We love Chili around here, and the season is right. Instead of ground beef, we take a page out of the competition chili handbook and swapped to tri-tip as it is lean, and will continue to stay tender when braised without falling apart. Enjoy!
Chef Tom cooks up an amazing pot roast recipe using brisket point meat, a classic mix of potato, onion, mushroom and carrots and a bottle of red wine to bring it all together.
Summer is coming to an end and we're quickly approaching tailgate season. It's the perfect time to be outdoors and enjoying the good food with good people. Steak Modiga might just be the perfect addition to your late summer or game day cookouts! We're pounding out sirloin steaks, marinating them and breading them with cheese and breadcrumbs before rolling them up and placing them on skewers. It's almost like a pinwheel version of chicken fried steak!
Chef Tom tackles another brisket, Texas style. Instead of trimming out the point and flat and cooking them separate, we cook the full packer brisket and instead of foil we use butcher paper to wrap the brisket to help retain moisture and maintain our color.
All the great things you love in a Bloody Mary (optional vodka, on the side) plus the goodness of grilled strip steaks. This is a salad that will not disappoint!
Chef Tom grabs a couple recipes out of Steven Raichlen's newest cook book "Project Smoke" and creates a killer combination of tri-tip and horseradish sauce that is to die for.
If you're someone who loves a good burger, but is always looking for ways to kick it up a notch, how about grilled cheese sandwiches for buns? Yeah, let's do this!
If you're looking for a fun way to spice up your grill life, check out these cheeseburger dogs. They're essentially a cheeseburger morphed into hot dog form. Oh, and they're stuffed with cheese!
Chef Tom breaks down our awesome recipe for Competition Brisket. This technique has been honed over time as we have cooked with barbecue geniuses like Andy Groneman of Smoke on Wheels Competition BBQ and 'BBQ Brian' Misko of the House of Q.
It's not exactly the meatloaf you grew up eating. It's wrapped in bacon, cuddled up to cream cheese and beer battered onion rings and kissed with chipotle ketchup, all before getting a bear hug from a sweet slider bun. I don't want to say it's better than what your Mom made you as a kid, but it is.
Who doesn't love a killer Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich? Here we make our take on a classic American food...that's where this Philly Cheesesteak Recipe comes in. It's simple, but with a few tweaks it goes from good to great.
If you're seeing snowflakes in March, this might be just what you need for Sunday supper this week. It's a really simple process that just requires a bit of time, as any good stew does.
Beef jerky is an awesome snack to keep around the shop or office. We cook up two LEM jerky seasonings, Sriracha and Cracked Pepper and add a little bit of our favorite rubs to the mix as well.
I’m sure you have an arsenal of quality party foods to top your table as you gather with friends and family to watch basketball this month. We just can’t resist sharing our favorites with you, so here’s one more. Just in queso…
