Carne Asada, Let’s Roll, I love anything you can wrap in tortillas and Patti found some marinated carne asada at the Mexican market on sale and I could not resist. The thing I like most about doing carne asada is that you can go in any direction you can dream of with different salsas, peppers and cheeses for topping. Patti and I have set one…
Reverse Seared Tri Tip Test Cook # 3, we are working on a new seasoning rub, “Smoke Ring BBQ Seasoning”. Doing a few test cooks to fine tune it… In the smoke at 250* (122c) for about an hour then a HOT sear on the Grill Grates. Check out the “Bark” here. We are working on a new rub that we’ll be calling “Smoke…
Reverse Seared Tri Tip on the Gasser, we wanted to show you just how easy it is using a wedgie you can do cooks like this on your gas grill. Check out the “Bark” here. We are working on a new rub that we’ll be calling “Smoke Ring BBQ Seasoning”. As you can see it looks good and it was good… Gave it a…
Benedict Burger with an Eggs Benedict theme. We Stufz ¾ a pound patty of sausage with eggs, Canadian Bacon and Muenster cheese and topped it off with Patti’s Garlicky Hollandaise sauce. These burgers can be served either with or without a bun. To give you an idea just how big this burger is we used 3 pounds of sausage for 4 Stufz burgers. Tonight, one…
Caprese Burgers With the fresh basil and tomatoes from the Murrieta Farmers Market Ken has recently discovered Caprese salads: sliced red tomatoes with thick sliced Mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Cool and refreshing on a hot summer day. And a wonderful compliment on a Huwa Steak Burger! With a "Kiss of Smoke" Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s…
Prime Rib Reverse Seared, Patti brought home a nice prime rib roast for me to smoke. I sure do love her. We thought over all the ways you can do a prime rib roast and we decided we would do a reverse sear. This means that we’ll smoke it until it comes up to an internal temp of 115 degrees (47c) and then finish it…
Our Rusty Double Burger is a great big mouthful of goodness. We made our Rusty Double Burger with double cheese covering 2 big juicy beef patties with all our favorite veggie condiments and then drizzled with our Rusty Mustard Carolina Style BBQ Sauce. Crazy Good!!! This is an in your face burger or should I say it’s an “On Your Face” burger! Patti and I…
Raider Red Fajita Fries because we had friends over with their little ones and the kids think of everything as finger food. And Raider Red Marinated Fajita meat always grills up tender, juicy and full of flavor. Plus, this was so easy and quick to prepare which was good because they were eaten up quickly. I did these on an old griddle tonight just do something…
Double Stacked Stuffed Burgers, we smoke garlic all the time on the grill and tonight I took some of our chipotle smoked garlic and ground it up into a paste. I used that with more bacon and Swiss cheese really stuffing these burgers full of flavor. These half pound Stuffed Burgers were stuffed with smoked garlic, onions and bacon with more bacon and then…
Chorizo Dump Chili because we had 2 pounds of Raider Red Chorizo and wanted to do something delicious. Spent the week thinking of all the different things to do with it and I kept coming back to a “Dump Chili”. I love chili and have been making it from scratch for over 45 years. Over the years I have picked up many books in my…
Alabama Blue Burger because we love blue cheese mixed in our burgers and nothing is better than having a big, beefy burger robed in our Alabama white sauce. Patti wanted to call this our patriotic burger because it was red (onion & tomato) white (our Alabama white sauce) and blue (cheese). Plus, we topped it with American cheese. I love Big Burgers and this is…
Down & Dirty Prime Rib because most folks think this cut of meat is way too expensive and way too difficult. Patti was at the market the other day to buy hamburger which was $4.35 a pound, next to it was prime rib roast at $4.77 a pound. A definite “no brainer”. Plus, our gas grill has a rotisserie. Perfect! We used our Date Night…
