From This Year Onward I Will Always Carve The Ribs Off The Rib Roast and Toss Them In The Crock Pot.

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I know it may not sound sexy but I’ll tell you what, this was soooo easy and soooo delicious.

I woke up around 3:00AM to trim and season our holiday rib roast.

Normally I would carve the ribs off of the roast and then tie them back on with butchers twine. Many recipes call for the consumer to ask their butcher to perform this task which will aid in the carving once the roast is done.

I decided to remove the ribs cut them into individual beef ribs, season liberally with kosher salt, coarse pepper, onion powder garlic powder and paprika and toss them in the crock pot with a cup of beef stock.

On high for 2.5 hours then sauced and set to low for 4 hours they came out incredible.

 Decided to season and toss the beef ribs from the roast in the crock pot for a mid-day snack. Seasoned with salt pepper garlic paprika and onion powder. 2.5 hours at high. 4 hours on low and topped with @traderjoes organic sriracha and roasted garlic bbq sauce. Couldn’t have been easier, couldn’t have been tastier!

Cast Iron Sausage and Beef Stew Seasoned With Cape Ann Sea Salt Herb Blend

Made even sweeter knowing the cooker was rescued and restored after finding it on the side of the road.

Found covered in cat hair and rusted out.

After several hours of scrubbing with a Brillo pad and several more hours reseasoning it, she’s a fantastic cooker!

Shout out to Cape Ann Sea Salt for the excellent seasoning and Marshview Farm for the delicious fresh veggies that went into it!

Smoked BBQ Meatloaf adapted from one of my favorite BBQ Gurus- Malcolm Reed @HowToBBQRight

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Here’s an easy to prepare , hearty and delicious BBQ meatloaf that takes a couple hours on the smoker at 275 to complete.

I adapted this from one of my favorite BBQ gurus Malcolm Reed of “How to BBQ Right“

I changed up a couple of the ingredients mainly because I didn’t have the ones he listed but I don’t think I would change up the way I did it.

Changes to the ingredient list were: all 80/20 burger meat, no celery, instead of green onions I used yellow onions and I used a tablespoon of soy and a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce instead of the Moore’s original marinade.

Here’s Malcom’s recipe which is the one I pretty much followed:

Formed
BBQ Rub Applied
On The Weber Kettle @ 275F
Internal temp 140F
Glazed With Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce
Pulled Off At 145F
Delicious

I know it’s a Northeast thing. I also know it’s tough to find. But not any longer. we ordered a bundle of six bottles which probably won’t last long.

Currently I’m smoking a roast beef to make sandwiches for lunch.

I’m a three way kinda guy (sauce-cheese-mayo)

People outside of New England have no idea what the term Steak Tips refer to but it is a staple in restaurants all over the region.

Here is a great article from Serious Eats explaining just what part of the cow a steak tip comes from.   It’s also referred to as Flap meat.  It’s inexpensive, super flavorful and with just a little preparation they are crowd favorites for short money.  Think Superbowl Party.

Brisket On The @WeberGrills Kettle Using The Snake Method

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

What I learned in this cook was that no matter what, you have to be patient and wait for the brisket to be probe tender.

This Brisket reached 204 degrees internal but wasn’t probe tender, enetered a stall, temps retreated even with steady 250 degree pit temps all the way from 204 back down to 189.  It wasn’t probe tender until it came back up to 195F.

Patience and understanding the stall paid off.  DSC07510DSC07512DSC07513
