What’s on the Grill

Up for today….turning a corned beef brisket flat into a lump of smoked faux pastrami.
Noon…All dressed up, and ready to head out to the smoker that’s chugging away with a few chunks of post oak for smoke.

The rub recipe I use can be found at this Weber Smokey Mountain user site
It’s pretty straightforward…not too complicated…just my speed.
Got a few hours in, and a few left to go…but I probably won’t be cutting into it until tomorrow, to make some Reuben sammiches.
:cheers:
Nice day for it here!

Definitely worth the time IMO…nothing quite like this smoked corned beef flavor. When it’s sliced right, it is super tender.
YUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That looks awesome!
A few months ago, I opened the screen door onto our deck. Wind kicked up huge, ripping the door completely out of my control. Door got bent all bent out of shape.

Simultaneously, our gas grill flew off the deck and crash landed with parts of the grill flying here, there, and everywhere.

Fortunately, we were able to put it all back together, hook it up to a propane tank and fire it up once again (no explosion).

I love huge, thick, juicy marinated grilled Chuck Steaks.

Went to the grocery store this morning, with a hankering to buy a nice thick Chuck Steak.

At $13/lb, I passed and bought 2 lb of 80/20 hamburger for $7/lb and an 8 pack of hamburger buns.

I also love quarter pound burgers, with or without cheese. (y)

The first thing that came to mind was groundhog. Turns out I never heard that, Chuck Steak, learn something new everyday.
Yeah , beef is expensive

LOL me neither. But I live in Quebec and speak French, so , once in a while there are a few English expressions that I am unaware of, like Chuck!

It all goes back to the 1800s when Conastoga wagon trains traveled East to West on their way to California. Each wagon train had a "Chuck Wagon" that carried all of their food supplies. Cattle drovers also had a "Chuck Wagon". After the cows were bedded down for the night, they all sat around the campfire, close to the Chuck Wagon singing Cowboy songs. It's also reasonable to mention that groundhogs are often called "Woodchucks".
Hence the confusion and explanation that the term "Hog Wagon" was a bit unappealing.

Tri-tip on the fire pit today…got a bit of yard work done, and started this…perched way up high…

Then a flip, to expose the crunchy bits…

Dropped down low for a good finishing sear…

Not perfect, but nearly so…a nice medium. I was shooting for medium rare, but hey…it’s certainly edible!
That was better than yard work!
 
Mentioned in The Chat Box we were doing grilled Fajitas last evening. And here's the proof. Grilled marinated flank steak. I do either skirt of flank depending on what the store has. I prefer skirt.... but both work. Veggies are Two colors of bell peppers, poblano peppers and onions. Simple seasoning. Salt, pepper on all and a bit of cumin and garlic in the marinade. Grill the veggies in a Grill Wok. The Wok was a nice addition to our grilling tools.
