Kansas City Steak Company T-Bone

I recently purchased some T-Bones from The Kansas City Steak Company.   I received 4 20 once T-Bones.  I only cooked 1 to start.  Keep reading to see all the details of the cook and learn why my 2nd cook was much better

Ingredients

1 22 OZ T bone Steak

Salt, Pepper or your favorite rub

Grill Setup

Start Traeger on smoke for 10 minutes with lid open'

Preheat lid closed to temperature 350 to 400

The Cook

They recommend leaving in the vacuum seal  packaging.  The directions say thaw in refrigerator for 24 hours prior to cooking.  I seasoned with my normal dry rub so I could see how the taste measured up to my local butchers T-Bone.  I cooked them about 5 or 6 minutes per side until an Internal temperature of 140 at 350. I did use Grill Grates and was able to obtain nice sear marks.

The Taste

The steak did taste good,  It was a little grizzles in parts.  The steaks at my local butcher tastes much better and for a significantly lower cost.  I do have some more T-Bones Left and plan on cooking them a little differently next time.  I will use the porterhouse recipe on Traeger web site which includes smoking for 30 to 45 minutes and then doing a reverse sear.  

Customer Service

They do seem to have really great customer service.  When I cancelled my auto ship they asked me why and i stated I could get a better quality and better tasting steak from my local butcher for less so they sent me 2 more T-Bones.  I sure do hope they taste better.  Here is the Post on my 2nd T bone Cook

Grilled Iowa Chops and Baked Potatoes

Grilled Iowa Chops and Baked Potatoes

Grilled Iowa Chops and Baked Potatoes

The notorious “Iowa Chop” is the seriously thick* and succulent pork chop, cut from the lower back of the hog, just behind the rib. Recently dubbed the “Porterhouse Chop”, they have a characteristic T-bone shape, with a substantial amount of loin meat on one side of the bone and a portion of tenderloin on the other side.  The thickness (1.25-1.5 inches) of this chop led it to be coined “The Iowa Chop”, in the 1980’s by the Iowa Pork Producers Association. The Iowa Chop is still in high demand and is used widely still today throughout the Midwest and beyond. The above defination of an Iowa Chop taken from the Web Site http://foodandswine.com/

Iowa Chops are one of my favorite things to grill on the Traeger.  They always come at tender and Juicy.  It really is the most perfect meat.  I often grill them with sweet potatoes and pineapple, but for this cook I changed it up a little and cooked baked Potatoes with them.  I did have pineapple left over from yesterday Ham Steak and Pineapple cook.  I didn't brine or marinate this time.  I used Trader Joe's Coffee and Garlic rub.  You can use your favorite rub or just salt and pepper.

Ingredients:

6 Iowa Pork Chops about 1 inch Thick and 1 LB each (T-Bones)

Your favorite Dry rub for Pork

4 Large Baked Potatoes 

Preperation

Wash Baked Potatoes

Cut in 1/2

Wrap in foil

I used a smal half to clean and season grill

Rub Pork chops with your favorite rub.

I used Trader Joes Garlic and coffee rub

Grill Setup

Start Traeger on smoke for 10 minutes with lid open'

Preheat lid closed to temperature 375

The Cook

I placed the Potatoes on the grill for about 50 Minutes 

After 50 Minutes I placed Pork Chops on grill

After about 7 minutes I flipped the Pork Chops

I Continue to cook the Pork chops  till an Internal Temperature of 140 degrees

The Wrap and Rest

Once desired temperature reached remove from grill tent with foil and allow to rest for 15 to 30 minutes

Hot Dogs and More on the Traeger

Hot dogs AKA Tubular Meat

The great thing about hot dogs and other Tubular Meat (Sausages and Brats) is you can always seem to squeeze a few on the grill.  I like that best at a high Temperature 375 or more to get a good char

but pretty much any cooking method works as long as your get the proper internal temperature.

Most of the time I just cook them as is but every now and then  I do prefer a Beef Hot Dog like Nathans. The Brats and Sausage are often Pork Products

 I do something special like wrap with bacon, or better yet stuff with cheese then wrap with bacon.

Here is the Traeger recipe for Bacon Wrapped Cheese hot dog

As you can see I have cooked hotdogs all by themselves.  I have cooked them with hanburgers and pineapples, pizza and pork chops and pizza.

I have seen other Beef charts like this before and have always found them to be extremely helpful.

I enjoy the fact that you can easily tell which cuts of meat come from which parts of the cow.  It also gives you recommended cooking methods for each cut of beef.  I have slow smoked many of the cuts that indicate pot roast or just roast.

Pork Butts soon to be Pulled Pork

When I cook pulled pork on my Traeger Jr I normally cook a pair of 7 to 8 pound butts.  It doesn't seem to take more pellets to cook that 2nd butt  so why not have leftovers.

Pulled Pork Omlette

Pulled pork sandwiches are great, but there has to be more.  My wife makes a mean pulled pork omelette (my favorite) and a pulled pork hash.  I also love pulled pork on a cheese burger.  Pulled pork would make an outstanding filling in a beer can burger.  Click here to see How I cook Pulled Pork

Searing Meat -Traeger Tips and Tricks

Searing Meat -Traeger Tips and Tricks

Sear Steaks Grill Marks

I have gotten really nice grill Marks on my steak from my Traeger directly from my grill grates.  If you want a good sear on your steaks to lock in those juices then you should be doing the reverse sear method.  When I first got my grill I saw a recipe that talked about searing in a cast Iron pan.  I went out and purchased a reversible cast Iron Griddle/Grill.  I wish I had not been so fast to pull the trigger on that purchase because I soon found out about GrillGrates.  They are way better for the Grill then Cast Iron,  They have holes in them so you can get that grill flavor.  

GrillGrates

Will my grill run hotter with GrillGrates?
Yes. GrillGrates cook via all methods of cooking: conduction, convection and infrared. GrillGrates with their extra mass and surface area literally radiate heat and provide more direct food contact than conventional grills. In addition they convect heat between the rails. Aluminum is a superb conductor of heat smoothing out hot spots and cold spots and focusing the heat of the grill to the raised rails. Adjust grill temps downward and enjoy gas savings or use less fuel. Keep in mind that most grills typically run 100-150F degrees hotter at the cooking surface than the air in the hood anyway and GrillGrates will be hotter still. Kamado grills run 200-300F hotter at the surface, gas grills 100-200F hotter and pellet grills you can expect to see about 100F hotter. --- Directly from GrillGrate Webpage, Notice the very end expect to see Pellet grills run 100 degrees hotter.  Click here for Grill Grate website.

There are five elements to the the Science of GrillGrate

1. Amplifies the Heat of any Grill

GrillGrates act like a lens on top of any heat source. They magnify and focus the grill's heat converting it to infrared heat.

2. Flare-Up Protection from the Bottom Plate

The underside and hole pattern of GrillGrates blocks flare-ups from engulfing food preventing charring and drying out.   --- No Flare ups on Traeger anyway.  Ive heard of people removing drip pan and  using grillgrates on top of firebox either with or without the Grills Grate on

3. Conducts Heat More Efficiently

GrillGrates are made from hard anodized aluminum, which conducts heat more efficiently than cast iron or stainless steel.

4. The Valleys Vaporize Drippings

Juices and drippings fall into the hot valleys where they sizzle and vaporize into flavor and retained moisture. The valleys of GrillGrates are a flavor enhancing system.

5. Perfect Sear Marks

GrillGrates conduct and focus heat up the raised rails for steakhouse quality searing. Sear marks can be controlled from golden brown to dark, crispy and flavorful.

Above taken from GrillGrate website Science of Grill Grates 

Here is a review about different kind of Grates including GrillGrates Click Here

In the above review of different type of Grill Grates from amazing ribs they do rate GrillGrates very highly and state you can add Pellets or chips in the Valleys of the Grates for extra flavor.  I will be trying this out ths weekend.

Chicken Quarters From Traeger - Recipe

Chicken Quarters from Traeger

Chicken Quarters on The Traeger

Recently they started selling uncooked Bob's BBQ  Seasoned food in there meat Dept. We scored 2 2 packages of Bobs Seasoned  chicken Quarters at 79 cents a Pound.  I will use the procedure from the Traeger website to cook them. Except I won't prep them since they are already prepped. Traeger on.

Any recipe I make is just a guideline.  I am not a big fan of gooey sauces so almost everything is I cook would be a dry rub.  You of course should experiment and see what works best for you.  I don't often recommend a rub because it is a matter of personnel taste.  These recipe would also work well on most other pellet grills or charcoal and gas grill using indirect heat for the low temperature recipes.

When it comes to Grilling no one does it better then the BBQ Pit Boys.  They tend to cook everything on a Weber charcoal  grill.  If you can cook it on a Weber you can cook it on a Traeger.  I really enjoy watching the weekly Videos that the BBQ Pit Boys create,  Here are just a few of my favorite ones.

I Just throw the Vegetables on the grill and cook them on both sides turning occasionally.   

When I am cooking only vegetables I cook them at 375 and get a nice char on both sides.  I just wing it and check them every 10 minutes or so and turn as needed.  When cooking with something else like burgers or chops I just cook them at temperature of main entree and still check and turn from time to time,  I pull them off when they have a nice Char

My wife is from Iowa and whenever she visits home she brings back a batch of Iowa chops.  I used to like pork chops and I still do but these Iowa chops have me spoiled.  They cut them thick with the bone in of course,  I can never seem to get enough of them.  Often I cook the chops with pineapple and Sweet Potato on the Traeger.

Smoked Bone In Turkey Breast and Chuck Roast - Combination

When I cook on my Traeger especially if I am going to do a long cook, I like to use as much real estate as possible.  I often cook multiplies of the same item and eat leftover all week or freeze for leftovers.  Sometimes you just hit upon combinations that just work well together.  In this cook I smoked a Bone in Turkey Breast and Chuck roast at the same time. They both came out really well.

Pork Loin Traeger Recipe

Two Pork Loins roasted low and slow with a smoke tube

Pork Loin Traeger Recipe

Pork is one of my Favorite things to cook on the Traeger.  I've cooked Pulled Pork, Pork Chops, Pork Ribs and Pork Tenderloin.  I do Like Pork Loins because I enjoy a roast pork sandwich on garlic bread. I do cook the Garlic bread on the Traeger.  I have also found that center cut pork loin is the best cut to use.   You may notice I use a smoke tube, for some extra smoke. Click Here for blog post about smoke tube

The Butcher cut the pork loin into steaks or Chops but I prefer to cook it whole and slice it myself.

I dry rub the Pork loin.  I place it on the Traeger at 225.  I spray with apple juice every 30 minutes or so.  I pull at an Internal temperature of 140 to 145 and let it rest tented in foil for 15 minutes or so. Then just slice and enjoy.  It goes great on Garlic bread with a slice of grill pineapple

Baby Back Ribs Traeger Recipe

Baby Back Ribs Almost ready to eat

Baby back ribs on  the Traeger.  

Nothing beats Baby back ribs in my humble opinion except for maybe Baby back ribs on  the Traeger.  There are lots of methods for cooking baby back ribs.  I never boil them first.  I never start or finish in the oven.  I always use a Dry Rub because I am not big on sauces.  People can always sauce them at the end.  I always use the 3-2-1 method cause if it isn't broke don't fix it.

Pizza - Baking on The Traeger Recipe

Pizza and Dogs on the Traeger

As the saying goes if you can cook it in an oven you can cook it on the Traeger.  The Traeger is a convection oven.  I have done Pizza on the Traeger more then once.  It always comes out good.  I cook it based on the package recipe directions.  I do turn it 1/4 turn every 5 minutes to account for Temp swings.  As you can see I am cooking my pizza on the Junior Rack with hotdogs below.  There are also many Traeger Pizza Recipes online using naan bread, boboli, and english muffins etc.  You can of course make your own dough.

Lobster and Bacon Wrapped Filets - Combinations that Work

Lobster and Bacon Wrapped Filets on the Traeger

Bacon Wrapped Filets and Lobster Tail

Traeger Recipe

Some combinations just work well on the Traeger.  When I think of combinations I think of surf and Turf (Steak and Lobster)  My favorite steak hppens to be Bacon Wrapped Fillets.  I have cooked Lobster Tails and Bacon Wrapped Filets 2 different times on the Traeger. The thing that was nice about this combination they went on the Traeger  and came off the Traeger  at virtually the same time. I go through the normal start up procedure Lid up on smoke for 10 Minutes, then close lid and pre Heat to a temperature of 225.  I then place the Lobster and Filet on the Grill and cook for about 45 Minutes.  I cook to temperature and not time.  I pull the Lobsters and bacon wrapped filets at an internal temperature of 135 to 140.

It Looks Like I had room for Pineapple as well, Ill keep that in mind for next time.

The Actual Recipes:

BBQ Lobster 

Cut shell with Scissor
Pull the meat out above the shell but leave attached at tail
Brushed with melted butter
Smoke at 225 for abt 45 minutes Internal Temp should be 135-140
