For those who do not have grills of their own, there are a variety of restaurants in the Southwest Austin area at which hungry readers can find barbecue, grilled items and other options. Using a grill When grilling meats, Jack Gilmore, owner and chef at Jack Allen’s Kitchen, said he uses direct heat for anything he wants to eat within the next 20-30 minutes, such as steaks, fajitas, burgers or fish. He uses indirect heat for a “less than favorable” cut of meat—such as brisket or ribs—to enhance the flavor. Sauces v. spice rubs Rubs and sauces can both be used for grilling. “If you’re going to use a sauce it’s best to cook the meat first, and then right before the meat is cooked you add a fine layer of sauce,” Randolph said. “Most [sauces] are going to have a high sugar content in them, and sugar tends to burn. So the less [time] you can keep it on the grill with sauce on it, the better it will come out.” COMPILED BY JOSEPH BASCO & KELLI WELDON DESIGN BY ERIN BEHNCKE Grill & chill this summer Grilling preparation The grill should be hot and well-oiled, said Robert Randolph, assistant general manager at Stuffed Cajun Meat Market. “It gives you those good grill marks on your meat,” he said. “[Oil] prevents sticking and makes it a lot easier to cook and clean up.” 1 Vance Ely, Central Market Cooking School chef, said grillers can pick out their favorite produce items, such as baby portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and bell peppers, and combine them with meats or fish to make their own kebabs to grill. Vegetables used in grilling should be firm. Zucchini, squash, thick-sliced onions and portobello mushroom caps work well on the grill, Randolph said. “You don’t need to get all crazy with them,” he said, noting a little salt and pepper go a long way. 3 4 5 Choosing your fuel Charcoal, wood and natural briquettes (available at stores such as H-E-B and Whole Foods Market) can be used for grill cooking— each one has different effects on flavor, Randolph said. 2 Make sure you have a fire extinguisher nearby, Randolph said. “Make sure [the grill] is in a well-lit, open place, not underneath a carport,” he said. Safety first Sliced cabbage and cauliflower can be grilled in the same style of steaks as a side dish or option for vegetarians, Whole Foods Market spokesperson Rachel Dunlap said. Ely grills “dessert kebabs” with peaches, pineapple chunks, apricot and even plums—the grilling caramelizes the sweet fruit. Ask a butcher or fishmonger for grilling tips and tricks. If you are purchasing chicken or beef for kebabs, a team member can cube the meat for you, Dunlap said. CYPRESS GRILL 4404 W. William Cannon Drive, Ste.

Grill & chill this summer
Grilling preparationThe grill should be hot and well-oiled, said Robert Randolph, assistant general manager at Stuffed Cajun Meat Market.
“It gives you those good grill marks on your meat,” he said. “[Oil] prevents sticking and makes it a lot easier to cook and clean up.”

items, such as baby portobello mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and bell peppers, and combine them with
