Smoked Shredded Beef Enchiladas We smoked a big, beautiful chuck roast because Patti wanted to make big beefy enchiladas to have for our weekend. They were perfect: zingy enough for Ken and not too hot for Patti. We seasoned the roast with Cattleman’s Grill Carne Asada Seasoning and used more in the enchiladas to make it extra good and Ken’s smoked cheeses to make it…
Steak & Egg Frittata One of Ken’s favorite meals is sirloin steak; one of Patti’s is playing with leftovers. So, we made two big sirloins for date night. The next day we had friends coming for brunch and what’s better than steak and eggs? A big cast iron skillet of steak and eggs smoked to perfection, seasoned just right with our Cattleman’s Grill Steakhouse Seasoning…
https://youtu.be/CxZJzCwULcY Stuffed Burger Dogs Video It’s the time of year for burgers and hot dogs! Hence the burger dog, but no wieners were harmed in this recipe. Patti wrapped her Chef Of The Future seasoned hamburger around a 2oz. log of extra sharp cheddar cheese, rolled it into a hot dog shape and served it on hot dog buns with our favorite hot dog condiments…which…
https://youtu.be/R_hkhfTL77A Sous Vide on a Budget (Poor Man's Sous Vide) If you have ever heard of the Process, Sous Vide is a wonderful way to tenderize a steak, without using any artificial ingredients or chemicals. However, a Sous Vide Circulator can be hundreds of dollars. Here is a way to try out the process and really see if you need to shell out the extra…
https://youtu.be/t2dqEz3PL9U Beef Tenderloin with Garlic Sherry Sauce Its date night and we wanted to celebrate with something extra special. Patti found a beef tenderloin and made a special garlicky wine sauce for it. Patti cooked up some bacon to add the drippings to the sauce and used the crispy bacon in mashed potatoes. Ken got a new toy from Char-Griller: a Smokin’ Stone that we…
Fiery Cowboy Pizza Ken wanted a really spicy, meaty pizza and the best way to make it was with some leftover “Fiery Chuck Roast” and lots of shredded pepper jack cheese that we cold smoked last week. We used enchilada sauce instead of tomato sauce to continue our south of the border flavor and ready made pizza crust to make it easy. We used some…
https://youtu.be/6GUZo0QkD4w Kamado Tri Tip Packed with “Big Beef” Flavor Tonight’s dinner was packed with “Big Beef” flavor with a wonderful peppery crust and a kiss of smoke flavor. We love the taste of big beef flavor and nothing says ‘Big Beef” better than Tri-Tip. Tri tip is a very tender cut of beef and full of rich beefy flavor; to give it another layer of…

Coffee Injected Chuck Roast, Fiesta Potatoes and a Garlic Skillet We have done a few big chuck roasts now, because they taste great. What I like most about doing these big roasts is that someone always has them on sale. This is a big 8 ½ pounder that Patti found for less than $2.50 a pound. We ate roast beef burgers, BBQ beef sandwiches with…
Potluck Cheeseburger Mac We were invited to a potluck at our community center and asked what we should bring. The resounding vote was: meat! Spending the afternoon with our friends and neighbors is always fun and we wanted to do something everyone would love. Zaycon Fresh to the rescue. We mixed lots of their super lean, top quality ground beef with sharp cheddar cheese and…
Breakfast Burger Balls Folks love our Scotch eggs with a hard cooked egg wrapped in sausage and bacon. But, we got a request for beef instead of pork and they insisted we use Zaycon Fresh ground beef because they wanted the best. We would never consider anything else! The hard cooked eggs were wrapped in ½ lb. of Zaycon Fresh ground beef mixed with Chef…
Smoked Clod Roast We saw clod roast on sale this week. Never having done one, we wanted to give it a try. It is a lean cut of meat a little on the tough side. Low and slow is the way to go here. We did a garlic pepper crust and injected it with a 50/50 mix of Country Bob’s Sauce and cranberry juice. It…
