From the Grill or The Smoker.............................

[Uncle Si]

Got the idea from the best BBQ in Texas thread.............. What are some of your favorite things put on the smoker or grill............. Favorite season/rub? Favorite BBQ sauce? I am a simple guy that cooks simple, I have stuffed and smoked pork loins, chicken breasts, and other things but afterwards I always find out that sides are made for the side not for covering up the taste of the meat your smoking or grilling IMO.... I'll start with grilling and Ribeye's....... 1. Choose a good cut (I prefer 1 inch thick) with plenty of marbling. 2. Let your steaks warm to room temp before cooking. 3. Get your grill hot... I cook ribeys at atleast 400 degrees (this is important) 4. Place steaks directly over the heat and cook for 4 minutes per side. You should get a dark caramalization on the outside and a medium rare inside. 5. Remove the steaks from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes before serving......... Everyone season's their steaks to their liking and there are many, many ways to do so. You can never go wrong with a little sea salt, cracked pepper, and a little garlic powder this is probably the most popular blend of steak season and it really allows for the steak to be the main flavor with subtle garlic, salt, and pepper accents. I would however encourage you to go by your local brookshire brothers and go to the Fiesta brand season rack and get the Fiesta Brand "Uncle Chris' Gourmet Steak Season". It is absolutley the best commercial steak season that I have ever tried. It is a really great blend that doesnt over power the beef flavor of the steak. If you try this make sure to use  liberally and I promise you will not be disappointed. Will post more later.......

I like smoking pork backbone. Slow and low heat.

A favorite seasoning of mine is Montreal steak seasoning. You will be impressed. I often pre-coat a steak with a little olive oil before seasoning. If I have time to prepare and want to get fancy I'll top it off with a blue cheese and butter compound mixture kicks it up a notch. I'm getting hungry.

Mix Tony's seasoning in with a  1/2 cup of water and some Worcestershire sauce. Mix good and inject that into a brisket. Cut up Garlic cloves and using a steak knife, stab into brisket, so the garlic is "in" the brisket. The more the better.......

 

Then I use rub Worcestershire all over brisket and season outside withy Texjoy. 

 

Then place it on HOT grill....You want to sear both sides.......so, depending on heat, leave 5-15 minutes a side........Then place that in smoker on grill and smoke around 250-275 for about 1 hour.......Then I place in pan uncovered and smoke for another 2 hours........then cover pan with tin foil and finish in oven at about 300 for another couple hours.........

 

I sometimes add onions on top when I cover and place in oven......

 

It's very tender and taste great

I have used the montreal season blends and I do like them, but if you get the opportunity and want a little change of pace try the Fiesta Brand Uncle Chris' Gourment Steak season.  You may still prefer the montreal but I know that you will be suprised.

On the Grill..................

 

Bacon wrapped Chicken Breasts:

 

1.  Cut chicken breasts in half (down the seam)

2.  Season with Tex Joy BBQ season and garlic powder

3.  Wrap breast halves with thick cut bacon using toothpicks to hold in place  (chicken takes a litte longer to cook so thin slice bacon will burn before the chicken is done)

4.  Insert jalapeno slices between the bacon and chicken

5.  Cook on grill at 275 for 45 minutes.  Dont overcook or cook to hot the chicken breasts, they will dry out quick.

 

Very easy/simple, but very good.

Interesting Hippy, I haven't heard of that brisket recipe before.

Mat....

 

   My grandmother used to inject seasoning and pieces of garlic into a pork roast and cook in the oven overnight on I think 225 or 250.......

 

That was soooo good.....

 

She was a coonazzzzz

I also prefer Uncle Chris' Steak seasoning.  I cooked a couple of ribeye's and a 2 pound sirloin last night.
