Sirloin Alfredo Elegant and Easy, this is a “Love the Second Time Around” recipe where we take our leftovers and make another awesome dinner … My favorite cut of steak is sirloin. Patti loves all you can do with the leftovers. So, we always get a huge one. Last Friday night we made the Ultimate Philly Cheese Steak and had just enough leftovers for…
Blackened Prime Rib Steak, lot’s going on this week with Valentine’s Day, Rat’s birthday and, of course, Date Night. We wanted something extra, extra special. So, we went down to see Juan Carlos our butcher at El Toro market. He always has something delicious to show us. He cut 4 of these 2 inch steaks out of a prime rib for us. That is cool,…
Cowboy Surf & Turf is a big steak stuffed with Patti’s seafood stuffing. We used our Green Mountain “Davy Crockett” to show use just how easy it is to go big on a little pellet grill made for tailgating. A great little grill that you can set up anywhere!!! Cowboy Surf & Turf is our first new recipe since moving to Oklahoma. We truly…
Carne Guisada, since we’ve been selling BBQ’d tri-tip roasts at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market, it’s become one of our favorite cuts of beef. Super lean and full of flavor, plus it’s so versatile. Tonight we cubed up a three pounder, tossed it with seasoned flour and some of our favorite Mexican spices. Then, off to the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill for some smoky flavor…
Zippy Beef Jerky, we have always liked jerky and have wanted to make our own for years. This jerky is packed with flavor. A bit zippy with lots of black and red pepper mixed with Green Mountain’s “South of the Border rub”. Then, I pulled it off the smoker while still a little tender as jerky goes. I didn’t want to break any teeth.…
Rusty Meatballs are a great Tailgating recipe that can be eaten out of hand or as meatball subs. They can do double duty as appetizers and are always a hit. We took our Chipotle Bacon Bombs and generously brushed them with our Rusty Mustard Carolina Style BBQ Sauce and voila Rusty Meatballs were born. Too easy and with just three ingredients, make a lot…
Smoked Tri Tip, who says that camp cooking is boring? We have always loved creating AWESOME and hearty tailgating and camp meals that will be remembered for years. This is another one of those meals. This was about a 4 pound tri-tip that we smoked at 225* (107 c) for about 2 ½ hours or so. For tonight’s dinner we went by meat temperature…
Smoked Chuck Roast, Patti was going to do a pot roast in the oven. I got to thinking I was going to miss my grill time this weekend and I didn’t like that idea, at all. I had never heard of anyone doing a roast on the grill before and got to thinking, what did folks do before they had nice ovens in the house.…
Simple Tri Tip Nothing says true beef flavor like Simple Tri Tip. We enjoy the smoky flavor from the grill and the great sandwiches with the leftovers. Life is good! These guys are quick and easy to grill and they allow you to go in many different flavor profiles. This one was as simple as you can get. We seasoned it with Leggs Old Plantation…
Bacon Cheddar Burger With Zesty Avocado Sauce, around here the burger is "King" I LOVE BIG BURGERS! A new burger is always a delicious adventure. We are always coming up with a new twist on a good burger. That is both fun to make and eat. We both love bacon and that's a good building point. Thinking tonight we might add some big beefy burgers and…
Avocado Chipotle Cheeseburger is a nice Cheeseburger infused with the flavors of hickory smoke, garlic, onions and chipotle chili. Topped off with Colby- Jack cheese and rich, creamy slices of avocado. Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside.…
Ken loves chipotle and jerky, so we’re thinking a homemade Chipotle Beef Jerky seasoned just the way he likes it. We went down to see Juan Carlos about some ribs and he had some top round on sale that was cut to ¼ inch that looked perfect for jerky. 9 pounds and 7 hours later we have a pile of Chipotle Jerky, nice flavor not…
