We’re going big on flavor this week with these Chorizo Stuffed Pork Chops and Smoked Salsa Verde! The pork is first marinated in a scratch-made mixture of fruit juices, tequila and aromatics, then stuffed with salty chorizo and cotija cheese before getting some char on the Kamado Joe Classic Joe II. Couple that with the bright flavors and smokiness of the salsa verde, and you’ve got a winning combination!
Warning: This is not an ordinary steak sandwich. Between the char kissed, thin sliced tri-tip roast, the huge flavor of a scratch-made sweet tomato jam, the creamy cilantro cream cheese spread, quick pickled red onions and toasted bolillo bun, this is decidedly an extraordinary Tri-Tip Steak Sandwich. Proceed with warranted excitement!
There’s nothing like building a fire and cooking a meal over it. It’s a primal way of cooking that connects you to your food and creates incredible flavor, color and texture. The Clementi Pulcinella Wood Fired Oven gives you the opportunity to do this in style. In this beautiful, delicious Wood-Fired Chicken Flatbread recipe, we explore the versatility of the wood-fired oven and win big with the finished product!
Check out these Backyard Baby Back Ribs for low maintenance, perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy ribs! Sure to please a crowd without overworking the pit-master on his day off, backyard baby back ribs are perfect for any occasion!
It’s nearly Pheasant season here in Kansas so Chef Tom takes some Pheasant breast from last year's hunt, wraps them in bacon and cooked them up on our Yoder Smokers YS640.
Big, bright, beautiful flavors explode out of this fantastic grilled fish, that can easily be translated to other types of fish, making this a versatile recipe that you’ll want to hold onto for repeat performances!
Chef Tom was up at the Kansas Speedway with Yoder Smokers cooking the 810 Sports Party at the 2017 American Royal (the world’s largest barbecue competition) and cooks up some Chopped Flank Steak Street Tacos on the Yoder Smokers 24×48 Flattop Charcoal Grill.
Chef Tom shows you two techniques for freezing and storing fresh peaches for use year round. Plus, we make a peach salsa recipe that is sure to impress.
Chef Tom cooks up a classic Tacos al Pastor recipe on a Kamado Joe Grill. This fusion of Lebanese and Mexican dishes and techniques packs big flavor. You will marinade your pork for an hour and cook in the traditional method on a rotisserie.
This is a solid potato side dish for a Tex-Mex or Latin inspired meal. It features longaniza, a sausage similar to chorizo. I know at our house, and here in the All Things Barbecue teaching kitchen, we’re often cooking Latin inspired foods, so who wouldn’t like another fantastic potato side dish to fit!
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.
