Very cool day here in New England and a TriTip on the menu. This was a bit of a process, last years coals in this cooker were uncooperative, inheritently they burn down to smalls which inhibit air flow, a distraction, an effort that eventually after a lenghty considerable time they do come to rise...then it happened. The cook was on, time to make love...and so we did. It was a marinated piece in a Japenese BBQ sauce overnite and then fork tendered for texture a few hundred times to soften. Placed on the grill with wrapped potatoes in a Southwestern rub, flipped twice and all was nice. Started with a Carrot soup to begin having a peanut butter final addition, cashews on the top then all plated with Cheesy Mex Cauliflower and soft tender potatoes.

I bet you did though, you have to dress it up to play it up. The steak was wonderful, I lit up a cigarette right after.

Following up on my curiousity deal to David Chang I made approx 5lbs of Boerewors with a 50/50 blend of pork and beef. The ingredients were a bit different from a conventional sausage, this one had some unusual additions as worstershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, cloves, corriander & nutmeg, to name a few giving the sausage a unique tangy flavor, but in a good way with a desire to keep reaching for another slice. I did toss in some red pepper, half a Jalepeno and parsley all for color, and almost tossed some in red pepper flakes, had the jar in my hand, but figured straying to far from an original recipe might not be a good thing, besides the wife complains if it's too hot. The meat was prepared on my offset running 200-225 for 2 1/2 hrs to 160 internal using cherry and oak. I know the traditional way is over an open fire, however this method always turns out a nice product and for a few hours I get to feed and work a fire, now that's entertainment.
