Favorite Holiday Season Recipes
As the holiday season approaches, it's time to fire up your outdoor kitchen and prepare a memorable Christmas dinner. At Casa Bella Outdoor, we've curated the top three Christmas dinners that are perfect for cooking in your outdoor kitchen. Let's explore these festive favorites and why they're ideal for al fresco holiday cooking.
Herb-Crusted Prime Rib
Nothing says luxury like a perfectly cooked prime rib. This showstopper is ideal for outdoor cooking, as the high heat of a grill can create a beautiful crust while keeping the interior juicy.Recipe:
- 6-pound bone-in prime rib
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 6 minced garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme)
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Mix the butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the meat. Grill at high heat (450°F) for 20 minutes, then reduce to medium (325°F) until internal temperature reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare. Rest for 20-30 minutes before carving.
Citrus and Herb Glazed Ham
A glazed ham is perfect for outdoor cooking, as the smoke from your grill can add an extra layer of flavor.Recipe:
- 8-10 pound fully cooked bone-in ham
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
Mix glaze ingredients. Score ham in a diamond pattern. Brush half the glaze over ham. Grill at medium heat (325°F) for about 2 hours, basting occasionally with remaining glaze, until internal temperature reaches 140°F.
Spatchcocked Herb Roasted Turkey
Spatchcocking your turkey allows for even cooking and crispy skin, perfect for the grill or smoker in your outdoor kitchen.Recipe:
- 12-14 pound whole turkey, spatchcocked
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (sage, thyme, rosemary), chopped
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lemons, quartered
Mix butter with herbs, salt, and pepper. Rub mixture under and over turkey skin. Grill at medium-high heat (425°F) for 30 minutes, then reduce to medium (350°F) and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 1.5-2 hours total. Rest for 20 minutes before carving.These recipes are perfect for showcasing the versatility of your outdoor kitchen.
