Everything you need to know about meat together in one place

Ingredients:

• 2 Swift NY Strip Steaks
• 1 lb tiger shrimp (approx. 8-10 shrimp)
• 1 Tbsp kosher salt
• 1 Tbsp black pepper
• 1 Tbsp garlic powder
• 1 small lemon
• 1 Tbsp chopped parsley
• 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning

Directions:

1. Remove the steaks from the packaging and pat them dry. Let the steaks come up to room temperature by leaving on your countertop for 45-60 minutes.
2. Mix the salt, pepper, garlic powder and season the steaks on all sides, making sure to get the edges.
3. For the shrimp, make sure they are deveined and cleaned, and the shell is removed.
4. Toss the shrimp in the Cajun seasoning, making sure they are coated evenly.
5. Warm up your grill to 450°F and grill the steaks directly over the heat source. Flip every minute to ensure an even cook and pull when the internal temperature is 125°F for medium rare or 135°F for medium, approx. 6-8 minutes.
6. Remove the steaks, cover loosely with foil and let them rest at room temperature.
7. While the steaks are resting, place the shrimp on the grill and cook for 1 minute per side. Remove when the shrimp are opaque, and the tails have turned red.
8. Plate the shrimp on your cutting board, topping with the chopped parsley and giving them a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
9. Slice the steaks into even slices and plate alongside the shrimp.
10. Enjoy!

2. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat for 1 minute or until there is enough bacon fat released to coat the bottom of the pan, stirring occasionally. Push bacon to side of the skillet and add the chops. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper. Cook chops for 3 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned and internal temperature on a thermometer reads between 145°F (medium rare) and 160°F (medium), turning once halfway through.
3. Remove chops and bacon, draining bacon on paper towels and resting chops for a minimum of 3 minutes.
4. For cocktail buns, cut each chop in half so you have 8 pieces. Place chops in buns. Top chops with steak sauce and bacon strips. These bacon-infused sandwiches are ideal for tailgating and cocktail parties.

Ingredients:

• 1 Swift NY Strip Steak
• Jalapeños (to taste)
• Green onion (to taste)

For the Hollandaise:

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 package of English Muffins (Justin uses keto-friendly ones)

For the English Muffin:

• 1 egg
• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp coconut flour
• 2 Tbsp almond flour
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp Spiceology Purple Haze

Directions:

1. Reverse sear your NY Strip Steak, which means you first smoke your steak, usually around 180°F, and then sear it over high heat. Justin smoked his steak at 180°F to an internal temp of 115°F before removing it from the smoker and cranking up the heat. When the grill grates were nice and hot (550°F+), it is placed directly over high heat sear to give the strip steak a great crust.
2. With this approach, you can perfectly cook the internal temperature to your liking (for Justin that’s 132 degrees coming off the grill) while also getting a great sear.
3. While you’re cooking your NY strip, render down the fat by dicing all the trimmings as finely as possible and placing them in the smoker or oven at low heat to render.
4. When your steak is ready to sear, turn up the heat or transfer the fat to a pan to finish rendering. Combine rendered fat with butter for a total of 110g of total fat/melted butter.
5. For the Hollandaise, in a blender, blend 3 egg yolks for 30-45 seconds. Once egg yolks appear creamy, add 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.
6. Slowly drizzle the butter and fat mixture into the blender on a medium-low speed setting. Let blend until combined and everything looks creamy.
7. For the English Muffin, mix 1 egg, 1 Tbsp butter, melted, 1 Tbsp coconut flour, 2 Tbsp almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder and1/4 tsp Spiceology Purple Haze seasoning.
8. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl, then mix in the egg and melted butter. Pour into a 4-inch ramekin and microwave for 90 seconds.
9. Split open and toast as you would an English muffin with some butter on both sides.
10. Build by stacking the English muffin, sliced steak, jalapeño, poached egg, and Hollandaise.
11. Garnish with green onion. Serve!

3. Brush one side of the pork tenderloin with the Dijon mustard. Then place the sliced tenderloin on a slice of bacon and roll, making sure the bacon is on the outside of the roll. Secure with wooden or metal skewers.
4. Once all of the pinwheels are skewered, place them on the grill and close the lid.
5. Grill for approximately 15 minutes, then flip and brush your favorite BBQ sauce. Josh used Traeger’s Apricot BBQ sauce.
6. Close the lid and continue to cook until the pork is cooked thoroughly, the bacon is crispy and the sauce has caramelized, about 15-20 minutes.

4. At the 5-hour mark, Merrick’s baby backs were sitting around 200°F internal temperature. The meat around the bones was pulled back about 1/4 inch, another indicator that these ribs were done.
5. When you feel your ribs are getting close to being done, begin to prepare your Candy Apple Glaze. In a saucepan, mix 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, 1/4 C of apple preserves, 1/4 C of raspberry preserves, 1/4 C of brown sugar, 1 Tbsp of honey, and 1/4 C of grenadine.
6. Stir on low heat until all ingredients are blended together and you are left with your delicious candy apple red rib glaze!
7. Baste your ribs with the candy apple glaze and let the glaze set for approximately 20 minutes.
8. After 20 more minutes on the smoker at 225°F, the ribs were 203°F internal temperature and the sticky red glaze was perfectly set!
9. Remove your candy apple ribs from the smoker and enjoy!
