About to do a spatchcocked chicken & butternut squash on the grill ..

[GAM]

I googled it, I do that all the time and did not know it had a name.

I never heard of it until Robert mentioned it to me a few weeks ago. It's a first time for me

Found some stunning 20 0z boneless ribeyes at Chaters yesterday! I was too busy drooling and slobbering to get finished pics....

Those are some nice looking rib eyes! One thing I miss about living in Alberta is being able to get steaks like that on the cheap at pretty much every grocery store.

Well it just so happens this was western beef, the marbling must have gave it away! And oh so hard to find beef with that sort of marbling around these parts. Man, it was like eating beef butter. BTW those 20 oz steaks were only $12 each

Rack o baby backs marinaded in Balticus Smoked Porter for 24 hrs. Served with the same beer = unreal!

I threw the potatoes on for a slow roast along with another one of those crazy steaks on the lower grill since ribs usually take 3 - 4 hrs and I was ready for supper sooner. Well, the beer marinade tenderized them so much they were done about 10 mins after the steak! Around 90 mins in total

The marbling definitely did give it away. Those used to be on my grIll at least once a week. Probably best for my heart that we did move back to the Maritimes.

Nice price on the steaks. And yes, very hard to find. All the rib eyes I've come across up this way have been far too lean.

Those ribs look awesome!

Fish and beets.

Pork shoulder and smoked turkey done for a party over the weekend. Pork was on a little over 14 hours. Turkey went for 4 hours at a higher temperature. Served both pulled.

Looks tasty leafman

Beef. Baseball steak with a lot of Mexican flavour =

Right back at you Nash. Baseball steak looks great! What are you doing with the potatoes? Looks like sliced and baked with butter (or EVO) and chili powder, then topped with cilantro? And the grilled pepper looks awesome.

Food looks great fellas!

Thanks! I rubbed the potatoes with evoo, s&p and chili powder then roasted indirect on the grill low and slow, about 250 f. Sliced afterward, a dollop o butter with a little more chili and pepper. They were almost better than the steak, creamy like butter inside

Just some nice big grain fed turkey wings I picked up this evening at the Superstore, $5 and change / kg. I grilled them slow (should have gone even slower though) and basted a few times with some Kansas City Classic BBQ Sauce that my oldest stepson and I made this week.

Ill post some pictures soon but just to share a couple favorite recipes:

Wheres the beef? Burgers:
Ground lamb
Ground pork
Spices (I usually do Montreal steak spice)
These are aweeeeeeesome burgers!

Black bean ribs:
Nice rack of ribs
Barbecue sauce of your choice
Black bean sauce
The black bean sauce makes the ribs sticky and gives it such an awesome flavour!

For a side I usually do skewered green, red, yellow and orange peppers sometimes with zucchini and mushrooms, as well as red onion. To sauce these you can come up with anything! Thats whats so awesome, its a versatile side but a lime pepper butter works well.

I went to Oultons (farm up in Windsor next to Martock) and the meat there is INCREDIBLE!! If anyone doesnt mind a short drive for some amazing meat I highly highly recommend that place. Beef tenderloin there is unbelievably cheap- I got 11 1 inch steaks for 28 bucks! Also, bought some pork belly to make my own bacon and buddy just brought out the whole side of the pig and sliced the pork belly off of the ribs. Just a fantastic place! No processed crap, animals are raised in natural environments. They have everything there- emu, bison, boar, chicken, pork, beef, duck - EVERYTHING.

My bacon recipe:
Brined for 4 days in peppercorns, grated ginger and about 500 ml of a blood orange hefeweizen that had been infused with orange, lime and lemon. Equal parts sugar and salt (1 cup). Pretty fantastic little mixture.
Hot smoked on the barbecue with applewood chips for about 2 hours then cold smoked for another hour. I dont have a green egg yet so I'm still amateur.
I would have cut down on the salt probably by about half, the bacon was just a bit too salty for my liking but unreal flavor from all the other ingredients!


Anyway, just a couple things to join in on the conversation!

I love two things in this world: FOOD and BEVERAGE!

A wee road trip to the Prince Edward Distillery, lots of great booze and lots of great food....

Grilled up some trout with a chipotle rub. Made a chipotle slaw and a dressing with lots of heat and smoke (to apply at the users discretion). Made some fresh corn tortillas to put it all in. Damn tasty, although the iphone saturated the yellow spectrum and kinda made it look gross.

EDT: could have used some cilantro.
