Steaks don’t taste right if they are not seared in my opinion. This raises a problem if you want to put your steak in a smoker and get a smoky taste on it. You have to cook at low temperature for a longer period to get the smoke taste on the meat and that doesn’t sear it. Continue reading Sear & Smoke Steak
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. Continue reading 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. Continue reading Grilled Steak and Potatoes
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
Sometimes you deserve the best. That first happened for me when I met She Who Must Be Obeyed. This time, I had two nice beef tenderloin steaks. We deserved them!
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.
