Ohhhhh Magnificent Marinades

A marinade is a mixture of various liquids, herbs, spices and other flavorings that's used to improve the flavor and texture of meats, poultry and seafood. Common ingredients include:

•Vinegar, citrus juice, or some other acidic liquid
•Oil, either neutral or something with flavor like extra-virgin olive oil, hazelnut oil or sesame oil
•Prepared condiments...various mustards or sauces
•Alcoholic beverages, from beers to wines to spirits
•Fresh herbs, fresh veggies, garlic, fresh fruit
•Dried herbs, spices and seasonings; salt of some kind - sea salt, flavored salt, kosher salt, pickling salt...just about any salt but iodized table salt
•Sweeteners, including cane sugars and various syrups
Just about anything with flavor is fair game as a marinade ingredient.

Bacon Wrapped Sausage Appetizer Recipe

To make these, you will need a one pound Polish sausage or kielbasa, sliced bacon, brown sugar and toothpicks.
Slice the sausage into disks about three-quarters of an inch thick and cut the sliced bacon in half.
Wrap a half-slice of bacon around the outside of each of the sausage disks and secure with a toothpick. The wrapped sausage should resemble a little cup, with part of the bacon slice extending above the top of the sausage.
Add a teaspoon or so of brown sugar to the top of the bacon-sausage cups, and they are ready for the smoker. They can be placed directly on the grate or in a shallow pan. Cook them right alongside the smoking ribs or brisket.
When they're done, the sugar will be melted and the bacon will have begun to get crispy. Eat 'em while they're hot, and try not to fight over them. They are that good.
To add some variety to the bacon wrapped sausage snacks, try placing a thin slice of fresh ginger or some red pepper flakes under the sugar. Or give them a shake of black or red pepper on top. Experiment with other flavors and have fun!

Poultry Smoking Tips



Before you start smoking, I’d like to share a few "secrets" that will help you create the best smoked poultry ever.

1.Brining works magic on poultry

A brine of salt, sugar, seasonings and water can do wonders to poultry. During the brine, liquid is absorbed into the flesh, adding moisture, flavor, and improving the texture. The absorbed water also conducts heat, so the plumped up bird will cook faster.


2.Don’t overcook poultry

Whole poultry can be challenging to cook because different parts of the bird are done at different temperatures. Breast meat is done at 170 Fahrenheit, while the thigh is done at 180 F. Foil placed over the breast partway through smoking will prevent it from overcooking. Remove the bird from the smoker when the thigh reaches 175 degrees and the breast reaches 165. The temperature will raise five degrees as it rests before carving.

3.Add seasoning underneath the skin

To make the best use of seasonings and rubs, put them between the skin and flesh of the bird. This is where they'll make the greatest contribution to flavor.

Get your Rib Roast at CCM and Try This!

Oven Baked Smoky Beef Rib Roast

Ingredients:
  • 1 bone-in beef rib roast
  • Salt and pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Liquid smoke
Dry age the rib roast in the fridge for two-to-four days in a large container, lightly covered with foil. Dry aging concentrates the flavor and tenderizes the meat.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a remote thermometer probe into the center of the roast. Cover the rib roast with a loose fitting foil tent. This prevents the outside of the roast from excessive drying as it cooks. Pop the roast into the oven.
Roast that wonderful hunk of beef until the internal temperature reaches 120F, then remove it from the oven to rest. In twenty minutes or so, the internal temperature will rise to 130F.
Crank up the oven temperature to 500F, and crisp the outside of the beef roast for ten minutes or so. Don't overdo it or the house will fill with smoke (like mine did!).
Remove the roast from the oven and cover it with the foil tent until ready to serve. The interior of the smokyh prime rib roast should be perfectly cooked to a beautiful medium rare. Enjoy!

So just what are Baby Back rib?

What Are They?

To classify as babyback ribs, the slabs should weigh under 1 3/4 pounds each. As a rule, the smaller sides are taken from younger pigs, but occassionally larger slabs can have a little extra taken off to meet the weight limit.
Preparing the ribs is quick and easy, since most of the trimming has already been done. The main consideration is to be sure that the membrane has been removed from the bone-side of the slab. Simply push a butter knife under the fell (the membrane) between the ribs and lift. Grab the flap with a paper towel and peel if off. There may be fat deposits left after the fell is removed. Scrape those off.

Get your London Broils at CCM

London Smoke / Marinated London Broil

It's a top round roast, formerly known as "London broil". Recipe good for up to 5 pounds of beef.

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup chablis wine
1 tablespoon onion granules
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons celery salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Mix together the Worcestershier sauce, soy, vinegar, wine and dry ingredients. Whisk in the oil, making an emulsion. If you don't have a whisk, or the energy to whisk, use a blender or food processor. Pour the oil in very slowly so it incorporates and thickens the marinade.
Marinate the top round for at least 6 hours, and preferably overnight.

Smoked London Broil, aka Smoked Top Round Roast

This can be cooked in a smoker, or grill-smoked in your Weber kettle or your gas grill.
Preheat your smoker or grill (smoker to 225-250 degrees Fahrenheit, grill to 300-325 degrees). Add some smoker wood (oak is very nice with this recipe), and once the smoke starts rolling, position the beef roast on the grate and close 'er up.
In the smoker, it will take roughly 30 minutes per pound. In the hotter grill, figure on 15-20 minutes per pound. These are just guesstimates on the cooking time. This cut of meat is best cooked to medium rare, or 140 degrees. Since meat continues to cook after it's taken off the heat, pull it out and let it rest when the internal temperature reaches 130-135 degrees. Cover it with a piece of foil, and leave it be for 20-30 minutes. Juices redistribute during the rest period, which makes the smoked London broil much more moist when served. Slice across the grain, at an angle, and into very thin slices.

Beef Brisket with Garlic


Try this great recipe.This beef brisket with garlic may well be the best brisket you've ever tasted. Roasted whole garlic cloves have a delicious mild nutty taste with just a hint of garlic flavor. This brisket is moist and tender.

Beef Brisket Recipe Ingredients:

* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 (5 to 6 pounds) beef brisket, rinsed and patted dry
* Kosher salt and freshly-ground pepper
* 40 large cloves garlic, peeled (about 3 to 4 heads of garlic - see Notes)
* 1 large sweet onion, sliced and separated into rings
* 1/4 cup red wine or balsamic vinegar
* 2 to 3 cups beef or chicken broth
* 2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
* 1 teaspoon dried basil


Beef Brisket Recipe Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Season beef brisket liberally on both sides with kosher salt and freshly-ground black pepper.
Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy, deep-sided, oven-proof skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Add olive oil to coat the bottom. Sear both sides of brisket, beginning with fat-side down, until golden brown. Remove to a platter.

Add garlic cloves and sweet onion rings to the remaining oil in the pan. Cook and stir until garlic begins to turn golden and sweet onions are limp.

Add red wine or balsamic vinegar and deglaze the pan, stirring for 1 minute while scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add beef or chicken broth, oregano, and basil.
Bring back to a simmer, then turn off heat. Move garlic and onions to the side and return brisket to the Dutch oven or skillet. Spoon garlic and onions over the top of the brisket, cover tightly, and place in the oven.

Bake beef brisket for 1 hour at 325 F. Reduce heat to 300 and bake an additional 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until brisket is fork-tender. Remove brisket to a platter and cover to keep warm. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Remove half of of garlic cloves and most of onions to a bowl.

Skim off excess oil from the pan gravy and discard. Blend pan gravy and garlic until smooth. You can add a flour or cornstarch slurry to thicken gravy, if you wish. Return reserved whole garlic cloves and onions to the gravy.
