Thanking you all for your help.

يشوي ويُحمِّر
Explanation:
Well! As an after-thought, how about (يشوي) for "grill", and (يُحمِّر) for broil, as the later implies direct exposure to heat?

I wish we could consult the legendary (أشعب), for he would have known best!!

neutral  Nabil Baradey: Marian.. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines a grill as (a device on a cooker that radiates heat DOWNWARDS for cooking food. On "broil", it says: Cook (meat or fish) by exposure to DIRECT heat. I don't think we have a different word for each!.

  -> interesting... I don't think they're used quite that way here in the U.S., at least outside the restaurant trade.
