Grill Stories

Propane level gauge Quick fix when your grill gives you the cold shoulder...midway.

Everything is ready—steaks are on, you’re all set for a great dinner with friends—uh oh…you forgot to check the propane level. Everything goes cold.

What to do? Let the steak sit for a few minutes to keep the juices in. Next, get to chopping. Cut the steak in to tiny cubes. Heat up your skillet to finish cooking the meat—it already has a nice sear & grill marks, so this is a quick step. Add in some diced red peppers, jalapeño and serrano chile to taste. Finally, add in salsa. Fresh is best, but a good jar sauce will do in a pinch.

Now you can relax! You’ve saved the day. Take this delicious mix and tuck it into a quesadilla, or top a salad for the quickest fix.

If you have leftovers—make ranchero steak and egg omelets, yummy steak on bruschetta topped with a little cheese, or freeze it and add to your next batch of soup.

Tip: If you want to avoid your grill giving you the cold shoulder…always check your propane levels before grilling.

  1. I keep a spare propane tank from an old grill on hand in the garage, but might try the recipe anyway!
