Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Mixed Grill

1. Grill the Chicken:

   • Rub the chicken leg quarter with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Grill over medium heat for 20–25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked.

2. Grill the Sausages:

   • Prick the sausages with a fork to prevent them from bursting.
   • Grill for 8–10 minutes over medium heat, turning frequently, until they are evenly browned and cooked through.

3. Grill the Steak:

   • Rub the steak with olive oil, steak seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
   • Grill for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust the cooking time to your desired doneness.
   • Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 2: Prepare the Sides

   • Mix in the cooked peas, carrots, and corn for added texture and flavor.

2. Tomato Relish:

Tips for the Perfect Mixed Grill

• Seasoning Variations: Experiment with spice rubs or marinades for the meats, such as barbecue, Cajun, or lemon herb flavors.
• Grilling Tips: Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper doneness (165°F/74°C for chicken, 145°F/63°C for steak).
• Make It Your Own: Include other grilled items like lamb chops, pork ribs, or fish fillets to customize your platter.

This mixed grill platter offers a rich variety of flavors and textures, perfect for indulging your taste buds. Whether for a family gathering or a special meal, this dish will leave everyone satisfied.
