Pork Steaks, burgers, and smoked tomatoes

[Bob Correll]

Sunday's cook started with a packet of gold potatoes with onions and butter, Texas sausage link, and a Hatch chile pepper.

Followed by the steaks.

The pepper went on my spuds.

Had an overload of grape tomatoes, so I smoked some using my smoke tube with apple pellets.

After 2 hours they went into the dehydrator.

Small yield but they are smokey, sweet, and tasty.

Monday was burgers.
This is Costco's lean 83/17 ground beef, so I put a pat of butter in each.

No plate shot, but here they are getting cheesed.

Jo Anne made a pecan pie cobbler.

It was outstanding!

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!

Everything looks great Bob!

Yer eatin' good, Bob, real good!! Everything looks great, but I want to know what you use the smoked tomatoes for. I'm assuming as a flavor agent in sauces, etc? Are they kind of like a sundried tomato with some smoke flavor?

Nice work, sir!

That all looks great, Bob!

 

[Tyson]

Everything looks very tasty. The pecan pie cobbler looks amazing. I love anything with pecans. Are those pork shoulder chop steaks?

 

[Barb D]

Bob, that's some delicious looking food and simple . Tell Jo Anne I love her pecan pie cobbler, I do pecan pie but this I will be trying. Outstanding job by both of you.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Oh goody Barbs going to make that wonderful looking pecan pie cobbler, can't wait. Some nice cooks there Bob and great photos. Really like the tomato thing too. Our garden was a flop this year but it inspired me to start writing a book about gardening it's called ....The Hundred Dollar Tomato.

Your pork steaks always look fantastic, but that cobbler looks out of this world! Fine looking pics too!

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Your killing me Bob. From a deep fried twinkie to smoked tomatoes. How you capture those colors is beyond me. Everything looks delicious. I have a soft spot for burgers and yours are superb.

Forgot to mention Jo Anne's Pecan Cobbler looks wonderful. Pecans are my favorite nut and I know that was delicious.

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks everyone!
Rich G,
I use them like sundried, pizza, pasta, snacking....

Tyson,
Yes, steaks sliced from a pork shoulder/butt.

Here's the recipe Jo used, she did use less than the 2 cups called for on top:

Very creative and truly amazing cooks Bob

Bet those smoked tomato's would be great in a batch of chili Bob.
The pecan cobbler reminds me of my mom's pecan pie, but her pecans were not arranged as nicely as yours.
And, your plated picture looks great!

 

[Tyson]

Thanks, Bob.

Very good photos, very good food and an amazing pecan pie cobbler. This last one is new for me, I am going to try it for the next week, my daugther´s birthday.

I need a reason to go to St. Louis on the way to Prescott to collect recipes and calories!
How many leftovers would it take to get from you to Rich's, Bob? I think there would have to be a few side trips to see Rusty in LA. and Tyson in TX. too!
I just had breakfast and I already want something grilled for a ten o'clock snack!

 

[Angie H.]

Fantastic pics as usual Bob. The pecan pie cobbler is the showstopper for me! Everything looks delicious!

 

[JimK]

That's quite a round robin of BBQ goodness, Bob, topped off with a great looking dessert! Well done - both of you!

 

[Mark B]

Outstanding as usual Bob. No-one goes hungry at your place !

I grilled my first green Hatch chile this summer on vacation in Idaho. I'm hooked ! Too bad I never see them here.
