We love to grill out any chance that we get, rain or shine. I was always told that if you have a truly good steak, you don’t need a dipping sauce for it – it just needs to be marinated and cooked properly. We had the chance to try out some things from Lawry’s for our grilling adventures.
Lawry’s newest marinades allow you to infuse your meals with exotic flavors without ever leaving your home. Inspired by the sun-drenched villages of Italy, the Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Marinade features extra virgin olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, sweet red bell peppers and the perfect blend of herbs. The Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ Marinade gives meat a delicious sweet and sour flavor with a touch of Szechuan heat.
These marinades fuel the flames of flavor and are on-point with this season’s hottest grilling trends, adding inspiration to your favorite dishes. Take your family’s grilled dinner to the next level – Try Lawry’s Tuscan Grilled Lamb Chops with Warm White Beans Provençal recipe featuring the new Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Marinade tonight!
For more ways to put a fresh spin on your go-to grilling menu, check out these new pairings from the recently released McCormick® Flavor Forecast™ 2010: Grilling Edition:
- Applewood & Plum – Juicy plums accent smoky applewood and add flair to all-American barbecue.
- Cilantro & Lime – Cutting across the diverse cuisines, this bright and zingy pair is a refreshing taste of summertime.
- Rosemary & Fig – Figs are an unexpected and regionally inspired match for aromatic rosemary.
- Chipotle & Maple – This culinary comingling deliver a fresh take on smoky, spicy and sweet.
- Brown Sugar & Bourbon – This duo brings a delicious dose of Southern charm to the patio.
- Cinnamon & Coffee – Bold and confident – with just the right edge of bitterness.
- Red Chili Sauce & Mango – The flavor of mango takes hot or sweet red chili sauce far beyond mere “condiment status.”

We received a Lawry’s “Get Grilling Kit” that included Both of the new Lawry’s marinades – Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato and Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ, a set of skewers and a marinating dish.


How did we like the new flavor marinades? Loved them both! My personal preference was the Szechuan Sweet & Sour BBQ. I am a huge fan of anything BBQ flavor! Hubby’s favorite was the Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato and the kids loved them both! We marinaded our meat overnight and grilled out the next day at lunch. Perfect flavor. Perfect everything!

I love dry rubbed meats finished off with bbq sauce and marinated meats.
I like wrapping up vegetables in foil and throwing it on the grill.
I marinate my meats overnight in the fridge in ziploc bags.
I’ve never grilled before, I do wanna try it this summer though!

Make sure that you put your wooden skewers in water for about 15-20 minutes to
keep the edges from burning.

When we grill ribs we love Open Pit, Original. It’s tough trying new things when you’re afraid that not only will you waste money on the sauce, but we might not like the meat.
I’d love to try grilling chicken with these marinades. The flavors sound like they’d go well with chicken. Thanks for the giveaway!
When we grill (and often grill we do), ribs are with bbq, chicken is with marinade and steak you don’t mess with.

I like to marinade chicken with lemon juice, olive oil, chopped garlic, and minced fresh rosemary, thyme, and basil, then grill it. This makes a great meal, and I make chicken salad with the leftovers. It’s also good as a marinade for boneless chicken for shish kabobs.

I’m still a noob when it comes to the ways of the grill, so this may have been common knowledge but I discovered recently that you just cant grill a whole potato. Unless you want to wait until midnight to eat or prefer half-cooked taters. Slice and dice beforehand!
I love cooking and grilling with marinades. It’s easy and guaranteed to taste great and I can’t screw it up. Thanks for the chance to win this!

olive oil and oregano with steak
my tip is to marinate, steak & tomatoes
Pat off moisture on both sides on meat with a paper towel and salt each side. Never pierce the meat while cooking and don’t keep turning it. After grilling, let it rest for ten minutes before cutting into it.
always put the sauce on last

with our family, we like the Latino flavors of cilantro and lime seasonings, with adobo and carne asada seasonings piled on to give our steak and chicken a great Latin flavor.
I love the taste of garlic and onions, so I either use spices or fresh ingredients to have my meat get that flavor.

Don’t use too much or too little sugar in your dry rub. Too much sugar will cause the food to burn and too little sugar causes the food loses its texture. Ya gotta kind of get it right in the middle.
We love to grill out chicken, so this would be great! We also love to grill corn on the cob. We wrap it in foil with a few pats of butter in it and oh yum, it’s good!

My favorite grilling tip- add fresh condiments like parsley, garlic or lemon to add flavor.
I like to parboil ribs first so they cook faster on the grill

MY BEST TIP FOR ME (THE WAY I COOK)….IS TO LET SOMEONE ELSE DO THE COOKING
Make sure the grill is HOT before placing your food on it. It helps prevent sticking. Thanks.
When I grill a steak, I like to add baked potatoes (take longer to grill than steak….pierce with fork and rub with vegetable oil) and veggies to the grill. No pots and pans to wash!

A fiery mango marinade (reserve some) for chicken is one of the best flavor combinations. After marinating for 12 hours, grill and toward the end start brushing with some reserved marinade for some of the best chicken you’d ever have!

When you’re making ribs… let them ‘rest’ if you precook them before they go on the grill- best if it is overnight-the meat stays on the bone, and it has a better flavor.

This is the time of year when I love to go to the Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings. It gives me a chance to visit with the growers themselves and get their suggestions for vegetables that are good for grilling. We have come up with some interesting combinations. I really like mushrooms and peppers. The peppers come in several colors and add that little extra to the meal with the extra color.

I like to grill veggies (asparagus is really good) in a foil packet in balsamic vinegar and some spices.
My best tip: Marinade less expensive cuts of meat overnight: Mutton, if you can find it, is fabulous, once it’s tenderized.
I put chunks of pineapple on almost all my skewers as well as peppers. They always make a great mix.
put it on your favorite vegggies mverno@roadrunner.com
spray the grill with pam helps food not stick
Love a homemade tequila lime marinade with chix
My tip is to marinate the meat overnight for the best flavor.
You take the steak off the grill just when you think it’s almost ready, cover it with foil, let it sit for about 5 minutes and it will be done to perfection. It continues the cooking process without it being straight on the heat source.
We love to pair mushrooms and steak on the grill. There isn’t a better combo!
