My cheap grill didn't survive my move to Chicago, so once I was here, I purchased a Weber Genesis. That's one of the best investments I've made in a long time. If anyone is in the grill market, take a look at this version. Grilling is fast and super easy. It's not cheap, but it's so worth it. Here's a link to the S320 mode that I have: http://www.weber.com/explore/Grill_details.aspx?glid=2&mid=4
I still haven't made a brisket in Chicago. However, a couple of weeks ago I bought skirt steak on sale at the local grocery. I had never cooked it before, but it turned out so well that I can't wait to make it again.
I marinated the meat in lime juice, a bit of canola, cumin, salt, pepper, and Tony's chipotle seasoning I bought at Sam's. Only marinated for an hour due to my friend bringing the limes for margaritas. I didn't have any on hand so I had to wait for her to arrive. I grilled the meat on high heat (500-600 f) for less than 10 minutes total (med-rare to med). Covered w/ foil for 15 or so to let it rest. Also cooked onions and red pepper in a grill basket, and made homemade corn torillas. Served w/ guacamole. Ah- delicious Tex Mex fajitas in less than 30 minutes.
