I cut up a rack of St. Louis ribs and I was surprised at how tender and flavorful they were, even with very few ingredients. You'll want to save this one and try it for yourself. Check out the simple process below!

Ingredients:
• 1 Rack St. Louis Ribs
• 1 Bottle Of Bibigio Korean BBQ Sauce
• 1 Can Of Sapporo Beer
• Lillies Q Q-Rub
• 3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• Green Onions
• Sesame Seeds
Directions:
1. Remove membrane from back ribs then slice into individual ribs. Drop into a @cambromfg 4 quart then pour in half the @bibigiofficial sauce and half the @sapporobeerusa beer. Mix well then cover and refrigerate 12-24 hours.
2. Preheat the @traegergrills to 250 for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Remove ribs from marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Season with @lilliesq Q-Rub then place them directly on the grill bone side down. Close the lid and leave undisturbed for 2 hours.
3. Place the ribs into a High Heat H Pan then pour in the remaining sauce and beer. Add butter then cover and return to the heat.
4. Allow to cook 2 hours then remove the lid and allow to cook another 30-60 minutes until the sauce starts to set. Remove from heat, cover and place in a @chefstemp Final Rest BBQ Blanket. Allow to rest at least 30 minutes.

Chicken Tacos

Happy #TacoTuesday! I had to find a good use for my Triple Pepper Sauce and what better way than on some fully loaded tacos?!?! I started with a flour tortilla then dropped on some diced chicken thighs. It was followed by pinto beans, mexican rice, and a little coleslaw mix. It recieved some fresh avacado then some queso fresco. It got a heavy drizzle of Triple Pepper Green Sauce then a squeeze of fresh lime juice. All topped of with a little fresh cilantro.

Triple Pepper Green Sauce

It was time to turn the seasoning into a sauce! My all time favorite DD rub is the Triple Pepper and I wanted to try out a liquid version that I could put on anything. With cooler weather right around the corner it was time to make a little something to warm you up from the inside out! This spicy sauce will give anything you throw it on a tasty, spicy boost! Check out the full recipe below!

Ingredients

1 Medium Carrot

•1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
•1 Teaspoon Salt
•½ Teaspoon Cumin
•½ Teaspoon Mexican Oregano
•½ Teaspoon Chicken Bouillon
•1/2 Cup Cilantro
• 1/4 Cup Neutral Oil

Directions:
1. Preheat the @traegergrills to high for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Halve the peppers then remove the stems and seeds on. Halve the tomatoes. Peel the onion and remove the ends then quarter it. Peel the garlic then lay the veggies on a well oiled rack. Place the rack on the smoker for 20-30 minutes until charred and blistered. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
2. While the veggies roast, prep the carrot. Peel the carrot with a @deissofficial peeler, then cut it into small chunks. Place a small pan on a @gasland.us electric induction burner. Add in carrot and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then drop to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the carrot is fork tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
3. Add smoked veggies, carrots and cooking liquid, lime juice, vinegar, salt, cumin, oregano, bullion and cilantro to a @blendtec Wildside Jar. Blend until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil until the sauce turns creamy and silky.

Tri Tip

Don't skip one of the most important steps in BBQ. The rest. It allows those juices to redistribute and allows the muscle fibers to relax, resulting in a much more tender and tastier final product. The @chefstemp Final Rest Blanket is the perfect environment for your meat to take a little snooze before hitting the cutting board. Check out the full process on this simple tri-tip!

Ingredients:
• 1 Tri-Tip
• Golden Steer Sergio's Seasoning
• Golden Steer Pepper Mafia
• 4 Tablespoons Beef Tallow

Directions:
1. Season tri-tip with @goldensteer Sergio's Seasoning and Pepper Mafia. Leave on the counter for 45 minutes then prepare the grill.
2. Preheat the @webergrills to 350 for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Place meat in the center of the grill and leave undisturbed. After 10 minutes flip it. Allow to cook until it reaches 130 internal then pull with @bbqaidtools tongs.
3. Spread half the tallow on a piece of butcher paper then add the meat on top. Add the rest of the tallow to the top of the meat then wrap tightly. Place inside a Chefs Temp Final Rest Blanket and allow to rest a minimum of 20 minutes.
4. Remove from paper and place on a @bandito_boards . Slice against the grain with a @kumaknives then drizzle with juices from the butcher paper. Serve immediately.

Braided Chicken Breast

I might have to start braiding more things around here. This braided chicken breast was the star of the dinner table tonight and was the perfect meal for 1. The braid definitely added more surface area for seasoning and the nooks and crannies held the juices and sauces in place instead of letting them run out onto the grill. I recommend trying it out but meanwhile, check out the simple process below!

Ingredients:
• Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
• Garlic Olive Oil
• DD The Asian Blend
• Bachan's Japanese BBQ Sauce

Directions:
1. With a sharp @shuncutlery butterfly the chicken breast. Open up and lay flat then cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Using a @lightyear_kitchen Meat Hammer, pound out the breast until it is an even thickness throughout.
2. Turn the chicken so the length of meat is going away from you. Make 2 cuts about an inch from the top of the chicken all the way down to the bottom, creating 3 cutlets that are still attached on the top to eachother. Braid the chicken then secure the bottom with a toothpick. Brush with olive oil then sprinkle with DD The Asian Blend. Wrap and refrigerate at least 45 minutes, overnight is best.
3. Remove meat from refrigerator and preheat the grill. Heat your @webergrills to 350 for 15 minutes with the lid closed. Place meat in the middle then close the lid and leave undisturbed for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and generously baste with @trybachans . Allow to keep cooking until it reaches 165 internal. Remove from the heat and brush with another coat of Bachans. Loosely tent with foil then allow to rest at least 10 minutes before serving.
