Australians are as well-known for their love of barbecuing as Americans are. Many of their city parks include electric barbecue grills that can be used by the public. Rather than slow-cook or smoke meat, Australian barbecuers prefer to grill marinated meat.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Fresh shrimp
  • Orange juice
  • Vegetable oil
  • Garlic
  • Parsley
  • Spices
  • Plastic bag
  • Skewers
  • Outdoor grill
  • Fresh spinach

    Australian-Style Barbecued Steak

  1. Step 1

    Make a marinade of vegetable oil, red wine, vinegar and tomato sauce. Season to taste with garlic, herbs and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Soak steaks in the marinade overnight, turning the steaks occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Invite your friends and neighbors to your home for a "barbie."

  4. Step 4

    Grill the steaks over high heat and serve to your guests along with grilled vegetables and beer.

  5. Australian-Style Barbecued Shrimp

  6. Step 1

    Wash, peel and de-vein a pound of large shrimp. Leave the tails on.

  7. Step 2

    Make a marinade using vegetable oil, orange juice, minced fresh parsley, garlic and spices such as coriander and cumin.

  8. Step 3

    Place the shrimp in a plastic bag, add the marinade, and allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

  9. Step 4

    Skewer each shrimp by threading the tip through the meat near the tail and then through the thickest part of the shrimp.

  10. Step 5

    Grill the shrimp over medium heat until the bottom begins to turn pink. Turn and grill the other side just until the entire shrimp is pink.

  11. Step 6

    Serve immediately over fresh spinach leaves.

Tips & Warnings
  • Grill shrimp only until all traces of gray disappear. Overcooking causes the shrimp to be tough.
  • Never serve the leftover marinade at the table for use on the cooked steaks.
