In planning our tasting party, I wanted to create a few simple and flavorful recipes that would pair nicely with the rich flavors of Negra Modelo. Luckily, the tasting kit included a Butcher's Rub spice blend kit from The Spice House, one of my favorite local Chicago food shops. Additionally, we decided to serve a few simple items that our guests could snack on when they arrived. Negra Modelo has a partnership with renowned Chicago chef Rick Bayless who has created his own set of recipes that complement the flavors of Negra Modelo-- I was so excited to try Rick Bayless's Lazy Salsa recipe because it only included a few ingredients and Alex was able to do a big chunk of the prep work for it on the grill. The salsa is spicy and fresh and came together really quickly.
In planning the rest of the menu for this tasting party, I knew that I wanted to use the Spice House spice blends as the basis for some simple marinades. Marinating meat all day before grilling is a perfect strategy for entertaining because it is an easy way to maximize flavor and it gets a significant amount of your prep work out of the way long before party time. Right off the bat we decided to serve steak, but I also like to have an alternative available so we added chicken to the menu too. I used the Quebec Beef Seasoning to create a skirt steak marinade with the tangy punchy flavors of balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard. Abright and flavorful combination of fresh lemon juice, Dijon, and Bavarian Seasoning makes the chicken super tender and flavorful-- and marinating for several hours keeps it from drying out on the grill.
The recipes and the beer were a huge hit with our guests! We had a great time drinking Negra Modelo, catching up, and sampling the food at our winter BBQ. So, pour a glass of Negra Modelo, get grilling, and enjoy. Friends and food, and Negra Modelo-- it's the perfect complement!
