Everybody making this lately so I had to try some. I used JJ's marinade:
Threw them on the weber with a chunk of apple wood
Let them go for about an hour then put right over the coals for reverse sear
Lookin good
Test pieces mmm
Pulled at 145F and rested
Perfect
made some fried rice with leftover steamed rice
Great flavor, marinade is awesome!
Try it out
