Chef Tom smokes up some classic Venison Summer Sausage with a mixture of 2/3 venison and 1/3 beef fat. Using these LEM seasonings makes sausage making incredibly simple, and they’re a great jumping off point for making a sausage just the way you like it. Enjoy!
Chef Tom cooks up a pan-seared steak on the Uuni 2S Portable Wood Fired Oven. This is a simple recipe that is really all about the flavor of the steak as it sears and bastes in the cast iron pan.
The beer can burger is back! This time the monster half pound beef burger is sharing the stage with chorizo. Stuffed full of beer braised onions and peppers, topped with manchego cheese and sitting atop fresh made guacamole, there’s no room for disappointment!
Chef Tom cooks up a barbecue classic, the Moink Ball. This combination of Italian Beef meatballs and bacon is a standard snack at barbecue competitions around the country… but we’re going to go ahead and make our meatballs from scratch.
Crostini are a great way to pack a lot of flavor into just a few bites, which makes them the perfect appetizer or party food! It’s a really simple concept – grilled bread with toppings. That leaves all kinds of opportunity for experimentation. There aren’t many rules, but the thing I like to keep in mind is balance. Balance in texture, flavor, even temperature and color.
Chef Tom grabs a small brisket flat from the grocery store and cooks up some pulled brisket sandwiches with pickled red onions and a scratch made aioli. All on our Kamado Joe Classic II Ceramic Grill.
Strip Loin Roast has been a favorite cut of beef for our team for years. Typically, this roast is cut into New York Strip (or Kansas City Strip) steaks, but in our opinion, reverse searing it whole is where it’s at. In this video, Chef Tom will show you how to trim, season and cook a strip loin roast to perfection, and creates a fantastic Poblano Crème Fraîche to serve with it.
You’ve heard it before, that you need to sear your steak to “lock in the juices” or “lock in the moisture.” But what is really happening when you sear your steak? Chef Tom breaks it down for you.
Chef Tom puts the theory of resting steaks to the test. We cook five steaks to 125º internal temperature and rest them for different periods of time, from 0 minutes to 12 minutes. We provide you with the results of our test, and you can decide if you want to rest your steaks or not.
One of our most requested videos over the last year has been smoked bologna, and here it is! Chef Tom takes a rather unremarkable piece of meat and turns it into something fantastic with a little rub and smoke.
While this isn't an authentic Santa Maria style tri-tip, the reverse sear method adds a touch of smoke, and the marinade and Santa Maria style rub give you the big flavor of the California classic!
Chef Tom cooks up one of our favorite recipes of all time… and if you’re looking for something a bit lighter for the New Year, this is the perfect dish!
