Grilled Roast Beef Recipe
PREP: 5 minutes
COOK: 1 hour
READY IN: 1 hour
Ingredients
  • to 3 pound beef roast
  • cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  • Turn grill on high and allow to heat up for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Rub the roast with oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper on both sides. Other seasoning can be added if desired.
  • When grill is heat, place the roast over the direct heat and sear each side for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Once seared, move to an area of indirect heat by leaving one side on medium-high heat and turning off the other side on a gas grill. Place the roast on the side that is turned off. On charcoal grill hot coals should be moved to one area and the roast should be place over the area where there are no coals.
  • Cover the grill and allow the roast to cook for about 1 hour for a medium rare 2-3 lb. roast. The temperature of the grill should be around 400° F. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. For medium rare - 145°, medium - 160°, and well done - 170°. Cook for approximately 1 1/2 for medium and 2 hours for well done.
  • Be sure to check for doneness often because timing can vary depending on roast size and heat of the grill. If you don't have a thermometer for checking doneness you will have to cut into the roast close to the middle and check for desired doneness.
  • Roast should be removed from the grill when it is approximately 5° below desired temperature and then be allowed to set for 15 minutes before carving. In this time the temperature will rise approximately another 5°.
  • Carve and serve as desired.

Homemade Ice Cream - Cookies and Cream Recipe

Submitted by RecipeTips.com
Homemade ice cream is always fun and adding cookie pieces makes it extra special.
Homemade Ice Cream - Cookies and Cream Recipe
PREP: 30 minutes
COOK: 10 minutes
READY IN: 6 or more hours
Ingredients
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups chilled whipping cream
  • 2 cups chocolate cream filled cookie pieces
Directions
  • Pour the milk into a heavy saucepan. Over medium heat bring the milk to a gentle simmer (approximately 175° F) or until it begins to bubble around the edges.
  • Remove from the heat. Then, add the sugar and salt and stir the scalded milk until sugar and salt are completely dissolved. Add half and half, vanilla, and whipping cream and stir until well blended.
  • Pour the mixture into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Once it has cooled, cover with plastic wrap and allow it to age in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or up to 24 hours). This aging process will produce ice cream with more body and a smoother texture. While the ice cream mixture is chilling in the refrigerator, break cookies into small bite size pieces. Place the pieces in a bowl or measuring cup and set aside until needed. After aging (chilling) the mixture, remove from the refrigerator and stir the mixture. The ice cream is now ready for the freezing process.
  • Follow the ice cream maker's instruction manual on the freezing process.
  • When the ice cream has thickened, but is still too soft to scoop, add the cookie pieces and stir until they are evenly distributed. Or, add the cookie pieces and start the ice cream maker churning again to stir them into the ice cream. Some makers have an opening in the top that is used to add flavorings as the ice cream is churning.
  • Once the pieces are mixed in, scrape the ice cream into another container with an airtight cover. Be sure to leave at least 1/2 inch head space for expansion. Place the ice cream in the freezer for several hours to harden before serving.
