I was going to cook these two strip loins for Canada day but my wife wanted chicken so we ate chicken yesterday. Today I cooked these strip loins on the 22” Napoleon kettle, I did them hot and fast, I put them on a hot grill, flipped every minute and they were done in seven minutes tonight. I also made Chef Jean-Pierre’s mushroom sauce to go with them and they were very good, I was pleased with my results.

I made a version of Troutman's Texas Red. I’m calling it “Woke” Texas Red.
Added a pack of Rancho Gordo Domingo Rojo beans and chopped roasted Hatch chiles.

Cubed some prime NY strip steaks.
Working that new pan searing the meat in beef tallow.

And the veggies with the spices sautéing

Love the broth these Domingo Rojo beans make. It’s almost good enough to drink straight.

Simmering away for 4-5 hours

California version minus tofu, pineapple, and clams….and politics! Yum!

I decided to make summer sausage a little while back. I finally got around to doing it this weekend. It came out great, but I am never making it again with a kitchen aid.

The kitchen aid metal meat grinder is great for the grinding I do, but stuffing 15lbs of summer sausage with it was miserable.

I used this recipe:

Summer Sausage – easy version – 2 Guys & A Cooler

https://twoguysandacooler.com/summer-sausage-easy-version/

I didn't have a sausage pricker and the stuffing job wasn't the best, so the casing isn't tight, but the taste is excellent. 15lbs made 6 sticks, but I was ready to call it quits after the first one.

I will not revisit this or similar recipes without a proper stuffer.

Tonight's dinner--mussels with bacon, shallot, thyme and some wine. Even put some of the wine in the pan. Honest. Served with crusty bread. There's enough leftover for tomorrow's night dinner paired with linguini.

It was a wet and rainy day today...My friend from Belize called me this morning just to shoot the breeze....He and his wife gave me the Idea to cook up some Belizean Stewed Chicken.

Instead of regular kidney beans I opted for Rancho Gordo Pinquito's stewed with onions, garlic, 1 roasted green chili and bacon. I used the bean water to make the Basmati Rice (that's what we had)... First time I ever did that.....Well ya learn something new every day.

Of course you can't go wrong with Fried Plantains.....Over all it was a winner winner chicken rice and beans dinner....Plantains too.

My cousin and his youngest son, who just graduated high school, are visiting this weekend. They are both carnivores and enjoy BBQ. And it’s close enough to Independence Day that we all thought a big BBQ was in order. I happened to have some beef ribs that were part of my Secret Santa gift ( DaveD is the bomb!) and added a chicken to the mix. Made Meathead’s sweet n sour slaw and Stacy made pasta salad. Was an awesome feast.

And Dunkin is still hanging tough and will be with us for the 4th!

Not a ton of time to take photos, long cook for a hungry crowd. I did snap some shots of the results however. Beef cheek barbacoa tacos, absolutely one of my all time favorites. If you've never tried and can source beef cheeks, by all means do not hesitate to do so.

Went to cook some 'Que for a friends fourth of July weekend get together...Loaded up the PBC, GMG, and a Toyota p/u of stuff for the cook Saturday.

Fired up the PBC at 6am, seasoned with SPG and some modified MMD. I will confess that when the butts were wrapped I moved them to the oven to finish cooking so that the PBC could be freed up for round two.

When the butts came off I put on three racks of ribs, two baby backs and one St. Louis cut. Each rack had Butcher BBQ Steak & Brisket Rub, Heath Riles Honey Chipotle Rub. Then one rack got modified MMD, one got Meat Church Texas Sugar, and one got Heath Riles Apple Rub. All three racks came out amazing.

Also, on the GMG I did a batch of Malcolm Reed's Creole Shirmp Dip and a batch of Captain Rodney's Dip.

The whole cook went super smooth.

Funny side. After running for about 11 1/2 hours I plugged the holes on the PBC to snuff out the coals...I went to dump the coals around 11am Sunday and there was still some warm ones in the basket so the coals in their and loaded it in my truck. About an hour later I went to leave and there was smoke coming out of the rebar holes. We took the garden hose and soaked the coals and I got on the road...
