  • It's peaceful at night.......

    This is a re-print from awhile ago, but thought I'd put it up for informational purposes..............

    It's peaceful at night.......




    So I'm all done with Memorial services, hopefully for a long while,
    but there's always some good reason to cook stuff !!!

    Last Sunday of the month,
    Somebody gave me a big can of beans......
    Somebody else bought a 24# bag of tri-tip.....

    I got a new t-shirt.....



    Any number of reasons......

    Set for a slow burn on 2 tri-tip....



    Kinda heart shaped, isn't that nice ?



    Injected with some woosty type stuff & rubbed with fine ground tarragon
    & some Montreal steak spice I got from MacEggs....

    Did some pork butt (Ron's 'In the House)
    & used that big can of beans underneath ~~>




    One pan with honey & sweet stuff & one with savory additives....
    Both with shreadded pork from leftovers......



    In they go ~~~>



    After a couple of hours, pull out the pork on the grate, insert bean pans & run beans for about 5 hours....




    While this is going on, gotta get some deep fried tater salad
    fixed up....
    As this recipe develops, I'm slowly but surely moving towards 50 / 50 bacon & taters....





    Not worried enough to get that Maverick 732 out of the package yet,
    the dawgs will wake me up when it's "Time to Check the BBQ"

    Next AM ~~~>

    Beans.....



    Pork...



    Wish this pic would have been better, it was a small chunk of bark that stuck to the grate (cook's treat)
    & I stuck the Screamin' orange in there....Reading: 200.4�
    Just over the legal limit ..... :D



    While the tips are finishing, we'll need some kind of appetizer that isn't just zucchini...Ahhh, 'turds & choinks !!



    & something special for dessert...
    Dessert 'turds...

    Straight cream cheese, several blueberries, on top of a habanero, bacon wrap & go...





    the blueberries distract ya while the top of yer head blows up, these ones were hot !!!

    They get to ride in the little bus...



    But wait, there's more !!!
    Remember that Tri-tip ?



    Been going about 13 hours @ 190� more or less...

    Peel the fat cap, which cooked on the topside the whole time....



    & shread it...



    Pan 'o beefy goodness !!



    Load it up & get across town to set up the rest of the stuff

    Zucchini...



    Grilled tri-tip (searing the outside edge)



    Injected with a bit different mix than the pulled stuff, seared, grilled @ 400� for 30 -35 min. to well done...




    The nice lady that bought the bag of tips asked if "I was slicing something up back there?"....
    I traded her for helping me get a pic of what marinated, injected,
    cooked with fat cap up tri-tip comes out like ~~>





    ^^^^^^
    That's a dam droopy 3/8" slice, in my estimation..... :D

    Thanks, Betsy !!!!

    Everybody had a good time & got real full....



    Oh, & one buddy of mine had dessert 1st ~~~>



    Fruit salad & a hab / blueberry 'turd !!!!


    A long, but fun weekend.....

    Thanks fer lookin' !!!

          TX, Doug.....been a fan since the early 60's....my older cousins turned me on to all that stuff!!!!

          TX, Slanted88.....my friend told me of a vision he had: that I'd be old & infirm & in a wheelchair & unable to move, but still be able to cook a phenomenal tri-tip with the power of my mind ..........
          I said, yeah, i could see that happening......

          TX, sam.....Fun to cook for crowds like that.....plus a captive audience for crazy new recipes !!!!!
