Memorial Day Must Haves

Memorial Day Tbones, Filet Mignon, Kansas City Strip Steaks and Chicken Breasts

Soon enough Memorial Day will be upon us. It’s time to honor those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice and enjoy some family time.

And family time ALWAYS includes food. It’s just a given.

My Memorial Day feast absolutely must include steaks, steakburgers, all-beef hot dogs and brats.

People will revolt if not.

But the variety of steaks is where I can get creative. I like to serve an array of meats from Filet Mignon and Kansas City Strip Steak to Wagyu Beef. Who could complain about that?

In my backyard, there’s always something for everyone. And that means everybody’s happy.

I can’t think of a better way to spend a holiday!

Ribeye Cooking Tips

Ribeye Cooking Tips

My absolute favorite steak is the ribeye. It’s meaty, it’s loaded with flavor and I crave it.

High heat and quick grilling is the best method for these yummy steaks. You can check out more cut-specific cooking tips here. The ribeye deserves respect and attention so I always give it what it deserves – you know, before I devour it.

You can do the same. Try this amazing Grilled Ribeyes w/Chipotle Lime Paste and Flavored Butter recipe. This is a great enhancement to the flavor of the cut and it’s absolutely delicious! Respect the meat!

Ribeyes are special. And when you’ve got the right process and the right recipe, grilling steak has never been so fun!

Grilled Ribeyes w/Chipotle Lime Paste and Flavored Butter

Ingredients:
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tsp. ground coriander
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 tsp. minced chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
1/2 cup frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
1 tsp. seasoned salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup softened butter
4 (1″ thick) Ribeye Steaks
lime wedges

Directions: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. When hot, add oil, coriander and cumin; cook until spices sizzle. Add chipotles, limeade, salt and cilantro; simmer (uncovered) until reduced to a thick paste about 3 to 4 minutes. Cool. Remove 2 teaspoons paste and stir into softened butter. Place on plastic wrap and form into a 1/2″ thick square. Cover and place in freezer until needed. Rub remaining paste into both sides of Ribeyes Steaks; place in gallon-sized zipbags (2 steaks per bag) and seal, forcing air out of bags. Refrigerate for 4 hours, turning bags occasionally. Remove bags from refrigerator 1/2 hour before grilling and keep at room temperature. Place steaks on hot grill and sear both sides; reduce heat slightly ( or raise grill rack for charcoal) and cook until desired doneness, turning once. Remove butter square from freezer and cut into 4 equal parts. Top each steak with a flavored butter pat and garnish with lime wedges.

Championship Brisket Rub Recipes

Championship Brisket

Beautiful weather gives me the energy to experiment with new recipes and try new things.

Those sunny skies make me want to share a good old fashioned Kansas City brisket with friends and neighbors. This Championship Brisket is the perfect canvas on which to bring out my artistic flair.

When I buy brisket I intend to personalize it with something like a traditional Kansas City dry rub (like this delicious Kansas City Rub recipe) or maybe even something spicy like this recipe for Barbeque Rub that includes cayenne pepper and chili powder.

While the Kansas City Rub features dry mustard and ground cumin, there’s a special rub I really adore called Rubbed the Right Way. It calls for brown sugar (delish!), basil, oregano and lots of other great seasonings. It’s a fantastic combo of flavors that really brings out the natural flavor of the brisket.

Ready to try your own? Check out more brisket rub inspiration here and enjoy!
