So what's going on YOUR grill?

[kaelaria]

I have a few lbs. of chicken thighs marinading in my special sauce for the next couple days, and haven't decided what else to do with it. I do it low and slow for 2-3 hours depending on the charcoal I'm using. 3-4 flips and bastings later it has a sweet, hot crunchy crust and falls off the bone! It's even better the next day...

So what's on YOUR menu??

How do you do your Tri-tips? I've seen them at Costco a few times and know that it is supposed to be a really tasty cut of meat, just not very popular in the Midwest.

Robert,

In prepping the Tri Tip, I thoroughly aerate each side of the TT with a fork as this helps to tenderize the meat.

I sprinkle each side with a good amount of black pepper, powdered garlic, and a small dose of salt, and generally will let that sit in the frig for a few hours prior to grilling. You can let it sit overnight too.

The meat is grilled over charcoal and hickory chips. The chips have been soaking in water for an hour minimum.

On an uncovered grill and directly over the majority of the coals, I will cook the meat 1 min per side and then 2 min per side to help seal the juices. I will then add a good handful of the hickory chips (drained), turn the TT to cook a bit to the side of the majority of the coals, and place the cover on the Weber grill and cook the TT as follows:

3 min per side;
4 min per side;
5 min per side;
6 min per side;
7 min per side;

It’s when you get to the 6 and 7 min per side marks that you’ll want to make the decision on when to remove your meat to the side as to complete the prepping or completion of other dishes, as the meat during this period of time will reflect medium rare to medium depending on the thickness of your TT.

Sometimes I’ll simply drag the TT over to the side of the grill and keep it covered as I’m completing some steamed broccoli to complete a side dish, etc.

There’s a few other things I do to TT, but I think this will be a great starter for you. You can’t go wrong with TT and it is simply a great meat to BBQ on the grill. Hope you enjoy the TT Robert.

got some NY strips been sleeping for a few days in the 'special sauce' gonna set them on fire tonight.

BBq'd last night... some homeade burger patties with cooked crumbed bacon in mixed in the centers...

Basically just a touch of bread crumb, red chili flake, onion & garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce and a dash of fresh ground pepper.

Nothing planned for this weekend, but that made for a wonderful thursday night dinner

Well get ON it brother!

If I was grilling today, it would probably be some sort of onions/peppers/sausage combo. That just sounds great today!

[G G]

Well I am at work and doubt that I will be grilling anything. Maybe Monday.

[HK3-]

Nothing today since I have to head to Chicago for the night....

LOL, well that's the EXACT reason I'm not grilling today as well

At least there's a UFC fight tonite after I get off work. Something to look forward to I guess.

This thread has inspired me to grill today! I do not yet know what though!

What's the best way to do tenderloin tips/ beef tips?

[markem]

20 lbs of brisket going on the smoker with mesquite wood chips soon. Smokey dry rub and apple juice spray to keep it moist all day.

Grilled some flank steak for some fajitas last night, turned out very nice. First time I tried it with this marinade I made up.

3 garlic cloves minced
3 chipolte peppers chopped
adobo sauce
juice of one lime
shot of tequila
chili powder
cumin
paprika
black pepper
salt

Mixed together, let it sit for a few hours to blend the flavors and put it on the beef about an hour before it goes on the grill.
