Oven Baked Ribs | Fall off the Bone Ribs

Hey all!

     Do we have a post for you!  With it being cold outside still why not heat that oven up and make some of the best fall off the bone ribs your family and friends will try!  This might be one of the simplest larger dishes we have made.  With only a few key ingredients too!  We think you really will enjoy this dish.  Ribs are one of Chef's favorite dishes and this fall off the bone recipe he has been making for years now.  The team absolutely loves them and usually the table is full when Chef announces he is making them.  Fall off the bone ribs are usually a hit because of how tender they are.  Smoked or grilled ribs are always a summer classic.  However some people don't like the struggle of the toughness.

     Fall off the bone ribs usually gain popularity with the crowd that doesn't want to fight for the meat to come off.  However Chef loves how simple this dish is to make and how beautiful it comes out.  Please check out all the information below and give them a try!

Prep Time:  30 Minutes
Cook Time: 2 Hours 40 Minutes
Total Time: 3 Hours 10 Minutes

Serves about 6

Ingredients: 1 Rack Center Cut Ribs
AP Rub-Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder Rib Rub- You can make or buy. (Chef Buys, its easier) 1 Lemon BBQ Sauce-You can make our buy. (Again Chef Buys)

Directions:
Heat Oven to 300 Degrees
Make sure you purchase fresh Pork Center Cut ribs. (However other cuts or even beef will work)
Take off the membrane on the back of the ribs. (This will make them even more tender)
Sprinkle some AP rub on each side of the rack and let sit for about 30 minutes.
Cut the ribs up individually.
Cut a lemon and squeeze the juice over the ribs then rub the juice around. (This tenderizes them)
Coat each rib fully in your choice of Rib Rub. Get all the sides.
Place the ribs individuality meat side down in a tinfoil oven save pan.
Continue till done.
Place tinfoil over the top. (Shiny side up)
Place the pan in the oven and let cook for 2 1/2 hours.
Take them out and remove the tinfoil.
Drain any of the fat that is now pooled in the pan.
Turn your oven to Broil.
Brush your favorite BBQ sauce on the ribs.
Place in your oven for about 5 minutes.
Rove and flip over, then brush with BBQ sauce again.
Place back in for 5 more minutes.

Remove and plate!


     This dish really is so simple and your guest will wonder how you pulled it off!  One of Chef's favorite things about it is the fact that it looks difficult but is so simple!  We know there are so many oven backed rib recipes out there but we do hope you try outs.  Please also see the video below to fully understand how we made this and to possible answer any questions you may have!

Flip the hot dogs when needed.
Place the hot dogs on the bottoms of the brad when all are cooked.

Bison Burgers

Hello All!
     We have a special treat for you.  A Bison Burger, we wanted to try something new and share a different approach to a regular burger.  Bison is typically grass fed and has a lot fat count.  The meat is very red which is good.  With a smaller fat count however you do need to watch the burger more closely as it can dry out or burn easier.  It is a bit more expensive however depending on where you live but try something new chef says.

Serves: 4
Prep Time: 20 Minutes  *(Burgers can sit up to overnight in the fridge)
Cook Time: 5 Minutes
Total Time: 25 Minutes


Ingredients: 1 Lb Bison Ground Meat. (1/4 Lb per person) 1 Tomato 1 Onion 1 Package of Soft Rolls 1 Egg (to mix with meat before patties are formed) Salt Pepper Any other toppings. Ketchup Mustard Mayo Fires make the best side!

Directions:
Take out the bison meat and place it in a bowl.
Add one egg and mix well.
Form up 4 patties or use a patty maker.
Place back in the fridge for 10 Minutes, up to over night.
Always remove your burgers about 10 minutes before your grill them, let them warm up a bit.
Before you grill, cut up all your toppings and get everything ready, once the burgers are cooked you don't want to waste time.
Lightly Salt, Pepper and olive oil each side of the burgers and edges.
With your grill hot place the burgers on it.
*Note place burgers that are meant to be cooked more on your grill sooner.
Salt, Pepper and lightly oil your onion slices.
Place them on the grill as well.
Lightly oil the bottoms of the buns.
Place them on the grill.  (Sooner you do, more crispy the buns will be)
Flip your burgers after the 2 1/2-3 minute mark.
After about 3 minutes on each side brush some butter on the tops, let cook for 2 more minutes.
Flip, butter again and let cook longer for about 2 minutes.
Take off the buns and onions from the grill.
Place cheese on the burgers. (If you want it)
Place a bit of mayo on the bottom of the buns.
Add Lettuce, Tomato.
Place now the burger on the buns.
Now place the onion on the burger.
Serve up and let your friends and family add whatever else they want.

As you can see, this burger will go fast!

     We think you really will enjoy this meal and if you cook Bison or regular Beef feel free to use this style of how to grill it.  We think we will do a Beef Burger video still.  The burger had a great taste to it and the way Chef cooked and put it all together was amazing.  Pair this with some homemade french fries and you have a dish!  Check out the video below to see how Chef puts this all together!


     Thank you so much for checking our site out and we do hope you watched our video.  There are some great tips in the video as well as you get to see first hand how Chef makes it.  So try something new, try a Bison Burger!

Remember,
Cooking should be FUN, have FUN doing it!

You can add a water pan if you like to
Make sure the temp is around 250 Degrees
Place both of the chucks on the indirect side, opposite the coals.
Cover and monitor for an hour and a half.
After flip them and rotate if needed for another 1 1/2 hour.
After you will be at the 3 hr mark.
Take them off and place them in a tin foil pan. Side by side.
Fill the pan with warm beef broth. Till they are almost submerged.
Cover the top with tin foil and back on the gill they go.
Let cook for 2 hours at around 200-230 degrees.

While resting cook onions.
In a cast iron pan heat up butter.
Once the butter is hot add onions. Cut them to ring form.

Honey BBQ Chicken Tenderloins


Hey everyone!

     Grilling season is still underway and we wanted to show you a great healthy chicken dish!  Chicken Tenderloins are very delicious and healthy for you!  High in protein and low in fat these strips make a great meal in a matter of no time!  Most people won't think to grill the Tenderloin but try something new!  These are chicken finger size and shape so they are very easy to eat and will they ever be eaten!  We really think your family will enjoy this and it different from just your average chicken breast on the grill.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 30 Minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:
1 Package of Trimmed Fresh Chicken Tenderloins
Pinch of AP Rub
1/4 Cup Olive Oil mixed with Seasonings (Store usually sells)
1 Cup BBQ Sauce
1/2 Cup Honey

Directions:
Take your chicken tenderloins out of the fridge and place on a plate, make sure they are thawed.
Season both sides with AP rub.  Salt, pepper, garlic powder.
Rub a little seasoned olive oil on both sides then let sit for about 10 Minutes.
Mix your BBQ sauce and honey together and place aside.
Get your gill nice and hot and use grill covers if you have them, they will protect your grill and chicken.
Heat only one side of the burners, leave one side off.
Place the strips down and shut the lid, let cook for about 5 minutes then flip.
After about 10 minutes total move them to the other side of the grill where the burners are off.
Coat each side with the BBQ and Honey mixture then place back down on the side of the burners not on.  Let sit another 5 minutes.
Take off ans serve up with any two sides you enjoy!

Looks great!


  As you can see they look amazing! A nice coat of BBQ and grill marks. The reason we cook our chicken then move them over to glaze in the BBQ Sauce is actually because the sauce will not crisp up like a shell and side off. If you glaze while cooking this will happen. Putting BBQ on cooked chicken will just add that flavor as it rest a bit on the not as hot side of the grill. Check out our video to see!


We do hope everyone enjoyed this post and that you really do try this meal out!  Thanks again for joining us and be sure to check out other meals we do!

Slow Cooked Ribs

Hello all!
   Looking for some Ribs but don't want to be outside all day in the cold?  This low and slow meal will make you coming back for more.  Maybe even cooking them in the summer!  Your friends and family will think you slaved all day for this dish but with steps you can look like  real pit master!

     These fall of the bone ribs were done with two different sauces after they slow cooked for about 6 hours on low!  Many people think ribs can be very difficult to make or that you need the oven however slow cookers can really cook almost anything!  You can also set this up and then get some things done in the house or if you have to leave for a few hours!  With the winter months still in full swing this is a great idea for a nice weekend meal where you can enjoy with family and friends!

So you know we made 2 sets of ribs, one rub with with the one below, the other rack we used store bough rib rub to try.

Serves: 4 people per rack

Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 6 Hours
Total Time: 6 hours 10 Minutes

The ingredients are for 1 Rack of Ribs.  Double if you want 2 or do two different kinds of rubs!

Ingredients:
1 Pack of  Pork Ribs (1 rack per 4 people)
AP Rub- 4-5 Table Spoons per side

Rib Rub: Feel free to use this or your own!
3 Tablespoons of Paprika
1 Tablespoon Smoked Paprika
1 Tablespoon Garlic Powder
1 Tablespoon Ground Mustard
1 Pinch Salt
1 Pinch Allspice
1 Pinch Cayenne Pepper

Honey Garlic Sauce:
1 1/2 cups Honey
3/4 Cups Reduced-Sodium Soy Sauce
3/4 Cup Ketchup
3-4 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
1 Pinch of Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Sesame Seeds for garnish

Honey BBQ Sauce:
1/2 Cup Honey
1 Cups BBQ Sauce

Instructions:
*I didn't trim the ribs or take the membrane off.  This is up to you.
Take your AP Rub (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder) Sprinkle each side of your ribs.
Let sit as you make your rub now.
For the rub:
Mix all the rub ingredients together. See above.
Sprinkle on each side of your ribs as well as the ends and sides.
Cut the ribs in half.
Place them in the slow cooker, meat side facing the walls and the rib bones down.  (The bone side you can feel)
Turn to Low and let cook for about 6 hours.
*Every Slow cooker is different!  If yours runs hot, check it sooner.  Ours does.

20 Minutes before you pull the Ribs make your glaze mix!

Honey Garlic Glaze:
In a pan mix all the ingredients together see above.
Bring this to a boil for a few minutes.
Reduce to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
Let sit for about 3 minutes so it can thicken.

Honey BBQ Glaze:
In a bowl mix 1/2 cup honey with 1 cup BBQ Sauce.
Do NOT heat this up.

Turn your oven to Broil.
Take your ribs out and place them on a tin foiled cooking sheet meat side down.
Glace your ribs with either sauce you use!  Or if your doing 2 racks, you can do one set of each.
Place in the oven for 4 minutes.  If you have 2 sets of ribs, rotate them after 2 minutes so they each get time under the heat!
Take them out and flip them over, so the meat side is up.
Glaze again, and place in the over for 4 minutes.
Again if you are doing 2 racks make sure you rotate so they each get time.

*If you are doing one rack of ribs only, monitor them close per every oven is different and the broil setting can burn your ribs!

This is not a hard dish but if you have any questions leave us a comment or reach out to us!


Here is what both looked like, they really came out amazing, each had a different but great flavor!


     We do hope everyone does try this if they like Ribs.  It is easy and they really had a wonderful taste!  We do hope you watch the video per sometime the instructions can look difficult this meal is not.  Below is the video and checkout how easy it is!


     We do hope you enjoyed this video and post!  We had so much fun making this dish.  Most of the team was involved and we all just joked around and even had some camera fun.  When we cook as a group we have the most fun and that is what cooking is all about.  Getting together and just celebrating one's company.  We do hope you continue to cook and learn as you go.

Remember,
Cooking should be FUN, have FUN doing it!

Stuff Cube Steak (Poor Man's Steak)

     Everyone loves Steak!  Well we want to show you a way to cook steak even if funds are tight!  Cube Stake, is also referred to as poor mans steak.  It is much less expensive however the quality is not as great you can still do many things with it!  This awesome meal won't take long and it is something new to try!

     Cube Steak can get a bad rap per people feel it is a bit cheaper in quality.  Looks almost like a larger burger than a smooth piece of thick steak.  However with some love and dedication you can turn this little brother of steaks into an amazing new meal!  Most Cube Steaks are just grilled or pan seared but by stuffing a few pieces with some fresh ingredients you can have a new twist on how you cook it!

Prep Time: 15
Cook Time: 30
Total Time: 45

Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 Pieces of Cube Steak
4 Ounces of Cheese. (Cream, Feta, or Blue works best)
1/2 Cut Pepper
1 /2 Cut Green Onion
1 Cups Spinach
1 Table Spoon Oil
2 Table Spoons Salt
2 Table Spoons Pepper
2 Table Spoons Garlic Powder
2 Table Spoons course seasons. (Like a Montreal season)


Directions:
Lay both pieces of Cube Steak out
Sprinkle your AP rub over the pieces. (Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder)
Spread the cheese you want to use over each piece of the steak.
In a small pan heat up your oil.
Cook your cut onion, pepper, Spinach.  Cook 1/2 way.
Place all the ingredients on one side of the steak.
Place the other cube steak on top.
Using string or cooking twine tie the cube steak together to hold it.
Sprinkle Each side with Fine AP rub again.
Sprinkle Each side with your course rub after.
Setup your grill to have direct/indirect heat. 350 Degrees
Place the Cube Steak over the direct heart, Flip around 2-3 minutes
Let Sit for another 2-3 minutes.
Move to indirect heat for 15-20 minutes or use your oven.
Take it off and let rest for about 5-10 minutes.
Slice up the steak and serve!

     We really hope you enjoyed this dinner.  Not sure if you have cooked or even tried Cube Steak but we do hope you try this meal out and even substitute different fillings for this meal.  Again the steaks are cheaper but the meat is a bit tougher so be aware of this.

     *Fun Fact from our Team!  We did this video months ago before our editing and writing team was fully set so our Chef had to write the script for our narrator to read!  Our Chef didn't want our narrator to have the credit of this meal we guess!  (Wait till our Narrator reads the blog!)



     We hope everyone tries this meal out and stay tuned for more great meals we will be showing you!

Thanks and remember,

Cooking should be FUN, so have FUN doing it!
