Rubbed down with a simple rub or marinated all night in something delicious. Sliced thin for fajitas or enjoyed by itself with a nice baked potato. The tri-tip roast holds its own as one of the most tasty and also under-appreciated cuts of beef.  The term “tri-tip” is derived from the fact that the tri-tip...

Posted in Beef, Featured, Recipes

  In my experience, the most delicious “recipes” are the most simple.  Simple ingredients that don’t mask the taste of the main product and most importantly, focusing on good technique.  This is one of those “recipes”.   This is less of a rib roast recipe and more of a “don’t screw up this expensive and...

Marinated London Broil for the Grill

June 3rd, 2011
Posted in Beef, Featured, Recipes

London broil is one of most confusing names in the world of meat.  First of all, London broil means nothing in London (kind of like asking for French Fries in France).  London broil refers more to a cooking method than an actual cut of meat.  As far as I can tell the “broil” refers to...

I got a new grill about a month ago now.  After years of buying crappy box-store brand grills, I finally sprung for a top of the line grill and have learned so far that you definitely get what you pay for.  During my search, I was back and forth about whether or not I really...

Tex Mex Burgers with Guacamole

March 18th, 2011

My favorite ethnic food by far, is Mexican. The cheese, the jalapenos, the mariachis… its pretty amazing. So, of course, the idea of a burger inspired by some of my fav Mexican flavors sounded like a great match. The guacamole added to the burger gives it a clean, fresh taste and is a perfect balance...

Flank steak soaks up marinades at about the same rate I devour a plate full of red curry chicken at the Thai restaurant.  Flank steak’s love for marinades allows me to throw together a quick marinade, give it a good soak and have a great meal in less than an hour and a half…a weekday...

Beer Marinated Flank Steak

An excuse to buy a 6 pack and a steak?  Count me in!  Flank steak is an awesome cut of meat.  I think it sometimes gets a bad rap because people don’t understand how to cut the meat.  This cut of steak should always be sliced thin, against the grain, for optimal tenderness.  Sliced correctly,...

Flat Iron Steak

April 18th, 2010
Posted in Beef, Featured, Recipes

Up until recently, I hadn’t ever given much thought to flat iron steaks.  Actually, until 2002, the only though any butcher had given to this cut of meat was how quickly they could get it into the grinder. The flat iron steak (also known as top blade steak) was “developed” in 2002 by two researchers...
