If you grill, you’ve probably been making “mixed grill” without knowing about it. When you’ve got more than one type of food on the grill—hamburgers, hot dogs and corn on the cob, for example—it’s a mix. Surf and Turf is a deluxe mixed grill.
Many cuisines feature a traditional dish called Mixed Grill. Some examples of typical combinations:
Argentine asado: beef, kidney, liver and sausages such as chorizo and morcilla, a blood sausage, served with chimichurri sauce.
Brazilian churrasco: various cuts of chicken (including hearts) and beef (including picanha—in English, coulotte, rump cap, rump cover or sirloin cap).
British mixed grill: lamb chops, lamb kidneys, beef steak, gammon (uncured ham), tomatoes and mushrooms.
Italian mixed grill: beef and pork plus chicken marinated in olive oil, garlic, lemon and rosemary.
Jerusalem mixed grill: chicken hearts, livers and spleen; lamb; onion, garlic and and Middle Eastern spices.
Kansas City Mixed Grill (breakfast): bacon, eggs, ham, home fries, sausage links and toast.
South Asian Mixed Grill (Bangladesh/India/Pakistan): chicken tikka and mutton tikka, served with roti and chutney.
Venezuela Mixed Grill: mixed meat skewers.
