What are you grilling today?

This man has earned his red wings. I have not.

 

We decided to have a fondue night, but true to tradition I had to grill something, so I grilled the steak and chicken before chopping them up. Also smoked some sausage and mushrooms to give them extra flavor. Nothing wrong with grilled fondue. LOL.

 

I was put in charge of dinner tonight, so i picked up a 2.5lb tomahawk steak and corn on the cob. Grilling at 225 for 90 minutes or so.

 

So what's everyone else gonna have?

 

I could have eaten the entire thing, but i was nice and shared...this time
Finished tomahawk, was incredibly delicious

 

Marinated top sirloin, veggies, and peaches with a little brown sugar

 

Yum. Add some vanilla ice cream to dem peaches

 

You do anything else to the peaches besides brown sugar?

How long you cook them?

 

The level of grilling and the quality of y’alls grills is overwhelming! I’m embarrassed to show you the little bit of grilled tofu we had for dinner...

I like to toss this on a salad with garden tomatoes, lettuce, avocados, green onions, carrots, mushrooms, and a nice balsamic vinaigrette dressing.

 

They were plenty ripe, so just a few minutes each side over low burner, started face down, sprinkled brown sugar on after the flip.

 

I have never had tofo. I saw a BBQ program on TV the other day where the host grilled tofo; looked very similar to yours. I am kind of curious to try it.

 

Left alo

left alone, it’s sort of flavorless mush. This makes it a pretty good blank slate for flavors with spice and herbs.
Drain off all the water and lay slices on a dry towel for an hour or so. Then marinate in your favorite stuff. It contains no oils, so you need to include oil in the marinade to keep it from sticking to the grill. Takes a gentle touch to flip it without breaking up.

 

I was curious once . . . didn't like it at all. I did try it fried a second time and it was aiight.

 

Being a sucker for southern food, today was grilled sweet potatoes, green bean casserole (cause who says it should be for Thanksgiving only) and grilled boneless pork chops with homemade apple sauce.

 

It was a beautiful evening for grilling.

 

Spareribs & corn on the Traeger

 

Pretty much anything. There is a learning curve, but the results are worth it. Lots of info online. Just google whatever you want to cook and add “on the pit boss”, “pellet grill” or “Traeger” and you’ll find lots of recipes. Make sure you do a initial burn first. If you don’t already have one, get a wireless multiprobe thermometer.

 

You will love that thing. I own 7 grills & smokers. I used to grill at least 5 times a week, alternating between different grills. Since I got the pellet grill I have hardly ever used any of the other grills. It's been about 2 months now and I have used the propane grill maybe 5 times at the most. The pellet grill is just so versatile and easy to use.

 

I recommend downloading the trager app, lots of great ideas/recipes on it.

 

Pork loin and fries on the pellet grill. Loins were seared on a very hot griddle plate first before putting on the smoker.

 

Heck yeah!!!! I like to do what is called reverse searing. I use this method in my pellet grill and really gives a good smooth and rich taste of beef.

Get you some ribeyes and season how you like. Set the Traeger in a low setting of about 225. Throw the ribeyes on and let them get to an internal temp of 115. Should take about 20 minutes or so. Pull the steaks off and let them rest on the side. Crank the grill up to 450 degrees plus. Once the grill is up to temp, put the ribeyes back on. About 2 minutes of searing on each side will bring them up to 125 to 130 internal temp which is a nice medium rare. Steaks this way taste great and have a nice rich smoke taste but not too much!!!

One of the easier things to do on a pellet grill.

 

It is about to go down!!!! Wife made the most amazing cheese dip and the kids are munching on that right now.....

For anybody that likes to cook, Malcom Reed and How to BBQ Right is a must follow. I have made about 7 or 8 of his recipes and they are all absolutely killer!!!!
