Promise. #ElYucateco #GoNative2020 #KingofFlavor So, this social distancing, cooking at home all the time thing is getting….boring, mind-numbing, frazzling? Well, at least for me it is. I mean, the wife and I typically cook at home a lot. But there’s always that, “Hey, I don’t want to cook, let’s go out” option. That’s not so easy anymore. Now, it’s like, how can I turn these…
Carne Asada
It’s grilling time y’all and this carne asada is gonna rock your world! Well, I hear it’s “grilling season” right now, but I’m not sure what that means. Here in lower Alabama, it’s grilling time all the time. And this is on my grill at least once a month. My favorite thing about this carne asada is that there’s no crazy crap that goes in there. The marinade is quick to put together and is just everyday ingredients you probably have in your pantry or fridge anyway. Except the limes and if you had to, you could use bottled lime…
Jagermeister Pulled Pork
Jagermeister pulled pork is a very weird thing to make – not that it’s weird, it’s weird for me. I hate Jagermeister and just the smell makes the wife want to barf. But some how, some way, with a little too much wine if I had to guess, we found ourselves talking about and coming up with this Jagermeister pulled pork. I don’t even know why it happened. Weird I tell ya. Since we both hate Jagermeister, we had to go out and buy some. And we bought a big bottle, so there will be more Jager recipes to come,…
Shoulder Tender or Teres Major Steak – The Most Tender Steak You’re Probably Not Eating
Shoulder tender or teres major steak – the most tender steak you’re probably not eating …? What kind of title is that? I know I could have done better with that, but it’s the only way I could put it out there in a way that you might want to click on it to see what the heck I’m talking about. Not that I’m a click monster, no. I just want you to know about this cut of meat. It’s to my detriment too, because just like oxtails and beef shanks, when this steak becomes mainstream, the price will skyrocket…
Lamb & Beef Kebabs
Lamb & beef kebabs are packed with fresh ingredients and packed. with. flavor! I have had kebabs before. I don’t live under a rock. But I’ve actually never made them before. Until now. And I’m totally kicking myself in the ass because really, I’ve been missing out. I hate it when that happens. These lamb and beef kebabs are so easy to put together. Yes, there’s some fresh ingredients you need to chop but not too much. The fresh bits make it though and they really shine in this. It is truly a flavor explosion in the best possible way.…
Grilled Steak with Spicy Herb Salad
Three events led to me this salad: A photo of a grill, herbs, and the hated weekly newspaper. All seemingly unrelated, but they came together in the perfect food storm. The Grill I saw a grill in Bon Appetit magazine – it was the Kudu grill and I had to have it. After a tad bit of research, and a quite bit of begging to management because I had just bought a grill that same week, I ordered it. Big disappointment when I was put on a waiting list. Ok, whatever, I can wait. Herbs Meantime, my life goes on, oatmeal,…
