Grilling With Almond Wood: Flavorful And Sustainable
(NAPS)—-When it comes to
grilling food, where there’s smoke,
there’s flavor—usually a very spe-
cific flavor depending on the type
of wood that’s being burned.
That’s the word from a number
of restaurants, many of which
have been stepping up their game
by introducing beef lovers to the
various flavor profiles offered by
. different types of wood.
Many chefs are known to have
different preferences when it
comes to which particular wood to
feature when preparing steaks.
burgers, kebabs, ribs and more.
While some might choose to use
mesquite or maple, others prefer
pecan, peach or cherry. Each type
of wood imparts a slightly different
taste or nuance, along with a sig—
' nature smoky, authentic character
’ that strikes right at the heart of
what makes for a memorable meal.
One steak house chain uses
aged almond wood in all 10 of its
restaurant locations where it
grills all its steaks, chops, ribs
and seafood over an open fire.
Said David Glennon of Tahoe
Joe’s Famous Steakhouse, “It’s not
unusual for us to have guests ask
us, ‘What’s Tahoe Joe’s secret
ingredient?” because they’re trying
to figure out that one special taste
they can’t quite figure out. That’s
the almond wood.”
The company’s decision to use
almond was only partly influenced
by flavor. “Certainly, beef and
almond have a real love affair going
on,” Glennon acknowledged.
“Meats sear to a beautiful crust
over the high heat of almond wood,
and almond’s sweet smokiness just
blends perfectly into that‘tender
juiciness all beef lovers appreciate.”
While flavor alone would have
been enough of a reason to choose
almond, it is also a matter of sus-
tainability that made almond the
signature wood of the restaurant
chain.

To get the most flavorful steaks,
some chefs might choose to use
mesquite or maple wood when
grilling; others prefer pecan,
peach, cherry or almond wood.
California is one of the largest
worldwide producers of almond
trees, which must be carefully
pruned and maintained to yield
the highestpossible crop output.
This leaves a wealth of leftover
almond wood trimmings available
year-round that can be used with-
out harming the trees.
“Enlightened Hospitality is at
the core of our customer experi-
ence,” Glennon added. “To us, that
not only means treating every
guest as you would a friend in
your own home, but also ensuring
that we create memories with our
scratch—made menu, and that
begins with the smoky sweet fla-
vor that only almond wood
imparts.”
When you’re doing the grilling,
consider these three tips:
1. Test the heat. Hold your
palm about three inches from the
grill for five seconds. If you can’t, it’s
too hot. If you can for much longer
than that, it’s not hot enough.‘
2. Sauce smart. Don’t add
sauce during the first two—thirds
of cooking time or it may burn.
3. Let it rest. As tempting as
it may be, don’t eat the meat right
away. Let it sit for a few minutes
so the juices can permeate
through.
