Watch what you ask for you may get it. I made this appetizer and it was delicious! However, I could not think of a name. I am a proud member of Smoking Meat Forums, a wonderful resource for information and ideas on smoking. I asked the kind members of the forum for help in naming the appetizer. A mini-poll took place and the name Disco Balls was chosen. You see, my handle on the forums is Disco. So despite the interesting name, welcome to a great appetizer, Disco Balls.

I love marinated beef. I love brochettes. I love grilling on my Weber Genesis Grill. It was a beautiful sunny day. Time for Steakhouse Beef Strips. Continue reading Steakhouse Beef Strips →
Here was the situation. It was an unseasonably hot spring day here in the mountains. It seemed perfect to cook a steak. She Who Must Be Obeyed agreed if I did the potatoes and cooked the steak to medium. Sigh, she must be obeyed. I fired up the Weber Genesis grill and went to work.

This post is not a recipe. It an example of how I make a meal. It is about as basic as you can get. I cooked a steak and baked potato on my Louisiana Grills Pellet smoker and used one if its best features, the direct flame grill. Continue reading Steak and Baked Potato Dinner →

When you have great beef, you don’t need to do a lot to make a great meal. I just seasoned the steak with Louisiana Grills Mesquite Rub N’ Grill and cooked it on the Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker. Continue reading Grilled Fillet Steak →
For New Year’s Eve, She Who Must Be Obeyed got me one of my favourite cuts of beef, Tri Tip. I took the opportunity to try a feature on my Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker. It has a panel you can slide back that opens a grate that is directly over the firebox. This should allow me to get a great char on the steaks. Continue reading New Year Steak →
Steak! With the cost of beef it is becoming a rarer and rarer item on our table. Add to that the fact it isn’t She Who Must Be Obeyed’s favourite meat and I find it a real treat when we pick up a piece of steak. So, I fired up the Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker and tried one of the seasonings I got from them, Smokey Sweet Spicy Hot Seasonings. Continue reading Smokey Spicy Sweet Hot Steak →
The next step in my education on the Louisiana Grills Pellet Smoker was to try a steak. I am not independently wealthy so a nice rib steak was out of the question. I picked up a piece of inside round about 3/4 inch thick. Continue reading Steak on the Pellet Grill →
My buddy, Bill, had tried this commercial marinade and liked it.
As he is a good buddy, he brought me a bottle of it, Clubhouse LaGrille Signature Steakhouse 30 minute Marinade. I had a couple of sirloin steaks and gave it a try.
