We're still kind of geeking out over cast iron plate setters for the kamado style grills. Last week we were baking pizzas on it. This week we're grilling flank steak directly on top. This is a pretty classic, solid fajita recipe that is simple and easy to translate to whichever cooker you're using, so non-ceramic grill users-- read on, as well!
Get set for a romantic Valentine’s with this simple dinner for two. We’re grilling strip steaks, topping them with a delicious compound butter and mushrooms along with some angel hair pasta. It’s not difficult to dress up steak and pasta with a few easy tricks!
I mean, the title of the recipe tells you everything you need to know to want to COOK THIS NOW! And the fact that the marinade also has a jalapeño kick is a bonus! This one is super easy and only requires a handful of ingredients, and I promise it’ll make for some killer fajitas!
Moink balls (that’s “moo” and “oink”) are beef meatballs wrapped in bacon. If there is one BBQ appetizer that you need to know about, it’s the moink ball. It’s beef, it’s pork, it’s awesome!
Chef Tom takes the ultra popular beer can burger and puts a twist on it, because what would a burger with beer in the title be without beer in the recipe?
Sous vide has taken a jump in popularity lately with the introduction of more and more affordable sous vide units on the market. This has brought the cost of home sous vide down and has introduced the technique to those who had never heard of it mere months ago. Chef Tom takes an amazing Creekstone Farms Master Chef Choice Cowboy Ribeye and sous vides it in the VacMaster SV1 at 49ºC and cooks it for an hour and a half. After that he quickly sears it off for flavor on our Yoder Smokers YS640 Pellet Cooker setup for direct grilling.
Chef Tom walks us through the process of direct grilling a Creekstone Farms Master Chef Choice Cowboy Ribeye Steak on our Large Big Green Egg; similar to the Kamado Joe Big Joe or Kamado Joe Classic.
When our friends at Cattleman’s Grill asked us to come up with a killer steak sandwich recipe it was a no brainer. We use the Cattleman’s Grill rubs more than any other when it comes to grilling steaks around here. This recipe is built around the earthy flavors of their Smoky Chipotle Coffee Steak Rub. The coffee flavor works great with the smoky spice of the chipotle, which we’ve amped up with the steak marinade and the aioli on the sandwich.
Compound butter is simply butter enhanced with supplementary flavors. Herbs, spices, other aromatics and even cheeses are stirred or whipped into room temperature butter, which is often then chilled back down to be used later to top meat, vegetables or enhance a sauce.
Though the sous-vide technique was first developed over 40 years ago, it has only recently made its mainstream debut. Chefs in quality restaurants have long used this technique, and now sous-vide machines are becoming much more available to the general public. The idea is simple, really. Food is vacuum sealed in a bag and submerged in circulating water in which the temperature is precisely controlled.
Very simply, the term roulade refers to rolling meat. This simple idea is a fantastic technique that can be translated to a variety of meats. In fact, we’ve visited this idea a few times in the past. The Southwestern Stuffed Pork Loin, Chicken Spedini, and Turkey Roulade are great examples. When it comes to beef roulades, flank steak is usually top dog. We, however, are kind of crazy about tri-tip right now, even if it will require a little extra effort in this application. This recipe will take a whole tri-tip roast, sliced horizontally and meat glued together to give us something similar to the shape of a flank steak.
This grilled roast beef uses the traditional flavors along with Butcher BBQ Prime Dust to take over the top. The horseradish Creme Fraiche is great on prime rib too.
Fajitas just got a whole lot better! With a burger in the middle of a tortilla surrounded by melted cheese and fajita veggies, this recipe is a keeper!
