Grilled Carne Asada

Tamales, Campfire Fish Tacos, Grilled Guacamole, now carne asada? Is there a pattern here or is it just innate skills at work? No matter, in between all the burgers, pork steaks and rib eyes, I indulge myself (and my wife) with authentic Mexican cuisine on the grill. I was inspired to make my own when [...]

Rendezvous Ribs

This is the craziest rib method I have ever tried.  I had some really low expectations but I tried it anyway. I was floored at how well they turned out.  For those of you not familiar with the method, let me explain so that you will understand why I was skeptical.  See, the Rendezvous method [...]

Grilled Guacamole

Arthur Aguirre is back with another amazing recipe.  I’m not sure how he could top his
Tamales with Pulled Pork or Campfire Fish Tacos but then he sends me this write up and these pics.  Sweet Jesus does this look fantastic.  I will hand it over to Arthur now so he can tell you how he [...]

Reverse Seared Country Style Ribs

With the success of the Reverse Seared Pork Steaks I decided to try the method with country style ribs.  These meaty hunks lend themselves nicely to this process as they are not as thin as pork steaks and can handle extensive periods of smoke without drying out.  The process is fairly simple but extremely satisfying…

Tamales made with Pulled Pork

I’d like to introduce our first Guest Grillin Fool – Arthur Aguirre has been blowing up the Grillin Fools Facebook page lately with pictures of great stuff he has done on the grill, so I asked him if he would like to do a post for the site.  He agreed and offered to share his [...]

Grilled Chops with Grilled Fruit Salsa

My cousin Tom and his Wife are really bringing it on the grill lately.  The Pear and Goat Cheese Crostinis just recently and now this?  Wow!!  And for those of you that really enjoy fruit salsa I highly recommend grilling that fruit salsa.  The grill caramelizes the sugars in the fruits and vegetables and adds [...]
