Steak and Potatoes

Posted on November 13, 2018December 16, 2020 KFPosted in meat, Recipe

JK’s Cowboy Blend seasoning is fantastic on grilled steak and roasted potatoes.

We lightly doused the inch thick ribeye steak with red wine vinegar to help tenderize the meat and set aside while we prepped and seasoned our cubed potatoes. While the potatoes were roasting on the grill at about 350 degrees, we pat dry any excess liquid from the steak and seasoned it. Next, we removed the potatoes and set aside to keep warm and prepared the grill for direct heat and let the temperature climb to 650 degrees. We grilled the steak for 2 minutes on each side for medium rare.

Thanks to Pine Trough Branch Farm, Reidsville, NC for the incredible steak.
Thanks to Cobblestone Farmers Market at Old Salem Museum & Gardens for a great season

Pork Porterhouse Chops

Posted on June 5, 2018December 16, 2020 KFLeave a commentPosted in meat, Recipe

A plate of JK’s seasoned pork porterhouse chop, green beans and watermelon slices.

We picked up a couple of Harmony Ridge Farms pork porterhouse chops at the Cobblestone Farmers Market in Winston-Salem.

And we sure are glad we did! The chops were about 3/4 inch thick. We liberally coated both sides with JK’s Cowboy Blend Seasoning and let sit for about 20 minutes.

While you can grill the pork chops the way you normally would, our method was to set our grill for direct heat and then we put the pork chops on when the thermometer registered 400 degrees. We grilled each side for three minutes with the lid closed.

Quick, easy and DELICIOUS!

Please support your local farmers.

If you are near W-S, head over to the Cobblestone Farmers Market and purchase a whole pasture-raised whole chicken from Buck Creek Farm out of Lexington. Delicious!

- - 1 Whole Chicken
  - JK’s Cowboy Blend Seasoning
  - 2 Tbsp. Cooking Oil
  - 1 Tbsp. Butter

Let’s get started!

Prepare grill for indirect cooking. Bring grill up to 350 degrees.

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Butterfly the chicken by removing the backbone and wishbone with meat scissors and then place the chicken cavity side down and press flat. Liberally sprinkle both sides of the chicken with JK’s Cowboy Blend Seasoning.

In a small bowl add 2 Tbsp. cooking oil, 1 Tbsp. butter and 2 tsp. JK’s Cowboy Blend Seasoning. Melt and stir, and set aside for use later as you grill.

Place chicken on grill, cavity side down. Close lid. After 20 to 30 minutes, flip chicken and spoon oil, butter and seasoning mixture into cavity. Make sure to spoon mixture into cracks where the meat has separated from the bones. Close lid and grill until done, another 20 to 30 minutes or until the chicken’s internal temperature is 165 to 170 degrees.

Black Bean Chorizo Soup

Your family will enjoy our black bean chorizo soup. The perfect answer to a cold day.

- - 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  - 1 pound cured chorizo sausage, casing removed
  - 2 large onions, chopped
  - 1 large sweet red pepper, (or two medium), chopped

  - 1 tablespoon Smoky Chipotle seasoning, or more to taste
  - Freshly ground pepper to taste

In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo in olive oil. Cook until broken apart and ﬁrm, about 5 to 7 minutes. Reserving the oil, remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, cook the onion, red pepper, celery and garlic in the reserved oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until the onions are tender. Add the black beans and chicken stock to the pan. Season with Smoky Chipotle and a few twists of freshly ground pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes then adjust seasoning to taste.

To thicken soup, ladle 2 cups soup into a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Return to the pan. Stir in the reserved chorizo and simmer another 15 minutes or so.

Garnish with cilantro or top with sour cream and shredded cheese if desired. Delicious with a crisp, cheese quesadilla.

Grilled Shrimp

Posted on December 28, 2016December 16, 2020 KFLeave a commentPosted in Recipe, Shrimp

One of our favorites. And it is so easy!

We love to use JK’s Smoky Chipotle seasoning to give a kick to the grilled shrimp.
Serve shrimp on a salad or over a polenta cake.

1. 1. Soak wooden skewers in water to offset burning when on the grill.
  2. Rub cooking oil onto skewers so shrimp doesn’t stick and is easy to remove once grilled.
  3. Peel, rinse and dry shrimp, then assemble skewers.
  4. Sprinkle both sides with JK’s seasoning.
  5. Place shrimp skewers on grill over direct heat.
  6. Turn often until shrimp is opaque and you have a few grill marks. Be careful to not overcook.
  7. Remove skewers from the grill and gently slide the shrimp off the skewers.

Baby Back Ribs

Posted on December 28, 2016December 16, 2020 KFLeave a commentPosted in meat, Recipe

Grilled baby back or St. Louis style ribs are always sure to please your cookout guests.

Use JK’s Cowboy Blend seasoning for a savory-sweet flavor or Smoky Chipotle seasoning for a little more smoke and heat.

Prep:
Remove the silver membrane on the underside of the rib rack. Tenderize the ribs with a few douses of apple cider vinegar, then rub vinegar into the meat. Pat ribs with paper towel to remove excess liquid.
Generously sprinkle seasoning, covering every inch of the rib rack on both sides. Do not rub the seasoning in. Let marinate for a minimum of 20 minutes.

Grill:
Choose your favorite grilling method – high and fast or low and slow. We grill indirect at 250 degrees for 2.5 to 3 hours. Bones down.

Serve and enjoy!

Too busy to grill the ribs immediately? Place ribs in a pan, cover tightly and place in fridge up to 1 week.
