London Broil with Bacon Gravy Nothing says huge beef flavor like a good London broil. On sale this week and Patti picked up a big thick one. A lot of folks have trouble with this cut and it comes out tough. But it is a simple cut to grill. Simply put: it needs to be grilled, “Hot and Fast”. We made bacon gravy to top…
Patti’s Firecracker Chili We had 3lbs. of stew beef and a few ideas. Stew, for instance, but that included veggies Ken doesn’t like. I suggested chili and was scoffed at because Ken is the chili master…a well deserved title. But, today I actually impressed him with my first from scratch chili. Woo Hoo! Lots of smoky heat and tender meat. Excellent. Patti and I have…
Teriyaki Sirloin Kabobs I was looking forward to date night this week. Always lots going on here and there is never enough time to get the things you want done. Seems for Ken “honey-do” lists are like recipes, just an outline! You’re lucky if you get a few of the things you need done in a day. It was one of those times. Patti and…
Coffee Rubbed Chuck Roast We have done a few big chuck roasts now, we think they are great. I am thinking about retiring my crock pot. What I like most about doing these big roasts is that someone always has them on sale. We made roast beef burgers, BBQ beef sandwiches and stringed beef burritos all week. Patti likes to put a piece of the…
Burnt Ends and Tips 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. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy…
Chili Jalapeno Burger Ken loves a good chili burger. The only thing I don’t like about them is “To eat one, you ware one”. They are all over the place, which is part of their charm. Well, at home I don’t care about that. So we grilled up some nice burgers and loaded them up with lots of cheddar cheese, chili and jalapenos. For…
Pepper Crusted Sirloin Roast Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill, but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a…
Beef Tenderloin Burritos I got this idea from Larry Gaian, a well-known barbeque expert. You can see more from Larry at: http://www.embersandflame.com/ . He made tacos from one of these tenderloins. His were made with his favorite spices, as were mine, he folded, but I rolled my tortilla. It’s all good. Being they’re burritos but made with the tenderloin, Patti calls them “simply fancy”. And these…
Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick Patti and I are still working on a few treats to serve “Off The Grill” for tailgating parties. These are a big hit at the Super Bowl parties also. With us, it has to be something smoked off the grill. A great start for anything we come up with. How about Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick? We let…
Super Tailgater Burger Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. This time for all our tailgating friends we used our Green Mountain Davy Crocket Tailgater Grill. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with…
Pina Colada Riblets Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Memphis Elite Wood Fire Grill/Smoker. It has so many great features we rarely cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and…
