What are your favorite pork tenderloin marinades? I usually go with an oil, soy, Worcestershire, herb, citrus, or vinegar combo.

It's funny you ask this. My wife just did one with soy, sugar, white vinegar, garlic, dried onion, S & P. It works for fried rice as well.

I actually prefer to dry rub - oil/mustard then s+p, garlic, onion, chili powder, cumin, coriander, brown sugar, maybe a little heat, maybe a little cinnamon or clove. So good, just don't overcook!

Awesome served with bacon-mustard bbq sauce.
 
Thanks, its become one of my favorites too now that I've gotten better at it, fish can be tricky to smoke. We used to have a smoked fish place near my house in FL that made the best smoked fish and I really fell in love with it, Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish if anyone is in the Tampa/St Pete area.

The last couple times I've done a maple syrup/brown sugar glaze that's turned out awesome.

Anybody else ever eat at Rustler's Reef in PCB? It was a locals' place back off the beach. Everything was either fried or smoked. The smoked oysters were to die for. Heard it burned down a few years ago. I'd love to find someone that knew their oyster recipe/methodology.

I'm not sure if it's the same place, but when my mom live in Destin she took me to a place on or near Panama City Beach that was on stilts back off the beach. I seem to remember they offered a lot of smoked items, oysters included.

Anyway, just curious if you remember if they were bacon wrapped, seemed marinated, served with some type of sauce like Mignonette (not cocktail or horsy)etc.

I remember them being served on the half shell with a little garlic butter. Don't remember any bacon. It's been years ago, but I must have eaten 100 dozen or more through the years.
 
Anyone have a simple, flavorful bean recipe? The majority of these Bush's canned bean products are just mostly bland to me. I had some beans at a cookout that someone had thrown together. They started with canned beans but added like extra brown sugar and bacon to it and it was really good. They didn't have a recipe because they said they just threw it together.

I usually just take some can beans and add a little extra bacon and brown sugar. :)
 
So I've done every cut of pork ribs lots of different times and even done lamb ribs more than a few times but somehow I've never done a rack of beef ribs before. This Sunday I'll be doing a ribtraveganza with pork baby backs and spareribs as well as a rack of beef ribs. Any tips from the folks in here about must do's with a rack of beef? Best time and temp combos? Etc.

Couple of big cans of Bush's Original, a chopped white onion, and a pound of Tennessee Pride Hot sausage (cooked). Simmer on the smoker (obviously, the longer the better). Optional, add a can of pineapple chunks (if you're into that sort of thing).

No need to thank me now...

Never done beef ribs. Let us know how it works out. I stumbled upon a hell of a brisket method last year and LOVE the beefy flavor (my new go to for gatherings - kicks pork butt a$$). My wife would love a beef rib option.

Are they beef back ribs or spare ribs?

Since moving to Texas properly done brisket is my favorite BBQ.

Coug, I fixed some really good beans recently. Used 3 cans of Black chili beans and added one can of bushes grilling beans , smokehouse variety. Mix in some bbq sauce and bacon pieces and bake. Very good as I like mine not so sweet. The sauce I used was one I made from a recipe. :yes:
 
Anyone have ideas on what to do with beef shank? I'm sure I can braise or throw in a stew but could use some inspiration. Recipe? Alternatives? Help!

I've made this several times and it has personally made beef back ribs one of my new favorite things to smoke. I'm accused of saying that a lot but can't recommend this enough.

I need inspiration often. Maybe I can offer some suggestions to get your creativity rolling.

Braise the shank, but try some different ingredients and or substitutions.

Veggies. Add some turnips. Use Pearl onion instead of regular red or white. Or in addition to.

Oil. Instead of olive or vegetable, try grape seed or safflower.

Herbs. If you normally use dried, Try some fresh. Also try some tarragon.

Spices. Add some heat, Serrano, cayenne or Hungarian wax. Fresh instead of dried.

Moistening. Instead of or in addition to cheap red wine, use a decent Pinot Noir. Add a little or a lot of brandy, whiskey or beer.

Finishing garnitures. Sautéed mushrooms, porcini instead of button. Or, olives, artichoke hearts, capers, croutons or Gremolata.

Serve it with something different like herbed gnocchi, some type of risotto like roasted red pepper, asparagus, radicchio, pumpkin etc. Or a nice marinated cannellini bean salad.

No reason the meat has to be the only awesomeness.

If nothing else, I hope your mind is spinning with so many thoughts that you use nothing I just posted and create something extraordinary.

Enjoy whatever you end up doing.

Edit. Nice not ice. Haha.
