Picanha from my homegrown Dexter/Jersey cross. The processors halfway scalped it, but that's ok. Cooked over red oak at medium-low heat (6-8 hand seconds). I like a little bit of flame on mine. Pull at IT=110F and rest 15 min. Slice into steaks and then over high heat. Sear for a few...

... here's one. Homemade guajillo chile based rub. Smoked about 1.5 hrs at 250F on Weber kettle with hickory chunks. Basted with homemade sauce for last 10 minutes. Slice it up and it's dinnertime. Plated with mashed potatoes, made from homegrown gold and purple potatoes. Thanks for...

Up to 85+ today and overcast. Good day (relatively speaking) for cooking over open fire. 2-bone section of plate ribs cooked at 250+ for 3.5 hours over oak/hickory, then rest at 170 for 30 min before cooling to RT. Lot of work for just 2 ribs worth of meat, but was worth it. Served with fresh...

3-bone rib roast from Dexter steer, dry brined and simple rosemary/garlic rub. No special occasion - lovely wife wanted a roast. Had one in freezer so ... A previous SMF post with video and country blues accompaniment is here. Smoked in Weber kettle with applewood chunks. Used drip pan with...

Man I love smoked meatloaf. Smoked on Weber at 230-250. Used guajillo/ancho/smoked serrano rub. Brushed with sauce and topped with jalapeños after 1 hour. Juicy and flavorful. Hard to beat. Served with roasted broccoli and cauliflower. Thanks for looking.

Sirloin marinating with Peruvian aji amarillo paste while watching Preakness. Cooked directly over coals, no grill grate. Let rest for a few while I consume some beverage. Remove skewers. Almost forgot a plated pic showing inside. Thanks for looking.

Got our latest Dexter steer back from processor. First tried some hamburgers, then strip steaks, then ... Picanha. Too bad there are only 2 per cow. Most people smoke them or stick them, but I prefer a twice-cook grilling method for picanha. First slowly grill whole roast to rare, let rest, cut...

We were looking forward to having friends over for one of those too infrequent dinner parties. Then the better half tested positive for covid. Fortunately symptoms are relatively mild. Canceled dinner party. Funny how it can almost seems like 2020 again. But we have hanger steak (one of my...

Top round steak, sliced thin, a Thai marinade for 3 hours, threaded onto skewers, grilled over high heat. Topped with sauce and served with purple cilantro potato salad, cucumbers, eggplant. Everything homegrown, including beef. Beef was very tender and tasty.

CivilSmoker made me do it. Costco beef back ribs, precut. Seasoned with salt and pepper, then cooked on Santa Maria grill over red oak, 275-300 F (7+ hand seconds). Brushed with Korean glaze from dirtsailor close to end of cooking. Thanks for looking.

Does anyone else feel this way? If I wanted pork loin, I would buy a pork loin. I want to grill my baby back ribs without that mountain of loin on top. I know, I know, people want meat on their ribs. But loin really doesn't need to be cooked past 150F, and I like my ribs grilled to 180-200F...

Been longing for smoked meatloaf. Decided to turn it up a notch with some chile peppers. Meatloaf - 80/20 ground beef, poblano chiles and onion. Rub - guajillo and smoked serrano chiles, brown sugar, Hungarian paprika, spices. Topping - jalapeño slices. Glaze/sauce - homemade smoky hot sauce...

Flank steak from Dexter steer. Another one of my favorites. Homemade rub (guajillo, smoked serrano, garlic, paprika, brown sugar, salt). Cooked over oak/mesquite wood fire on santa maria grill, maybe a little on the rare side. Nice smoky beef flavor. Wife was happy. Spinach sautéed with garlic...

Ribeye steaks, homegrown Dexter steer, seasoned with salt. First asparagus of the year. Only 4 spears, but they're starting to pop up all over. Red potatoes - smashed with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper. I'm not very good at grilling smashed potatoes. They always fall apart. But they...

Tri tip from homegrown Dexter steer. Dry brined overnight, then dusted with cracked pepper and garlic powder. Cooked over red oak at about 5-7 hand seconds, turning every few minutes. Mighty fine indeed. Thanks for looking.

Replaced our old electric glasstop stove with a new GE-brand Cafe glasstop. Decided we should also replace out CI skillets with new carbon steel, which should not scratch the glasstop as readily. The CI skillets were my go-to pans, and they have a well seasoned interior. But the outside bottom...

I like to grill flank steak at medium-low heat, maybe 275-325. Dry brined overnight, then a beef rub (no salt) before cooking over red oak. Tender and juicy with good beefy flavor. Served with chimichurri, sweet peppers & onions, Caesar salad.

Beautiful day in the neighborhood, so fine time for some grillin'. Top round steak marinaded overnight for London Broil. Cooked over red oak coals on santa maria grill, along with sweet peppers/onions and broccoli. And I sometimes like a drizzle sauce for my meat.

From our last processed Dexter steer, we got one side of beef navel cut into halves. The other side was cut into our usual short plate (dino) ribs. I really like the ribs but was willing to sacrifice some for a navel to make bacon with. Son #2 was visiting for the holidays so good time to give...
