Whole Smoked Ribeye Recipe A whole smoked ribeye is one of the finer things in life. You can’t beat good beef – seasoned with a heavy dose of corse salt and black pepper and brought up slow in wood smoke until it’s just a tad over rare. That makes my mouth water just writing it! For this cook I bought …
Smoked Tomahawk Ribeye Recipe This giant steak loves getting smoked! I started with a 3lb 2” Thick prime tomahawk ribeye steak from my buddy Kevin down at The Butcher Shoppe. Tomahawks are huge bone-in ribeyes. They’re cut off the loin and a long section of the rib bone is left attached to each steak. Now this steak is more than …
Cast Iron Steak Recipe There’s nothing like cast iron for getting a serious sear on a steak. Some folks will even argue that cast iron is the only way to cook a great steak.

Pellet Grill Brisket Recipe The only thing it takes to create amazing brisket on a pellet grill is time!

Herb Crusted Beef Tenderloin Recipe For this recipe I start with a PSMO whole beef tenderloin. You can save some money by buying the tenderloin whole and trimming it yourself. If you want to skip this step just ask your butcher for a center cut piece of beef tenderloin. This is the same cut used to create filet mignon steaks. …
Chuck Roast Burnt Ends Recipe For this recipe I wanted to see if a chuck roast cut into burnt end size portions would be as good or better than brisket point burnt ends. I’ve seen several videos where pit masters smoke a whole chuck roast then cube it but I wanted to try something a little different. I cut the …
Gringo Carne Asada Recipe Carne Asada literally means “grilled meat”. And Skirt Steak is most often used but you can substitute flank steak, sirloin steak, or just about any thin cut of lean beef. The steak is placed in a flavorful marinade for several hours to help tenderize it and then it’s grilled fast over hot coals where it develops …
Guinness Flat Iron Steak Recipe Flat Iron steak is my go to cut for a quick and inexpensive dinner. These steaks typically run about 5.99/lb at the grocery store so for around $12 you’ll have a steak that can feed 3-4 people easily. The flat iron is cut from the chuck area of the steer and has a similar texture …
Mississippi PoBoy Recipe I’m not exactly sure of the exact origins of the Mississippi Pot Roast but it’s been floating around the internet for years. Typically it’s prepared in a slow cooker and served over mashed potatoes or rice. This dish is a crock pot staple in the South, but I’m putting my spin on it by cooking it out …
Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich Recipe I don’t know if there is a sandwich more fitting for the “Super Bowl” than the Chicago Italian Beef. Hailing from the South Side of Chicago, this sandwich has it all: Piles of thinly sliced, hot beef nestled in a soft bread smothered in tasty “beef juice” topped with sautéed peppers and spicy giardiniera; it …
Beef Cheek Tacos Recipe Last summer I had the opportunity to teach a weekend class with Matt Pittman at his Meat Church headquarters.

Big congrats to Jay & Jamie Durbin from Tennessee Mojo and their entire Nuts n’ Butts team. I had already decided to smoke Beef Ribs for my recipe this week, but after Jay’s win I …
Smoked Wagyu Tri Tip Recipe This Smoked Wagyu Tri Tip is serious business…. Wagyu beef has been popular in competition bbq for many years. I started cooking wagyu because the marbling (fat content) makes for a better tasting, easier to cook brisket. I’ve found that you really have to try to ruin a piece of Wagyu beef whether it’s brisket, …
