Ingredients:

1 pound asparagus
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

1. Remove and discard the tough bottom of each asparagus spear by grasping each end and bending it gently until it snaps at its natural point of tenderness, usually 2/3 of the way down the spear. Using a vegetable peeler, peel off the outer skin from the bottom half of each remaining spear.

Grilled Baby Back Ribs

Posted by Bradley47 | 4:42 PM |


Ingredients:

1 rack baby back ribs
1/2 brown sugar
1/4 cup chili powder
1/4 cup mustard powder
2 tbs garlic powder
1 tbs paprika
1 tbs onion power
1 tbs black pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cups hickory wood chips
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
bbq sauce

Directions:

Remove the membrane from the ribs. This is important for maximum rub and smoke penetration.

Mix all ingredients (except for ribs, wood chips, BBQ sauce, vinegar and soy sauce), and massage into ribs. Refrigerate overnight.

Soak wood chips in water. Prepare a charcoal barbeque grill by putting the charcoal on one side of the barbecue. Once the coals have ashed over and are white-hot, place the ribs on the side of the grill opposite of the coals. DO NOT PLACE RIBS DIRECTLY OVER COALS.

If you're cooking more than 1 rack, coil the ribs using wooden toothpicks or bamboo skewers. The ribs should cook at 275°F for four hours. Use a charcoal chimney halfway through to keep temperature consistent.

Every half hour, baste with combined vinegar and soy sauce and throw a large handful of wet hickory chips directly over the coals. Keep a metal bowl of water to the side to maintain moisture.

Posted by Bradley47 | 2:05 PM |


Ingredients:

  • 2 Pork Tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Sauce Marinade:
  • 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 2 green onions thinly sliced (including tops)
  • 1 cup bottled cocktail sauce
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Dijon style mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
Directions:

Prepare pork tenderloins by trimming them of any silver skin and fat; butterflying them by cutting lengthwise down the center but not all the way through. Place tenderloins in a shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set aside. In a microwavable bowl combine the garlic, lime zest, lime juice, green onion, cocktail sauce, brown sugar, mustard, honey, oil and vinegar. Stir to combine well; microwave on high about three minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly. Reserve 2/3 cup of the sauce marinade, cover and chill. Pour the rest over pork tenderloins in baking dish, taking care to coat evenly. Cover and chill for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally.

When ready to grill, remove tenderloins from the baking dish and discard the used marinade. Grill over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145 to 150 degrees, basting regularly with the 2/3 cup reserved sauce marinade. Remove the tenderloins from the grill when cooked. Let the tenderloins rest, loosely covered with foil, about 5 minutes before slicing thinly to serve.
