Steak Kebab
Ingredients:
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup olive oil
- 2 lb sirloin steak, cut in cubes
- 1 red onion, cut in cubes
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cubed
- 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and cubed
- 8 metal skewers
- Combine garlic, pepper, soy sauce and olive oil together in a bowl. Add the sirloin steak to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover the meat with plastic wrap and let it absorb the marinade for about 30 minutes to an hour.
- Skewer the marinated meat with the red onion and bell pepper.
- Grill the steak kebab over medium heat for about 12-15 minutes. Make sure to turn for even cooking results. The kebabs are ready when the meat has turned brown and the vegetables are already tender.

Grilled Hamburger
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cheese slices, Cheddar or Swiss
- 3 burger buns
- 1 large tomato, sliced thinly
- 1 red onion, sliced thinly
- 3 leaves of iceberg lettuce
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- Ketchup
- Mold the ground beef into 3 patties with equal sizes. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Create a shallow indent at the center of each patty using your thumb to prevent it from puffing at the center.
- Grill the patties on high heat, ideally for 6 minutes for each side for medium, until a crust starts to form. Add the cheese on top of the patties 2 or 3 minutes before it’s fully cooked.
- Arrange the patties and other toppings on the bun before serving.
For perfect grilled burgers ever time, we recommend our best propane grills.
Deep-Fried Turkey
Ingredients:
- 3 gallons of peanut oil
- Whole turkey
- ¼ cup Creole seasoning blend
- 1 white onion
- Heat the peanut oil for up to 400° F. Always remember not to fill the turkey fryer to the brim to allow more space for the turkey.
- Rinse turkey, and pat it completely dry to prevent the oil from boiling over. Rub the seasoning inside and outside the turkey. A hole at the neck of the bird will allow the oil to cook the insides evenly.
- Put the turkey and onion in the basket, neck first. Slowly submerge the basket into the oil. Keep the temperature as high as 350° F for about 45 minutes.
- Remove the basket carefully and drain the oil from the turkey. Using a meat thermometer, check the internal temperature, which should be around 180° F for it to be considered cooked.
For this recipe we recommend using one of our outstanding deep fryers!
