Great Meals To Gather Around

Ingredients:

• 1 Swift Flank Steak
• 1 Package of Swift Thick Cut Bacon
• 3 Tbsp Minced Garlic

Ingredients:

• 2 Swift Pork Loins
• Meat Church Baptism Brine
• Meat Church Garlic & Herb Seasoning (to taste)
• Olive Oil
• 1 stick of butter
• 1 Tbsp of minced garlic
• 2 Tbsp of chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano)

Directions:

1. Cut your pork loin in half. This allows it to cook much more evenly on the smoker.
2. Then brine the pork loin in your favorite brine mix, the Meat Church Baptism Brine is Josh’s favorite. Brining imparts additional moisture into the meat, which allows it to stay moist throughout the cooking process.
3. In a food-safe container, add the correct brine mix to water ratio and let the pork loin soak for 12 hours or so. Once done, make sure to thoroughly wash off the brine from the meat.
4. Place your smoker or oven to 300°F. Josh used pecan pellets on my smoker so it wouldn’t overpower the pork loin with a heavy smoke flavor.
5. Then using olive oil as a binder, rub a thin layer all over the loin pieces and coat the pork loin pieces in Meat Church’s Garlic & Herb Seasoning on all sides.
6. Put the pork loin on the smoker at 300°F until it hits an internal temperature of 145°F. Using a leave-in style meat thermometer will ensure the best results.
7. As the pork loin smokes, melt 1 stick of salted butter in a pan and add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of chopped herbs, such as rosemary, thyme or oregano.
8. Baste the loin with the melted butter every 30 minutes, until it’s finished. This butter baste will add an amazing depth of flavor and color to the dish.
9. Once the pork loin reaches 145°F, remove it from the heat and allow it to rest for 15-20 minutes under a vented foil dome.
10. After the rest, slice the pork loin and serve with your favorite sides. We ate ours with mashed potatoes and mac & cheese.

• 6 Tbsp nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 1/2 C low fat buttermilk

Directions:

1. Preheat the smoker to 225°F.
2. Add your rubbed Swift Pork Shoulder to the smoker and smoke for approximately 6.5-8 hours until the internal temperature of the meat gets to 165°F.
3. At 165°F, double wrap the shoulder in tin foil tightly and smoke for approximately 2 more hours until the internal temperature of the meat is 195°F.
4. Take the shoulder off the smoker at 195°F and let it rest wrapped (preferably in a cooler to keep the heat in and keep the meat moist) for approximately 1.5-2 more hours.
5. In a large bowl or pan, unwrap the shoulder and start pulling the meat apart with meat claws (ideally) or use your hands (but wear protective gloves so you don’t burn your hands). You want to be somewhat gentle with the meat so it doesn’t become too mushy. The desired end result is chunky shreds of pulled pork!
6. Combine all ingredients needed for the rub and mix well. Rub the pork shoulder generously with the mix. You can refrigerate overnight or start cooking right away.
7. For the bourbon peach sauce, grab a sauce pot on and place on medium heat, add the oil and jalapeno peppers and cook them till soft for about 3-5 mins.
8. Add in the bourbon and let it cook for another 5 minutes to evaporate down a bit.
9. Add the peaches and stir them in.
10. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir until fully combined on medium heat, once it starts to boil reduce the heat to simmer.
11. Simmer the sauce for another 5-10 mins so it thickens.
12. Remove from heat and let sit until ready to serve.
13. You can refrigerate until ready to use and warm up slightly before assembling the pulled pork.
14. For the biscuits, preheat the oven to 450°F.
15. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat.
16. In a large bowl, whisk all the dry ingredients together.
17. Cut the butter into small pieces and incorporate it into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse pebbles.
18. Whisk together the buttermilk and Greek yogurt and pour slowly into the flour mixture.
19. Fold together until the dough comes together.
20. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a couple of times until it comes together. Don’t over knead it.
21. Pat the dough out into a 1-inch-thick circle and use a 3-inch round cookie cutter to cut out the biscuits.
22. Brush the tops of the biscuits with a little milk, then place in the oven on the middle rack.
23. Bake for 8-9 minutes until the biscuits are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Ingredients:

• 2 packages of Swift Ribeye Steaks
• 5 Tbsp unsalted butter
• Bundle of fresh scallions
• 1 lime for juice
• Kosher or sea salt to taste
• Coarse ground pepper to taste

Directions

Compound Butter:

1. Prepare your charred scallion citrus compound butter.
2. Place approximately 8 scallion stalks in a piping hot pan, char without oil or butter for approximately thirty seconds. Remove from heat, dice and allow to cool.
3. Soften 5 Tbsp of unsalted butter and place in a bowl. Add charred scallions to butter. Add in the juice of ½ lime and a tsp of coarse ground pepper, mix evenly.
4. Optional: At this point, your compound butter is complete. You can either place the compound butter into the fridge in the bowl or remove the butter from the bowl and place into a piece of plastic wrap, form a log shape, and refrigerate or freeze.
5. With the latter method, you can slice the compound butter into even medallions for the top of your steaks.

Swift Ribeye Steaks:

1. The thickness of your steaks will determine which grilling method is most appropriate for the steaks. Merrick’s ribeyes were each approximately ½ inch thick, so he decided to grill them hot and fast over direct heat. Merrick’s family prefers steaks to be cooked to medium rare, which yields a final internal temperature of approximately 130-135°F.
2. For this cook, Merrick achieved 125°F internal after about 3.5 minutes on each side of the steaks.
3. Remove the steaks at your desired internal temperature. Merrick removed his at 125°F and topped each steak with compound butter.
4. Allow the steaks to rest for 10 minutes prior to serving. Tent loosely with foil. Remember, the steaks will continue to cook after removed from the grill!
5. After a 10-minute rest, the steaks were 130°F internal, and the compound butter melted perfectly over the top of the perfect medium.

Ingredients:

• 1 Swift Pork Loin
• 1 Package Swift Double Smoked Thick Cut Bacon
• 1 Onion
• 2 Tbsp Chili Powder
• 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
• Diced Tomatoes
• 1 ½ C Water
• Cannellini Beans
• ½ C Sour Cream
• 2 Scallions
• Salt to taste

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan or small stockpot over medium heat, cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.
2. Add the onion to the bacon fat and cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the pork and cook, stirring occasionally until the onions are crisp-tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
3. Stir in the chili powder and paprika. Stir in the tomatoes (with their juices) and water.
4. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender. 35 to 45 minutes.
5. Stir in the beans and about 2/3 of the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 3 Swift Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin Filets
• BBQ Rub of choice
• Olive Oil

Crispy Smashed Potatoes:

• 1 lb Petite Gold potatoes
• Olive Oil
• Salt & Pepper, to taste

Garlic Green Beans:

• 1 lb Fresh Green Beans
• 3 Tbsp Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced

Directions:

1. Season your Bacon Wrapped Pork Filets liberally with your BBQ rub of choice. Josh’s favorite is Pulled Hog by White Bulls BBQ.
2. Set your smoker to 225°F, and smoke the Filets until they reach an internal temperature of 135°F.
3. While your Filets are smoking, prepare your sides. First bring two large pots of water to a boil.
4. Boil your potatoes for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork tender, then drain.
5. While they boil, set your oven to broil and allow it to come to temp.
6. When the potatoes are drained, place them onto a lightly oiled sheet pan, and gently smash them until they are approx. ¼ inch thick. The bottom of a mason jar is what we used for the perfect smash.
7. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then place in the oven for approx. 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy along the edges.
8. While those finish, drain your green beans and add them back to the pot, along with your butter and minced garlic. Sauté them for 5-7 minutes and set aside.
9. At this point, your Filets should almost be up to temp, so add a tbsp. of oil to a pan on the stove over medium-high heat.
10. When your Filets are at 135°F internal, take them off the smoker and sear them on all sides in your hot pan. This will not only give you a great outer crust on the Filets, but also help crisp up the bacon wrap on the outside.
11. Remove the Filets from the pan when they reach and internal temperate of 140°F and let them rest for approx. 5 minutes. This will not only allow the redistribution of juices, but the carryover cooking will bring the internal temperate to 145°F for the perfectly juicy Filet!

Directions:

1. In a bowl, combine 1 Tbsp (15 mL) brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, mustard and salt. Rub over all sides of pork. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Place pork in slow cooker. Whisk together soup mix and broth; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until pork shreds easily with a fork.
3. Transfer pork to a plate and let cool slightly.
4. Using a spoon, remove excess fat from surface of sauce. Pour sauce into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, until syrupy. Stir in remaining brown sugar, cayenne, chili sauce, vinegar and soy sauce; simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors. Adjust seasoning with salt and cayenne, if desired.
5. Meanwhile, transfer pork to a cutting board and add accumulated juices to sauce. Using two forks, shred pork, placing it in a serving bowl. (This is a super-messy job but worth the effort!) Pour 1 C (250 mL) sauce over shredded meat, turning pork to absorb sauce.
6. Serve pork on warmed buns, topped with coleslaw, with extra sauce for dipping.

Ingredients:

• 2 lb Swift Pork Loin Roast
• 2 oz bourbon
• ¼ C brown sugar

1. Heat your smoker to 275° F. While the smoker is coming up to temp, butterfly your pork loin roast down the middle.
2. Coat with Dijon mustard and brown sugar, then drizzle a little bourbon to wet the brown sugar, and add about 1 Tbsp of maple syrup. Use twine to tie your pork loin roast back together. Coat liberally with your BBQ rub on the outside.
3. For the bourbon maple glaze, add butter, bourbon, and remaining maple syrup into a skillet and reduce on low for about 10-15 minutes until it reaches the consistency of a glaze.
4. Smoke using hickory, applewood, or your favorite wood blend until the internal temperature is about 145° F. Turn the temperature up (or grill) while basting with your bourbon maple glaze until internal temperature reaches 155-160°F.
5. Slice and serve!

• 2 C milk
• 2 C shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 Tbsp pumpkin puree (either make your own or buy it canned)
• 3/4 C water or broth (only if needed)
• Aged gouda cheese for grating as garnish

Directions

Brisket:

1. Combine all dry rub ingredients in a mixing bowl and set aside.
2. Prepare the brisket by removing excess fat from the flat side and also remove fat to expose the point side. Put the brisket in a large baking dish.
3. Combine the injection ingredients in a large measuring cup.
4. Inject the brisket with the prepared liquid mixture, reserving about 1 cup for later. Generously sprinkle the rub on both sides of the meat. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Smoke the Brisket:

1. Preheat the smoker (or oven) at 230º F. Remove the brisket from the baking dish and place it directly – fat side up – on the grates of the smoker.
2. Smoke at 230°F until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached (approximately 8-10 hours).
3. Remove the brisket, double wrap with foil, and pour the reserved liquid in the bottom of the foil before closing up. Put the brisket back on to the smoker at the same temperature.
4. When the brisket reaches 203°F (approximately 2-4 more hours), remove from the smoker, leaving it wrapped in the foil. Place the brisket into a small cooler and allow it to rest for at least 1-2 hours.
5. Cut the flat end point and remove to allow for easy slicing. Slice against the grain and serve with the Mac & Cheese in Mini Pumpkins!

Make the pumpkin bowls:

1. While cooking the brisket, make your Mini Pumpkin Serving Bowls. Preheat the oven (or if you have another smoker) to 400°F.
2. If needed, cut a very thin slice from the bases of the pumpkins so they sit flat. Set on a rimmed baking sheet, rub with a little oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Bake until tender when pierced, about 40 minutes.
4. Let the pumpkins cool. Cut off lids, about 2 in. wide. Carefully scrape out seeds with a small spoon, keeping walls and bases intact. If you accidentally get a hole in the pumpkin, just line it with a piece of foil.

Creamy Smoked Mac & Cheese (with a little pumpkin twist):

1. Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside (toss with oil to prevent sticking).
2. Sauce: Melt butter over low medium heat. Add the garlic and onion – sauté for a couple of minutes, being careful not to burn or brown the butter, garlic or onion.
3. Add the flour and salt – sauté while whisking for another minute or two. Then, add the milk very slowly, whisking continuously to incorporate with the flour/butter mixture.
4. Don’t stop whisking or it will clump. Simmer for approximately 5 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and has thickened just slightly.
5. Add the cheese and stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until melted. Once melted and creamy, remove from heat.
6. Add the pasta to the cheese sauce. Stir in extra water or broth if the sauce is a bit too thick.
7. To obtain a smoky flavor, pour the mac & cheese in a baking dish and place it in the smoker at 325º F for about 20 minutes.
8. Remove mac & cheese from the smoker. Add your brisket. Mix together by hand. Reserve some brisket for the top of the dish. Spoon into Mini Pumpkin Bowls for serving and top with the reserved brisket pieces.

Ingredients:

Rib Ingredients:

• 2 Swift St. Louis Style Pork Spare Ribs
• BBQ rub of choice
• 2 Tbsp yellow mustard (or binder of choice)
• ¼ C light brown sugar
• 8 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp honey
• ¼ C apple juice
• Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
• Scallions, sliced (for garnish)

Glaze Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp sambal oelek
• 3 Tbsp Bachan’s Japanese BBQ Sauce
• 1 Tbsp honey

Directions:

1. Remove the membrane from the back side of your ribs. Use a butter knife if needed to get between a bone and the membrane to pull it off.

*Pro Tip!* – Use a paper towel for the ultimate grip!

2. Rub 1 tbsp. of yellow mustard (or binder of choice) all over both sides of your ribs.
3. Season your ribs liberally on both sides with your BBQ rub of choice. Our favorite is “Rack City” by White Bulls BBQ.
4. Set your smoker to 225°F, and smoke your ribs uncovered for 3 hours.
5. When you’ve got about 15 minutes left, prepare two piles of double layered aluminum foil needed for the next step, and spread out your brown sugar, butter, and honey. Since we are smoking 2 racks of ribs in this recipe, you will divide the ingredients equally to place on two separate piles of the foil.
6. At the 3-hour mark, remove your ribs from the smoker and place them meat side down onto the bed of brown sugar, butter, and honey on your foil piles. Fold both sides of your foil over the ribs tightly, and also close up one end of the wrap.  Carefully pour your apple juice into the foil wrap through the remaining open end, then seal the wrap up tight.  Remember, since we are smoking 2 racks in this recipe, you will divide the apple juice equally as well.
7. Place your now wrapped ribs back on the smoker for 2 additional hours, continuing at 225°F.
8. When you’ve got about 10 minutes left, go ahead and make your glaze by whisking your sambal oelek, Bachan’s bbq sauce, and honey together in a small bowl.
9. Once the 2 hours are up, remove your ribs from the foil wraps, and place them back on your smoker uncovered. Using a silicone brush, spread your glaze over each rack of ribs, and let them continue to cook for 45-60 minutes. You want to make sure that the glaze is fully set, while also making sure it doesn’t scorch. (shoot for 200°F internal temp).
10. Remove your ribs from the smoker, and garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.

Ingredients

For the Roast:

• 1 Swift Beef Ribeye Roast
• 1 bottle red wine
• 2 onions
• 3 carrots
• 1 garlic clove
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil
• Cloves
• A pinch of flour/corn starch
• 100g salted butter

Sides:

• 200g Brussels sprouts
• 100g smoked pancetta
• Salt, pepper, olive oil
• 1 medium pumpkin
• 100g coppa ham
• Salt, pepper, olive oil
• Paprika

Directions:

1. Take the beef out of the tray and pour the wine into a sauce pan, then leave on the side.
2. Place beef in baking tray with some cut onions, celery and garlic on the bottom. Place in oven at 400ºF and cook at high heat for 1.45 to 2 hrs depending on the size of the roast. Make sure to turn it every 30 minutes, to make sure the fat renders evenly on each side. It is key, once the beef is cooked, to check its internal temperature, which should be 135ºF for a medium rare – and  then let it rest for about 30 minutes.
3. While the beef is cooking, you can start prepping the sides and the sauce.
4. For the wine sauce, pour directly in the pan, add some cloves, one grab of flour or corn starch and cook in at high heat, whisking often to make sure the alcohol evaporates but the sauce doesn’t burn. When the sauce has reached a creamy consistency, take I off the heat and add 100g of salted butter and mix well.
5. For the Brussels Sprouts- cut the brussels in half and place in baking tray. Add smoked pancetta cubes and some garlic, season well with olive oil, salt and pepper and pour in glass of water. Cook at 350ºF for 30 mins or approximately until golden brown and crispy.
6. For the pumpkin – cut the pumpkin wedges (Alice loves to eat the crispy skin too but you can also remove it) and season with olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika. Then decide to cook it in the oven for 30 minutes, or in the air fryer for 10 minutes.
7. Once the pumpkin has been cooking and is soft and golden brown on the edges, place the coppa ham pieces all over it and cook it at Broil in the oven for about 10 more minutes (or in the air fryer for 5 minutes) to crispy up the juicy fat.

Ingredients

Roasted lime garlic crown of pork:

• 1 Swift Crown of pork
• 5 cloves of garlic, smashed
• Juice of 2 limes
• Coarse sea salt (seasoned Brazilian salt)
• Rainbow (black) pepper
• 1.5 C of cachaça (Brazilian rum)

Creamy brown butter sage whipped sweet potato:

• 3-4 sweet potatoes
• 1-2 Tbsp butter
• 1-2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1-2 Tbsp creme fraiche
• 1/4 C heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 C milk
• Sprinkle of salt and pepper
• 5-6 sage leaves

Almond pancetta green beans:

• 1 lb green beans
• 1 oz pancetta
• 1/2 C shaved almonds

Directions

For the port crown: 

1. Dry pork rack with paper towels. Apply rainbow pepper over pork. Rub smashed garlic all over the pork. Squeeze two limes and massage the juice over the pork, ensuring the garlic is still well divided over pork. Marinate for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator – overnight is best.
2. Preheat oven to 325°F. Drizzle olive oil over pork and add salt all over rack. Place rack of pork in oven, leaving meat thermometer in it (if you have one). Internal temperature will need to reach 145°F which, depending on the size, may take from 90 minutes to 3 hours. Every 30 minutes, baste cachaça over the rack, turning the rack each time (not flipping, simply shifting positions in the oven). Increase temperature to 375°F for the last 15-20 minutes to achieve caramelization. Doing this at the end will prevent the meat from drying out.
3. Once internal temperature reaches 145°F, remove from oven and let rest for at least 20 minutes.

For the creamy brown butter sage whipped sweet potato:

1. Boil sweet potatoes until tender and mash them until smooth. Mix in milk, heavy whipping cream and butter, and vigorously whip with potato masher. Seasons with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and blend in creme fraiche. Top it with another tbsp of butter, and sprinkle brown sugar and fried sage leaves over the top. Sage leaves were fried in pancetta fat when making green beans.

For the almond pancetta green beans:

1. Boil green beans until tender and drain. Fry up pancetta until crispy. Fry up sage (to top whipped sweet potato dish) in the pancetta fat and then remove; set aside on a paper towel. Add beans to pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss with pancetta and almonds – that is it! Enjoy!

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!

Ingredients:

• 1 Swift Pork Tenderloin
• 1 Pound of Swift Double Smoked Applewood Thick Cut Bacon
• Honey Dijon Mustard (to taste)
• Your favorite BBQ Sauce (to taste)

Directions:

1. Start by bringing your grill/smoker to 450°F.
2. Cut the Swift Pork Tenderloin into thin strips, lengthwise.
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.
7. Make sure to check out the center of the pinwheels is hitting 145°F internally.
8. Once done, remove from the grill, allow to rest for 5-minutes and enjoy.

Ingredients:

• 1 Swift Pork Tenderloin
• Your favorite salt, pepper and garlic blend (Justin used Kosmo’s Q)
• 1 can of chiles in adobo sauce

For the Spicy Pico de Gallo:

• 1 jalapeno
• 1/2 tomato
• 1/4 onion
• 1 Tbsp of lime
• Salt to taste

For the Dough:

• Mozzarella
• Cream Cheese
• Almond flour
• Egg
• Baking powder

For the Cheese Sauce:

• 1 Tbsp of butter
• 1.5 oz heavy cream
• 1 C mozzarella

Directions:

1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F and use hickory for a nice, bold smokey flavor. If you have a probe thermometer, this is a great time to insert the probe and set an alarm for 135°F.
2. At 135°F, baste the pork tenderloin with a chipotle puree. Blend one can of chiles in adobo sauce instead and use that as the baste.
3. Cook until the internal temp reaches 145°F and remove from the smoker. Let rest ~ 10 minutes to keep all those juices in the meat.
4. While the tenderloin is smoking, make a spicy play on a classic pico de gallo.
5. Dice one jalapeño, ½ a tomato, and ¼ onion. The goal is roughly equal parts of each. In a bowl, toss with a tablespoon of lime juice and just a light sprinkle of salt. Set in the refrigerator, covered, until ready to serve.
6. For the bun, this is a keto dough made from mozzarella, cream cheese, almond flour, egg, and baking powder. I baked these inside while the tenderloins finished their last 10°F, as these cook quickly.
7. Finally, the cheese sauce. Combine 1 Tablespoon of butter, 1.5 oz heavy cream, and about a cup of mozzarella.
8. Over medium-low heat, warm the butter and add the cream, stirring constantly. Add the cheese slowly to the pan until it reaches the desired thickness.

2. The next day, prepare grill. Bruce and Dina used a ceramic grill with hardwood charcoal and hickory wood that was soaked in water overnight.
3. Pull pork loin out of brine, and rinse with cold water then mix the BBQ spice rub. Rub all sides of the pork loin with the spice rub and sear the pork loin for 2 minutes per side, then pull the pork loin off the grill, and set it for indirect heat.
4. Place a disposable pan over indirect heat and add your favorite beer and 2 C apple juice. Place pork loin back on the grill, over indirect heat,
5. Reduce heat to 225°F. Cook until internal temperature is 138°F. Let rest until the pork loin’s internal reaches 145°F.
6. While pork is cooking, combine ingredients for honey BBQ sauce in pan and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes. Pour sauce into a small pitcher to serve with pork.
7. Finely slice cabbage, peppers and radishes. Using a box grater, shred the carrots. Add all the veggies to a large bowl and put into fridge until ready to serve.
8. Mix the dressing ingredients together, taste, and adjust seasoning. If you like it spicy, add a pinch of cayenne.
9. When ready to serve, drizzle the dressing over the top of the slaw, and mix in till coated. If planning on saving some slaw for later, do not dress it until ready to eat.
10. When pork comes to temperature, slice and serve with sauce.

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly spray a 6-cup large muffin tin with cooking spray or wipe with oil.
2. Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped bacon, and diced red bell pepper, then cook until bacon is crispy and cooked through. Stirring occasionally.
3. Drain off the excess bacon grease and set aside.

Directions:

1. Start off with NY Strip Steaks from Swift Meats. Josh likes to allow his steaks to come up to room temperature.
2. While they are coming up to temp, start the smoker and set it to 225°F, burning hickory pellets.
3. Once they have come up to room temperature, season these with Coarse Ground Black Pepper, Sea Salt and Garlic Powder on all sides. Once seasoned, place the steaks on the smoker with a temperature probe inserted.
4. We are going to smoke the steaks until they reach an internal temperature of 125.
5. As the steaks smoke, melt one Stick of Butter, 2 Cloves of Minced Garlic and a Sprig of Rosemary in a pan on the smoker / grill.
6. Once the steaks reach 125°F internal, remove them from the smoker / grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes.
7. During this time, bring your Blackstone Griddle up to 500°F and sear each side of the steaks for approximately 90 seconds, or until the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F.
8. While the steaks sear, continuously baste with the melted garlic herb butter.  Remove and allow to rest for approximately 5 minutes.
9. Be sure to cut the steaks against the grain and enjoy. Josh serves his steaks up with a loaded baked potato.

Ingredients:

• Swift Pork Tenderloin
• Swift Double Smoked Thick Cut Bacon
• Asparagus spears, fresh
• Your favorite pork seasoning
• Your favorite veggie seasoning
• Your favorite BBQ sauce

Directions:

1. Fire up your smoker at 225ºF
2. Get your pork tenderloin out of the package. Trim off excess fat if needed.
3. Season all sides of the tenderloin with your favorite pork seasoning. Then toss on the smoker!
4. As the pork cooks, prepare the bacon-wrapped asparagus.
5. Cut off about one inch of the blunt side of the asparagus spears. Trash those ends.
6. Next we’ll grab one slice of thick cut bacon and tightly wrap it around 5-6 asparagus spears. The slice of bacon should wrap 3-4 times around the bundle of asparagus.
7. Once all asparagus is wrapped, drizzle the asparagus, not the bacon, with olive oil.
8. Season the asparagus with your favorite veggie rub and season the bacon with your favorite pork rub. (Optional)
9. Place these in the fridge until you’re ready to use them.
10. When your pork tenderloin reaches 130°F internal temperature, get your smoker temp up to 350°F.
11. Toss those bundles of bacon wrapped asparagus on the smoker. Let them cook alongside the pork tenderloin.
12. When the pork tenderloin reaches 145°F internal temp, baste the outside of the meat with your favorite BBQ sauce.
13. Pork tenderloin will be done at 155°F internal temp. Remove from the grill, plate it, and lightly tent with foil so it can rest while the asparagus finishes.
14. You can either cook the bacon wrapped asparagus to your desired readiness, or probe the bacon to 160°F just to make sure it’s done. Or cook to a higher temp for more crispy bacon.
15. Now that both meats are ready, so are you. Enjoy!
