[Breadhead]

1. Steakhouse Steakburger's with homemade Brioche buns.
2. Last Meal Ribs.
3. Char Sui Ribs.
4. Spatchcook chicken.
5. The Caviar of BBQ... Burnt Ends.

[EdF]

Yeah the Char Siu ribs are definitely on the radar around here. Other than that, never a disappointing recipe, except when I did the turkey inside with too much liquid in the pan.

Mostly. it's the techniques that win for me, and the explanations!

[Spinaker]

I bet!!!! Breadhead

[RonB]

Breadhead - everything looks great, but the chix looks devine.

[Spinaker]

Just wanted to bump this up......I am always curious to see what other people's favorites are.

My favorite chicken recipe is Simon and garfunkel rub accompanied by Everglades seasoning and a light dusting of Weber kicking chicken seasoning on the PBC. I also include fresh ground pepper. Made it tonight and it's the best chicken I've ever had and my wife agrees. It's over the top delicious!

It's funny because I really don't have a list of favorite recipes from the site. Most of what I have done is take what I had and have incorporated what is here or what others have suggested. I have adjusted recipes I had, accordingly. A good example is the BBQ sauce. I took a bit of Meathead (love the tamarind paste) and a bit of mine and came up with something way better than I did on my own. Unfortunately, I don't write down a lot of the changes I have made "as changes". I just slide the old card out and put the new card in the binder.

Another example is CandySueQ 's Prime Rib suggestion with the table sauce. I thought "Wow, I am going to score the Prime rib, cook it and use my own chimichurri sauce (which I stole from Three Guys from Miami and posted here a few times)" and used that as my table sauce. I could not have been happier. Prime Rib to the 12th power! The Pastrami recipe is golden - added a tbs of Allspice and a TBS of Coffee to the rub. I'm a cheater though, because I haven't cured my own round or brisket.

I should have stock in Anova though, because while I still prefer my smoked Tri-Tip, I have sold at least 10 SV machines to friends with Breadhead 's thread about his perfect tri-tip. They all have gas grills and I printed out his time-table for cooking. I gave it to a buddy who promised to make a copy and don't know where it went. Maybe Anova owes Breadhead a few bucks?

In the end - there is nothing in the recipe section or in the threads that I have tried that I though "Wow, won't do that again". From temps to recipes to cooking times. They all turn out great food. Sometimes I make adjustments to what I had and sometimes I think "I like what I used to do better". None-the-less, I have yet to be disappointed by the recipes or suggestions. That's why this place is awesome.

[CaptainMike]

Was this your short answer?

[tbob4]

CaptainMike - My long answer was "It's all good" Hahahaha

[PJBowmaster]

There are SO many really great recipes. From Last Meal Ribs to Crack N' Cheese. But I'll go with the Rub Recipes. All of these are better than anything I have purchased in the store.

1. Meathead's Memphis Dust
2. Big Bad Beef Rub
3. Simon & Garfunkel Herb Blend.

[CaptainMike]

Made the Crack N' Cheese a couple of nights ago, sooooo gooood!

[Steve Vojtek]

That is a really hard question for me cause I usually don't pick favorites in life. There is always something new and better on the horizon.
Ive tried a lot of recipes from AR and have yet to find one I didn't like. But there are so many more to try.
If you want to know what my favorite recipe from AR is the only answer I can give is:
" The one I'm trying right now "
But if you asked which recipes I repeat the most I'd answer " no particular order of preference "
Maple bacon, S&G chicken and Meatheads Glob - that stuff is really good!
But then again I tried Dave's pastrami perfected and it will also be repeated regularly.
Then there is the pulled pork and brisket and crack'n cheese and lamb lollipops and so on etc.......etc....

[CaptainMike]

1. Curing meats, especially pastrami; 2. Korean Kalbi; 3. Chimichurri sauce and everything else on the site.....

[MillerTime]

Wow - thanks for all of the input! I am definitely bookmarking this page and have some cooking to do.

[Storlok]

Hard to limit to three, but ...
1) The Brisket
2) The Pastrami
3) Huskee's Original Shawsh BBQ sauce

On a side note, our household has fallen in love with a veggie rub for grilling that comes from an alternate spice blend listed in Meathead's http://amazingribs.com/recipes/lamb/...sheep_dip.html recipe. Or rather, a sub recipe for http://amazingribs.com/recipes/slaws...asparagus.html . It is an alternate to the Simon and Garfunkel Rub, as listed on the recipe page. I use it on just about every veggie that I grill.

[CandySueQ]

1. Secretariat Horsey Sauce -- I don't even have to look at the recipe any more!
2. Change your Life Rich Red Wine Sauce -- perfect name for this.
3. Still working on this one -- too many to choose!

[Steve Vojtek]

I've been eyeing of the Change Your Life Rich Red Wine Sauce for a while now. Is it really that good?
And having just asked that question I think it was a silly one. It's Meatheads recipe of course it must be good...

[Breadhead]

"I don't even have to look at the recipe any more!"... I have a spaghetti meat sauce I've been making since Hector was a pup, that is to die for. I haven't used or found the recipe in years. It's a handful of that, a half of a handful of this. A few pounds of hamburger and a pound of sausage. Mmmmm

[kent_polk]

Last Meal Ribs, The White chicken, and Pastarmi

[Reds Fan 5]

AR's techniques (like the life changing reverse sear) are more valuable to me than individual recipes; however, playing along:

1. Prime rib with Mrs O'Leary's Cow Crust
2. Mussels
3. Board sauce

Have not had the time or patience yet to try the pastrami.

I am only just getting ready to try my fifth recipe from the site this weekend (if you count making sauce and rub, cause those are three of my five). I'm a total rookie to smoking meat, but I have eaten a ton of barbecue in my life. And being on the East coast, I've learned to love a good mustard-based sauce. I've had many mustard sauces to date, but this week I made the Carolina Gold sauce for the first time (looking ahead to using it with pulled pork this weekend). That was so much better than any other mustard sauce I've ever tasted, it was incredible! It had such a wonderful complexity and depth of flavor - wow. My wife and I both kept sneaking back into the kitchen as it cooled to sample a little bit more, and every time it was like "Oh my GOODNESS! I can't believe how good this is."

I've only made two sauces, and Last Meal Ribs with Memphis Dust, but everything I've made has been spot on and delicious! This is the legit place for great recipes.

[EdF]

Well, thanks for the reminder, since I'm making pulled pork this weekend too!
