This simple tri-tip rub was part of the Trash Can Smoker article I created over at Central. It’s very easy and still a favorite with my peeps.
Cinqo de Mayo: Rodney’s Tequila Porterhouse
We go from Star Wars Day to Cinqo de Mayo tomorrow. There are tons of recipes for all kinds of traditional Mexican cuisine both here and at Central. If different is what you’re after, though, how about this killer Tequila Porterhouse Steak? It’s from Rick Browne’s terrific book, The Ultimate Guide to Grilling.
Melinda’s Costa Rican ‘Perked’ Coffee BBQ Sauce
A prize-winning recipe for barbecue sauce that’s a real eye opener.
Grilled Tuna with Red Chile, Allspice, and Orange Glaze
Anchos are the dried chiles I use most for they have the best balance of fruity, spicy and earthy flavors. Ancho powder gives this glaze its appealing brick-red color and warm—not fiery—flavor. I definitely find that tuna needs intense flavors, like orange and allspice, to lighten it up and show off that meaty texture.
DIY Chorizo
This is Dave DeWitt’s recipe for a traditional Mexican sausage that’s often served with huevos rancheros for breakfast. Unlike other sausages, it is not usually stuffed into casings but served crumbled or formed into patties. (There are two varieties of chorizo: this Mexican version that is made with fresh pork, and Spanish chorizo, made with smoked pork.) This recipe requires advance preparation.
Recipe: Blackberry Barbecue Sauce
In my neverending quest for uses for fruit-based hot sauces that don’t involve mixing them up with cream cheese, barbecue sauce seems like a good choice. If you were at our show earlier this year, you probably saw all of the fruit-based fiery jams, jellies, and hot sauces that are gaining popularity right now. This blackberry barbecue sauce would be perfect for one of those things; just use a raspberry, blueberry or other berry-based concoction for the hot sauce element.
Video: See the Ad for the Show!
A big part of why our show performs so well and has been around for 27 years is because Dave DeWitt knows how to get the word out. This year, we’ve kicked up our video presence with our YouTube channel. You may have seen our recipe series on Spicy but there’s also the ad Dave’s buddy Wayne Scheiner created for the show too.
