Cooking

My wife picked up some "Ninja Rub" from Wal-Mart and we grilled some pork chops last weekend using it. Tonight, we grilled chicken using it and paired it with some mashed potatoes and corn...it was delicious!

[Headhammer]

Dinner last night was a staple-seared tuna with a wasabi cream sauce and grilled peaches stuffed with goat cheese and topped with a balsamic glaze.

Father's Day dinner was by myself last night. Chanin and Connor are in Ocean City, so I could cook what I wanted and I wanted homemade fresh Aussie beef sausages with onions and gravy, braised cabbage, peas with dill and mashed spuds.

Made hamburger bbq, for all those not in my area sloppy Joe’s. Made it for the guys at work and am doing curly fries in the oven when I get in. Always a good meal, going to have to start grilling and doing lighter things with the temps getting warmer. Doing a brisket next week for the guys so it’ll be a long cook for dinner next week.

I'm in on a rare OT night and the boss made strip steaks, peas and pierogis.  We squeezed it in between a decent wreck and chasing an odor.  Hopefully the night's quiet!

I would drink that marinade (pre chicken of course)

While it does look something similar, it's actually marinade for pork jerky. I used to make loads of pork jerky on the smoker but just kind of stopped. Figured I'd try a batch with the Pit Boss since it has so much room that I didn't have before and it just does all of the cooking work for me. Pork loin was always my go to because it's already very lean, it absorbs a lot of flavor from the marinade, cook time is less than beef, and the end product is so tender and tasty.

Walter White ain't got nothing on me..

Made spaghetti sauce from scratch for the guys at work tonight they loved it as per normal 

[MattF]

No pics, but did a smoked meatloaf yesterday...needed just a little more breadcrumbs for binding.

[tommc23]

I need to remember to take pictures more. Did a whole pork tenderloin and it turned out phenomenal juicy and my dry rub was great on it

Another Trip Tip and sausage night. This time making sweet potato fries for the side. 

Smoked these spicy links in the Pit Boss, then sliced and finished them with one of my favorite sauces. 

Tri tip all smoked up resting before for the reverse sear. 

Reverse sear over the sear box on the Pit Boss 

Final product..

Perfect temp ML...looks delish

My basil plants are growing like weeds this year so I had to find a means to pick a bunch and put it to work...cold pasta salad with basil pesto...not too bad, especially when it's super hot outside.

My wife is pretty much vegan now so grilling is much easier, also get the nicer steaks lol. She was a more burnt the better person always struggled timing it

Gotta go with the nice ones!  Well whether it was intentional or not that one looks just right.

NY Strip has always been one of my favorite cuts (still right up there) until I discovered the Coulotte. In Brazilian churrasco (BBQ) it's known as the Picanha where they leave the buttery fat cap on it. They sell it at Costco labeled as "Sirloin Cap" but unfortunately they remove the cap. Still the best cut IMO! Extremely clean cut with absolutely no gristle. Pretty lean but extremely tender and flavorful! 

In fact, I think I might pick me up some this week.

Grilled a whole chicken and a tri tip tonight. Made the tri tip on the rare side but it was still awesome, just used salt and pepper on it. Used my dry rub on the chicken because it typically turns out really good.

I’m grilling T Bone steaks tomorrow (between rain storms) and hope to remember to take pics!  I always forget to take a decent pic until we’re 1/2 way consumed the steak!  
The Filets last weekend were really good!

I like rare too but the goal was medium rare so I misjudged and my skills were off tonight.

Have you tried the Smoky Montreal Steak seasoning? Adds a really nice flavor to the meat. Have used it on chicken and pork as well, but you need to use a lot less than on beef or it overpowers the meat.
