Bacon Wrapped Brined Shrimp w/Chipotle BBQ Sauce

and Atomic Buffalo Turds!


 

 Basted during grilling with Chipotle BBQ Sauce
(Bullseye Original kicked up with chipotles, cayenne & red chili flakes)
This was sweat on the forehead inducing stuff - especially when used as a dipping sauce. Whoa.

Sirloin Steaks with Roasted Garlic Butter

Two 1" thick Sirloin steaks (sale!)

Homemade Roasted Garlic Butter
Whole head of garlic, cut off the top
Place in center of a aluminum foil square
Drizzle top of garlic with EVOO
Seal the garlic in the foil
In-direct heat for 45-50 mins @350°

Allow garlic to cool & then combine in a bowl:
Squeeze the garlic out of the cloves
4 Tbs of softened butter
1 tsp of Dijon mustard
1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp of Kosher salt (if using unsalted butter)


The beef was rubbed with a commercial burgundy rub and after they came off the grill, a couple teaspoons of the garlic butter is added. This helps give a tasty richness to the sirloins.

Atomic Buffalo Turds & Chicken Quesadillas

Atomic Buffalo Turds (ABT's)
aka Bacon-wrapped, Cheese-stuffed Jalapeno Poppers
Monterey Jack cheese, Bacon & Jalapeno apple-wood smoked @275°
We used some Jalapeno's from our garden!! Awesome!

Surprisingly, there was still quite a bit of melted cheese left in the Jalapeno.
They sell special pepper holders that keep the jalapeno's upright while barbecuing.


Chicken Quesadillas
with South-western seasoned chicken, Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheeses and onion



Very good stuff. We also made bacon wrapped, bite sized chicken nuggets, dredged in brown sugar and chili powder (not pictured). They're a mess on the grill, so they were baked in the oven @350° for 25-30 minutes.

It will definitely be a TUMS­® night!
