It's the steak and the sizzle, the tang of a barbecue sauce and marvelous marinades made with the bite of a pepper or the sweetness of a fresh peach. It's the Catch of the Day, reeled in just this morning and the snap of a cold beer opening. It's the smoky aroma of a Texas Barbecue brisket that transforms a suburban patio into a home on the range. It's July, National Grilling Month and Americans will be firing up grills of every size this summer, celebrating the season with friends and family. Inspiring the festivities are eight leading chefs from Benchmark Resorts & Hotels and Gemstone Collection, with recipes that showcase the best of American regional cuisine.
"Sixty-three percent of Americans own outdoor grills, and our chefs are delighted to share these innovative ideas that will make their cook-outs fun and flavorful," says Olivier Gaupin, Director of Culinary Operations. Mr. Gaupin, an internationally recognized French chef, contributed his unique culinary flair to the effort with a recipe for Grilled Lobster Tails.
Locally sourced, all-American ingredients reach their full potential on the grill. Start in the East with a New York Strip Steak topped with Trumpet Mushrooms marinated in Merlot. A Florida Grouper is sparked with Summer Corn Salsa and Lime Butter. From Benchmark's Texas properties and celebrity chef Stephan Pyles, the "Father of Southwestern Cuisine" and Benchmark culinary advisor, come Barbecue Brisket, Pollo Asada el Carbon and Grilled Tomato Gazpacho with Goat Cheese Panna Cotta. On the West Coast, the heat goes on in Santa Cruz with Santa Maria Grilled Tri-Tip Sirloin topped with Chipotle Butter, and in Washington State, legendary wine country brings new dimensions to a Ribeye Steak in a Gewurztraminer marinade.
