directions

  • Start with an untreated cedar plank (14x7x1 in). Make sure the plank is untreated. Immerse the plank in water and soak for at least 4 hours. You may have to weigh it down with a can.
  • Preheat grill to medium heat. Using a brush, brush one side of the plank with oil. This will help prevent food from sticking to wood. Top the plank with meat, place on center of grill. Close the lid.
  • Grill 1 hour or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 150 degrees F.
  • Check back occasionally to ensure plank doesn't flare up.
  • You can brush with barbeque sauce during last 20 minutes of grilling time if desired.
  • Remove from grill, cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 minutes until internal temp reaches 160 degrees F. Disgard plank.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

We are recent transplants from Iowa to NC. I have 4 and 1 1/2 year old boys. I am a stay-at-home Mom. My husband is originally from Australia so I make a lot of Australian dishes. I love to read in my spare time and do cross stitch. I am also trying to teach myself how to play the electronic keyboard. I also do espionage work for the government in my spare time. Just kidding, but my bio sounded so boring I had to add something exciting. My days are rather full of food fights and scraped knees. I love to put a home-cooked meal on the table every night for my family, even if I do hear I'm not going to eat that! November 2008..As the old saying goes, time flies. I thought it time to update the info here. We have now been in NC for 3 1/2 years and have added another boy to our crew. Yes, that makes 3 crazy boys! Their ages are 7,4, and 18 months. I can entice the oldest to try most anything. Our 4-year-old would live on PBJ, and mac & cheese if I let him. The youngest will eat any veggie put in front of him, so far! I'm sure his brothers will set him straight. Oh, I forgto to mention that we homeschool, so easy to recipes that don't take long to put together are high on my list now.
