Meat & Potatoes... Milwaukee Style.

[Jim Lampe]

Now, everyone in Wisconsin has pets... whether real pets or just peeves... i got both.
This is Niner relazin'...

and this is Madison gnawing on a bone I smoked yesterday...

As much as the peeves go, we'll lettem go for now.

And on to cookin'....
Sliced up two large Russets about a good inch thick then butter-pat under'um on a CIS.

That seasoning you see on'um is Penzey's version of Adobo... very good stuff!<span class="ev_code_GREY">trust me!</span>

Set-up the Green OTG with CIGs on it...

...then plopped the CHUCK EYE STEAKS on'um!

These knuckleheads were EVOO'd then seasoned with.... Weber's Big Book Of Grilling TRI-TIP RUB (page 108).

OhYeah, there is Pecan wood in that kettle for smoke flavour...

The thing with these cute little steaks is: just keep flippin'um from one side to the other over direct hot heat until your tired or until your hungry!
I did that until it all looked like this:

Yeah, ok, liz did add broc an' corn an' carrots to the picture... butt really...

these lil' steaks prepared perfectly are as tasty IF NOT MORE than the monsters that cost nearly 3 TIMES as much!
As flavourful as these baby chuck eyes are, I'd be PROUD to serve these to my BEST FRIEND!
and today, I did!

Thanks for dealing with my fun!

ANOTHER Great J.L. dinner! Looks cold outside but very warm inside. I like how the little buddys sleep near the fire. I show these photos to my wife when you post them and she wants to know what the stones are with the names on them? Thanks!

 

[Wolgast]

Man that looks sooo good. Need to do another batch of those CIS-taters next meal. They are so good. Great Post Jim!

 

[Mike Coffman]

Super tasty looking meal Jim!

 

[Kim Drana]

I am coming over...any leftovers...

 

[Jim Lampe]

Thanks for your kind words

Rob, those stones are memorial stones of our pets that have passed away. The large one is Charlie, our Black Labrador and the small one, Reba, our Maine Coon.

 

[Rob M]

G-Morning Jim
Thanks for reply. Where can the wife and I get a couple of thoses Memorial stones? We actually just lost one of our little feline buddys Dec. 18 and he was 18 years old and 3 months. Your info is appreciated.

Two things got to me about your post.

First the food:
Outstanding as always!
I've had c'eyes on my brain lately, and will soon have some on my plate.

Second is your story about the pet stones.
Jim, your heart is as big as your personality.
And that's saying something!

 

[Steve Whiting]

Wow, you are speaking my language with that plate of food Jim. Very nicely done! (for a Cheese-Head).

 

[Jim H.]

Great looking meal Jim, and thanks for the pet info & pics. Four legged children are great!

 

[Bill W. Michigan]

Jim it amazes me how you can turn simple meat & potatoes into a gourmet meal.

 

[Jim Lampe]
