GETTING READY:

Preheat the grill to 325°-350°.

Soak the cedar planks for an hour in water and heat in the grill with cooking side down.

 

MAKING:

For the macaroni salad, cook macaroni according to package directions. Once done, drain them completely.

In a large bowl, combine celery, red onions, drained macaroni, olives, pimento, pickles, mustard, mayonnaise and mix well for the ingredients to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until serving.

For steak fries, put together potato wedges, olive oil and creole seasoning in a ziplock bag and shake well.

Brush the heated cedar plank’s cooking side with canola oil (after taking out of grill).

Arrange the wedges on the greased plank as shown in the video and place the plank on the grill rack.

Grill for 35-40 minutes in low heat setting.

For hamburgers, divide the meat to equal parts (1/2 pound each) and make patties. Sprinkle desired quantity of bbq rub over the patties and rub for coating well.

Brush the heated cedar plank’s cooking side with canola oil (after taking out of grill) and place the patties over it.

Place the planks over grill and cook until internal temperature reaches 150°.

Meanwhile toast the hamburger buns over the grill.

Layer the patties on the top of toasted bun and top with bbq sauce and fried onions. Cover with other half of the bun.

Assemble as shown in the video.
