When life gets busy, dinner should be simple—without sacrificing flavor. That’s where your grill becomes your best friend. Grilling up your meals is a quick and easy solution to weeknight dinner stress. Here are seven easy weeknight grilling recipes to make your evenings stress-free and delicious.
1. Gartner’s Marinated Short Ribs
If you’re looking for a quick and flavorful dinner, our Marinated Short Ribs are a must-try. These ribs come pre-marinated, meaning no prep work is required. Simply heat your grill to medium-high, cook for 2-3 minutes per side, and serve with a side grilled veggies and rice or your favorite pasta. The rich, savory marinade caramelizes beautifully on the grill, making this an effortless and delicious dinner.
2. Grilled Lemon Herb Chicken Thighs
For a juicy and flavorful option, try grilled lemon herb chicken thighs. Marinate our boneless, skinless chicken thighs in a mix of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs for at least 30 minutes. Grill over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked. Serve with a fresh salad or roasted potatoes and you’re all set!
3. BBQ Bacon-Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Medallions
Take your grilling game up a notch with bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin medallions. Cut a pork tenderloin into 1-inch rounds, wrap each piece with a slice of Gartner’s thick-cut bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Grill over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, brushing with your favorite BBQ sauce for a finishing glaze.
4. Gartner’s Chicken or Beef Kabobs
For “done for you” meal, try our chicken or beef kabobs. These pre-assembled skewers come packed with marinated meat and fresh veggies, finished off with our famous smoked bratwurst, ready to go straight on the grill. Cook over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the meat is cooked through. Serve with rice, pita bread, or a fresh cucumber salad for a complete meal.
5. Classic Cheeseburgers with Gourmet Toppings
Nothing beats a classic cheeseburger. Shape our ground chuck into patties, (our grab a box of our pre-made burgers), season with salt and pepper, and grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side. Elevate your burger with gourmet toppings like caramelized onions, blue cheese, or roasted jalapeños.
6. Honey Mustard Glazed Pork Chops
For a delicious way to add flavor to your pork chops, try honey mustard glazed pork chops. Brush bone-in or boneless pork chops with a mixture of honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and a touch of apple cider vinegar. Grill over medium heat for 5-6 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Serve with grilled sweet potatoes and a crisp side salad.
7. Spicy Sausage & Veggie Foil Packets
Foil packets make weeknight grilling even easier. Toss your favorite Gartner’s sausage with bell peppers, onions, and zucchini in olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Seal everything in a foil packet and grill over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, shaking occasionally. Enjoy a flavorful, no-mess dinner with minimal cleanup!
