Reverse Sear what is it? After talking with a few folks there seem to be 2 schools of thought here. 1. Do a sear on your meat then smoke it. 2. Smoke your meat, and then do your sear. I got 1000’s of responses on both options so I thought I would do some research on it. I am not going to go into the…
Raspberry Rack of Lamb is a little tart and a little sweet and a whole lot of tender and juicy. The only thing better than a rack of lamb from Raider Red Meats is two racks! Plus, it’s only three ingredients to enhance the one of a kind lamb flavor, with a “Kiss of Smoke”. I think this is the VERY BEST Lamb I have ever eaten and we have to do this again and again.
Carnitas Encacahuates is an exciting “South of the Border” treat! Tender pork sirloin in a savory chipotle chili peanut sauce with a “Kiss of Mesquite Smoke”! We made our Encacahuates Salsa with roasted peanuts, tomatoes, and a Chipotle base that you can take in any direction for beef, pork, and chicken. A versatile sauce that is a little sweet and savory and crazy good.…
Taco Tuesday Blackened Steak Tacos because we love tacos just about any way they are made. I have been craving tacos and had some beautiful sirloins from “Texas Steak Warehouse”. The beginning of a love story. I wanted these to be special. So, I made a Smokey Creamy Jalapeno Sauce. It is a light green sauce that you see on almost every food truck…
Mexican Pizza and Calzone for Father’s Day. Traditionally on Father’s Day dads get to kick back with the grill and a few cold ones. The problem I had was I couldn’t make up my mind as to what I wanted. I wanted pizza and at the same time I wanted tacos. So, I came up with a “Mexican Pizza”, it’s like a big burrito…
Perfect Sirloin Roast on the Rotisserie was a huge beefy treat with just a few ingredients and a “Kiss of Smoke”. We also used Briggs True Bourbon Bacon BBQ Sauce for a finishing glaze. Talk about great eats!!! This 10lb. hunk of beef made a great dinner with friends, plus lots of awesome hot and cold sandwiches. Patti’s imagination is whirling with lots of…
Ultimate Burger Stack, Ken didn’t want a big burger for our date night. He wanted a BIG burger! We made this one just for fun. This beefy beauty was two ½ lb. burgers topped with two kinds of cheese each: one slice of extra sharp cheddar and one slice Patti’s favorite Swiss. Of course, we had to add lots of crispy bacon and our Date…
Tailgating Tri Tip Tex-Mex Style is taking tailgating to a higher level. For us tailgating on our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker isn’t always just hot dogs and burgers. We love steak and taters so why not when we go camping and tailgating! We did a reverse sear on a chipotle rubbed Tri Tip. Served with grilled peppers and onions with a pile of taters. Then,…
Rib Eye Steaks on the Gasser are delicious on the Monument Gas Grill. The Monument Grill has so many features it makes grilling a breeze and the results are monumental! These were really simple. We seasoned them with a little Montreal then onto 500* (260*) SIZZLIN’ Grill Grates for 5 minutes per side with a quarter turn at 2 ½ minutes. Flip at…
Raspberry Chipotle Pork Loin Chops Smokin’ on Your Gasser... Raspberry Chipotle Pork Loin Chops, one of our favorites. Thinking about it I like chops just about any way they’re made. We picked up a few whole pork loins because we knew they’d be tender and juicy. We cut a few loin roasts and boneless loin chops out of one. Patti and I are working…
Stuffed Italian Beef Braciole, our good friend Jason from Green Mountain Grills challenged up to make these Stuffed Italian Beef Braciole (Italian style beef rolls) on our grill. It’s usually made in a crock pot or skillet. The most amazing part, besides how great it tasted, was how easy it was to make. We went to see our butcher Juan Carlos, and he showed…
The Blackjack Burger! We love big burgers and Patti wanted to show how our new Monument Grill performs. So, she decided on some ½ pound blackened burgers topped with Muenster cheese on buns slathered with our “Smokey Garlic Mayo.” I was a happy camper I’ll tell you! Our grill is Monument’s top of the line 6 burner with a side searing shelf and a…
