We begin with the Tenderloin…coated with Kansas city spice
The Cadillac of steaks:
Then add the Lamb Skewers encrusted with chili seasoning & minced garlic
The master works his magic in the dark…
Meanwhile…fried parmesan cheese crisps for the top of the salad medley
It’s alright, you can drool
The masterpiece:
NOW LET’S EAT!
A bouquet of lamb chops
Chipotle seasoned with garlic
2 and a half hours at 250
Served with parmesan pasta and garden fresh broccoli flowerettes
Several weeks ago…
Steak tips – hoisin sauce marinade
2 and a half to 3 slow smoked hours
Ground lamb skewers with southern chili spice
…on a stick
Barbecued chicken
Bahahaha.
Look. At. That.
On the Big Green Egg for 10 hours.
Look at the baby. Sitting there all nice and pretty.
So excited. So happy.
Also on the menu: homemade baked beans. With molasses, vegetables, pineapple.
At last, time to unwrap the baby.
Best presents come in tin foil packages.
For the last 3 hours, he wrapped it up to hold in all the juices and keep it moist.
Outer char. Inner tender. Almost fell apart while unwrapping the tin foil.
There’s a sight.
Here’s what’s on today’s agenda: RIBS
Father prepares happily, despite the rain.
He’s using this handy little rack thing to hold everything up as it is caressed by the smoke.
All of a sudden, Father yells “Come here, QUICK!!”
What does he want to show me? The huge amount of smoke emanating from the BGE.
Ha ha. Who has a face full of smoke now??
He pulls them apart and coats with love:
Next Week…cat?
Assembly time:
Love him.
Final Plate:
Don’t forget the Pineapple Upside Down Cake
It wasn’t even a Sunday and out came the big green egg.
We were even kind of healthy. Kind of.
Look, see those leaves in the background?
Father was frothing at the bit to show me what was inside.
He carefully turned the chicken while clutching an icy Rum and Coke in the other hand.
The final tablescape: Seasoned chicken topped with pieces of smoked pork belly. Served with a chopped egg summer salad (walnuts, blue cheese, craisins, dressing medley). MMMM.
9 Hour, 200 Degree Beef Brisket…
Look at the dog in the background:
A quarter-inch bark of supreme love coats the exterior.
Look at that face:
Gravy: hand-made with pureed mushrooms for added flavor.
Fried Cheese. Look:
With a bouquet of macaroni salad from Amy’s kitchen.
And a fresh tossed salad topped with fried parmesan chips.
Don’t get any better than that.
Sirloin strip steaks…with molasses infused garlic sauce.
BBQed for 4 minutes per side @ 700 degrees.
Served with a side of STUFFED MUSHROOM topped CHEESY ORZO.
ORZGASMIC
Learn fast, they do, these padawan learners.
Fresh from Uncle Scott: Smoked Pork Ribs on the Big Green Egg.
The early stages:
Rack ’em and stack ’em using my Father’s special rack.
After 6 hours, they emerge- Glistening.
The force is strong with this one.
