As you can tell from the name, I'm a newbie. I have had the XL egg for about a month and cook on it all the time! I LOVE pizza on the egg, and have cooked chicken until I'm sick of it. I did slow cook thick cuts of porksteaks and they were awesome.
Just looking for ideas of other beef/pork things to cook. Besides steaks and pork steaks what are some of your favorites?
Thanks

    With a name like mine? Why, pork butt of course! :)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Shrimp

    Spicy Shrimp

    Ingredients:
    • 1 lb 15 ct shrimp, peeled to the last section leaving the tail for a handle, butter flied
    • 2 Clove Garlic, minced
    • 1 Tbs Kosher salt
    • 1 tsp Paprika
    • ½ tsp Cayenne pepper
    • 2 tsp Lemon juice
    • 2 Tbs Olive oil
    Cooking Directions:
    • These shrimp are really killer. The recipe comes from a Mark Bittman cook book, and about the only thing you can do wrong with it is to over cook the shrimp, or try to use ones that are too small and they fall through the grid. I use the frozen U-15 ones from Sam's club. Take 1 Tbs of kosher salt and 2 garlic cloves (minced) and mash them into a paste with the side of your knife or a mortar and pestal (easier). Add to that paste 1 tsp paprika, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tsp lemon juice, and 2 Tbs olive oil. Thaw and peel the shrimp, all but the tail section, for a handle. Butterfly them by cutting down the back halfway through the shrimp. If they have a vein remove it now. Mix the shrimp with the marinade then grill direct. Go about 2 minutes on the first side at about 400 dome, when they start to curl up, flip them and watch until they curl fairly tight and remove immediately. Some of them won't curl tight but you can pretty much tell when they are done, don't overcook! Let them rest for a few minutes and enjoy. -RP

    or Shrimp burgers

    Shrimp, Burgers


    Ingredients :
    1 lb raw Shrimp (cleaned, shelled & deveined)
    1 Egg
    1/4 cup finely chopped Parsley Leaves
    1/2 cup Panko Crumbs
    Kosher Salt
    Freshly ground Black Pepper
    Wasabi Mayonnaise (recipe follows)
    Wasabi Mayonnaise :
    1 cup Mayonnaise
    1/4 cup prepared Wasabi (available in the Asian section of your supermarket)
    1 tsp freshly grated Ginger
    2 Tbs Soy Sauce
    1 tsp Sugar
    pinch Salt




    Preparation :
    1 In a food processor, process half the shrimp with the egg. Coarsely chop the
    2 remaining shrimp and put it into a bowl. Add the processed shrimp and the parsley,
    3 panko crumbs, salt and pepper to taste. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and form
    4 them into patties (a round cookie cutter works well for forming the shrimp burgers.
    5 Put the cookie cutter on freezer or waxed paper and fill with the shrimp mixture,
    6 then gently pull off the cookie cutter). After the burgers are formed, put them in the
    7 refrigerator for about 2 hours to help them firm up.
    8 Stabilize egg at 350° with a raised grid. Place the burgers on a perforated pan such
    9 as a pizza pan with holes or a porcelain coated cooking grid. Place pan on the raised
    10 grid and grill until cooked through, turning once, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
    11 Remove the burgers to an english muffin half that has been spread with the Wasabi
    12 Mayonnaise. Add more Wasabi Mayonnaise on top of the shrimp burger. Cut into
    13 quarters and enjoy!
    14 Wasabi Mayonnaise :
    15 Mix all the ingredients together. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cover and
    16 refrigerate until ready to use.

    Cioppino

    Cioppino:
    1 large onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic minced
    1 large green pepper, diced
    1/3 cup parsley, chopped
    ¼ cup olive oil

    In a soup pot, sauté the vegetables in the oil until soft

    1 8-oz. Can tomato sauce
    3 14-½ oz. Can cut and peeled tomatoes
    1 cup water
    10oz. Tomato juice
    1 bay leaf
    1 tsp. Dried basil
    ½ tsp. Dried oregano
    1 tsp Parsley

    Add to the pot. Cover and simmer 20 minutes. If not served immediately, cool, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

    12 clams, well scrubbed (24 is better)
    1 lb. Medium shrimp – (2 pounds is better), shelled and cleaned (I use cooked and cleaned)
    1 large Dungeness crab, cleaned and broken into pieces
    1 pound of imitation crab (works great – use 2 if you don’t want to use the whole crab)

    bring soup back to a simmer. Add seafood and simmer an additional 20 minutes or until clams open and shrimp turn pink. (If using cooked shrimp – wait until clams begin to open than add shrimp).

    Notes:
    If using imitation crab get some legs for looks and the stock
    Feel free to vary the seafood to what is in season.

    Note: I have never cooked this on the egg, I am wondering how the smoke will change the flavor also the change if using flvor wood. Egg cooking is a next few days project.

    I hope whoever tries this enjoys it as much as I do.

    Melt some cheese on those burgers and top with sauteed onions (or egged if you insist). Then, blend some mayo, a little dijon and chopped chives. Awesome!

    Meat loaf!! use your favorite meatloaf recipe, you can cook it in a loaf pan or a CI skillet, I do mine indirect, platesetter legs up, right on the grid 350 dome to 160 internal, use a little hickory or oak smoke careful with oak, it can get strong).

    this time of year, we do a lot of soups, chili, and gumbos in a CI dutch oven, cook as you would on the stove, only leave the lid off for the smoke flavor, dome around 250-300

    For thanksgiving, I did a couple of casseroles on my large, no added smoke, just the lump, cooked them uncovered the last 30 minutes, everybody raved about the flavor difference between those and the ones that were cooked in the oven

    Have Fun,

    It really is quite good, if not particularly healthy. Heaping tbls mayo, tsp dijon and chopped chives. Even taste testing it is great!! :)

    I cook flank steak all the time - its good eats and the price is right. I'll also cook baked potatoes and asparagus to top it off..

    Marinate flank steak for +3hrs (6-8hrs is perfect) in a mixture of 1/2C olive oil, 1/2Cup red wine vinegar, juice from 1 lime, kosher salt, pepper, oregano, rosmary, garlic powder, onion powder. (or you can use italian dressing instead of mixing it yourself). I can marinate 2 flank steaks in a 2Gallon Ziplock w/1C marinate.

    After you marinate bring to room temp or hot tub. I cook 450° to 500° direct, top of fire ring level until the flank steak is at 125° (Med Rare) usually I flip it twice for a total of ~5-6min each side. tent in foil and let sit for 10 min... Slice thin against the grain... Enjoy...

    Good luck.
