I have been wanting to try new things with my wsm. Well this past weekend I made a London Broil(I think it was a skirt) and some ABT's with a twist.
For the London broil I made a home brew marinade. Basically a bunch of stuff mixed together consisting of a beef marinade, Italian dressing, red wine, Worcestershire, and soy sauce. For the rub I used some pepper, granulated garlic, Italian seasonings, and some crushed red pepper. Here are a couple pictures.
First picture is before the rub.
With rub.
On the smoker.
I allowed it to cook until the temp got to about 100* and then I tossed it on my smoky Joe to sear and finish pulling at 125*. I did not quite get the sear I was after but it definitely did taste good.
Finished picture before a rest.
Freshly sliced.
Plated with some smoked beans from yesterdays rib cook on a soft roll with some sliced onion, mozzarella cheese and a horseradish sauce.
Now for the ABT's with a twist. I have been making these every weekend for the past few weeks and I'm addicted. While searching I found a bunch of different ways to make these crack like snacks. Yes I'm addicted! this weekend I tried something new and they were pretty good.
I made them just as most of you do. Basically splitting the peppers and deseading them. Stuffed with cream cheese with some rub mixed into them. Then used one whole slice of bacon to wrap them not using tooth picks. I find with using a whole slice you can tuck the end of the bacon strip into the fat end of the pepper and it works great. Cooked on the WSM until the bacon is crisp.
Ready for the smoker. Notice the grill rack on the kitchen sink. hehehe!
Ready to come off.
Then it was time to let them cool a bit and wrap them in some dough. I used basic ready made biscuit dough from the store. Took it on a flowered cutting board and rolled it flat to roll the abt's in. Here are some pictures of what I did.
Ready for the oven.
After 12 minutes at 350*
Plated and ready to be served.
I think next time I might brush them with a little bit of oil and sprinkle some garlic and herbs on them to add a little flavor to the breading! These are great snacks and I nuke them for about 30-40 seconds and eat. Yummmuy!
