Voice. "There is less smoke and a lower temperature, but is still very effective. Grilling indoors also catches all the grease and allows for a much quicker cleanup. You will, however, need a well ventilated space."
His tips:
- Start the grill off hot and lower to medium or medium low heat to prevent excess smoke.
- Put herbs between the grates of the grill pan, so your proteins or vegetables (and your house/apartment) get a nice aroma and flavor! I recommend brining your proteins the night before you start grilling. This way when you are ready to grill you just wipe the excess off, and you will have well-seasoned and tender meats.
- Keeping your grill pescatarian? Try grilling fresh seasonal vegetables and some shrimp. Make a quick herbed aioli and throw it together as a salad. It takes about 20 minutes, including prep time.
