Buster Dog BBQ Update
0With the competition season closing in on us, we are happy to say that we will be back competing in 2012!
Buster Dog BBQ is once again catering events, please let us know your BBQ needs.
Boule Bread
0That’s the official name of the loaf i made. I bought the book Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day. It’s a no knead bread recipe that allows you to use what you want. Mixing water, flour, yeast and salt together I store it in the fridge and only cut off what I need in a two week period. This was my first try at bread. So after mixing the ingredients together I put in the fridge overnight. then I tore off a grapefruit size portion and rolled it out a little on a pizza peel with cornmeal to not stick. In the over at 350 for 20 min. I could do on the egg too but it was too cold for me.
I was really pleased with how it turned out. It was just like something you would get at a fancy bread store. The book allows you to make pita, ciabata, challah and a lot of other bread types. Should be fun.
Bacon wrapped brisket bites
0I got this idea from another BBQ cook, Diva Q. I had some left over burnt ends in the freezer and wrapped them in bacon and sprinkled some Plowboys Bovine Bold on them. Put in the smoker for about 2 hours at 275. They were pretty good. Nice appetizer and only 10,000 calories.
Cheese stuffed fatty balls
0A fatty is what you call a roll of sausage like Jimmy Dean that’s been rolled in a rub and smoked for a couple hours. I tried a new take on this, making meatball size portions and stuffing them with cheese. They were ok for a first round but needed more cheese and a little less cooking time. Maybe a marinara to dip with.
Top 50 BBQ Blogs
Didn’t make it this year, maybe next. I would agree on some of these but not all them. http://www.guidetoculinaryschools.com/best-bbq-blogs
Grill Grates
0One of the few accessories I don’t have. You can cook three ways on the same grid. I love it. http://www.nibblemethis.com/2010/11/best-cast-iron-grill-grate-ultimate.html#comment-form
Grilled Salmon Oscar
0I’ve seen this dish at Granite City Brewery and wanted to try it out. It’ s a long grain rice, grilled asparagus, grilled salmon (I used Dizzy Pig Raging River), lump crabmeat (from a can), and Hollandaise sauce (the pick is Bearnaise as I messed up). The dish is pretty easy to make and will easily impress your company.
Beef Short Ribs
0Never made beef ribs before and wanted to give a try. The more I looked around the more I saw people braising them. I really didnt want to divert from the plan of just cooking ribs. Here I have two pounds of short ribs. I cooked at 240 for three hours with a rub of Plowboys Bovine Bold. Then I wrapped in foil for an hour with parkay, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. I thought the flavor was great and the meat was moist. They probably could have been sauced and back on for another 30 minutes.
