Kansas City Style Brisket Burnt Ends Recipe This week my buddy Richard Fergola from Fergolicious BBQ stopped by and showed me how to make his award-winning Kansas City Burnt Ends recipe. Fergie started with just the point of the brisket – this makes it easier and faster than cooking the whole brisket. Of course, we cooked it on an Outlaw …
Hanging Tomahawk Ribeye This recipe started out as a test just to see how it would turn out, but I’m telling you if you have a drum smoker you have to try it out. I’ve cooked Tomahawk Ribeyes several different ways but I’ve never tried to hang one in my drum. My buddy Brian from Son of a Butcher BBQ …
Smoked Picanha This might very well be the absolute best beef roast I’ve ever cooked… The Picanha – or Sirloin Top Cap – is an extremely tender beef roast topped off with a 1/4” layer of delicious fat. It lies right on the top of the whole sirloin and is often used in Brazilian steak houses or in the US …
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. I don’t completely agree with that (Grill Grates and Charcoal have won me a lot of money!); but if you want a delicious crust on your …
Pellet Grill Brisket Recipe The only thing it takes to create amazing brisket on a pellet grill is time! Some folks might claim that the only way to produce a brisket with authentic Texas-style bark and a smoke ring is by cooking it on a stick burner pit, but I’m hear to show you how you can do it on …
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. We had a great group of students and they were treated to a first class experience. Matt brought everything he knew about Texas Style Brisket and Beef Ribs and I showed everyone how to cook Memphis Style …

Top teams from all over the globe come together to compete in “the Holler” just below the distillery in Lynchburg TN. The event is special for cooks and spectators. It needs to be on your …
