Southern Style Smoked Ribs

What you need:

Pork Ribs either Full, St. Louis or Baby Back cut

Most Wanted All Purpose Seasoning

Most Wanted Sweet & Spicy Grilling Sauce

Brown Sugar (if wanting sweet ribs)

1 cup Honey (if wanting sweet ribs)

 

Planning is everything and DO NOT TRY TO RUSH IT!  It's going to take an hour to prep the ribs, four hours for initial smoke, two hours for wrap and cook and ten minutes for finish grill.  That's seven hours minimum.  You can rush any step but keep in mind the faster you push it the less the quality.  Its all up to you!

Trim most excess fat and unwanted meat such as the back flap (but save and set aside for later).  Using a paper towel or catfish skinner, remove the thin rib membrane from the back side of the rib.

If you prefer your ribs sweet and gooey, like Gina does, combine equal parts of All Purpose Seasoning and brown sugar (1/2 cup each of Seasoning and Brown Sugar for each full slab or two baby backs).  Coat mixture VERY thick on all side of ribs.  Stack ribs on each other in an air tight container or plastic bag.  Let stand in refrigerator as long as possible or over night for the best results.  The ribs and mixture will be very juicy and sticky the longer you let them sit, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT!

Pull the ribs from refrigeration and allow to heat up to room temperature while you light the smoker.  We use a blend of charcoal, oak and cherry.  Allow your smoker to come up to an even temperature (210') with good clean smoke.  Place your ribs on the smoker and sit back and relax for the next four hours.  Check ribs to make sure they are getting even smoke and heat and that the temperature does not go below 200 or above 225.  Some smokers require the more wood and charcoal be added.  Using your manufactures instructions ad as directed.  NEVER ADD FRESH CHARCOAL WHILE YOU HAVE UNCOVERED MEAT.

After four hours remove ribs and ad fresh charcoal and wood to smoker.  Baste each rib front and back with Sweet & Spicy Grilling Sauce.  Wrap each rib in aluminum foil and place back on the smoker for an additional two more hours. 

Prepare finishing glaze, if you like your ribs sweet and gooey.  Add 1/4 cup of honey to each cup of Sweet & Spicy Grilling Sauce

Check for doneness after two hours.  The ribs should be very juicy and limp.  The meat will pull from the bone when gently pulled.  If it just falls of with little resistance it is over-cooked.  If it does not pull off very easily, leave wrapped and place on for a little while longer.

When done, remove from foil and add glaze to the meat side and place on grill meat side done.  While done add glaze to the rib side.  After about five minutes, checking constantly to avoid burning, flip over and add more glaze to the meat side and allow about five minutes to put a nice shiny rich dark glaze on the meat.

Grilled Steak

What you need:

Any cut of steak you desire

Most Wanted 30 Minute Marinade

Most Wanted All Purpose Seasoning

Place steak in glass container or zip lock plastic bag.  Pour marinade over steak and sprinkle seasoning generously on top.  Flip steak over and repeat process.  Let rest for 30 minutes for thinner cuts of meat.  For thicker cuts place in refrigerator for an hour or more.  The longer the better.   Allow enough time for the steak to warm up a little prior to placing on grill.

Place meat on grill at about a 45` angle to grill over direct heat.  Sprinkle steak again with seasoning.  After about 4 minutes turn steak 90` to give it the wonderful diamond grill marks.  After about 4 more minutes, turn steak over and repeat the process.  Depending upon the thickness, the steak should be about 150` for medium.

Place on heated serving platter and allow to rest about 5 minutes before serving of cutting.  ENJOY!

Variations:  This variation is for our favorite teriyaki or bourbon street taste.  For a more bold taste marinade with Most Wanted Original or Sweet & Spicy Grilling Sauce for an hour before lighting up the grill.

Baked Potato

What you need:

Large Baking Potato

Most Wanted All Purpose Seasoning

Butter Flavored Cooking Spray

Course Salt

Inexpensive Dry Parmesan Cheese

Good quality plastic wrap

Place a large sheet of plastic wrap on your working surface.  Place washed potato on plastic wrap and pierce skin several times with a fork.  Spray potato liberally with butter spray.  Sprinkle with course salt.  We like to use kosher or course sea salt if you can find it.  Sprinkle liberally with Most Wanted Seasonings and then liberally with parmesan cheese.  Flip potato over and repeat the process.  When finished, wrap potato with the plastic wrap.

Cook in microwave for about 8 minutes, moving and flipping if you do not have a carousal until almost finished.  Test doneness by piercing potato with a fork.  If it is easy to go to the center of the potato, it is finished.  Carefully unwrap potato and place on grill or in oven until the potato skin is a little crunchy.  Turn and repeat.  Serve with your favorite toppings.   ENJOY!

Beer Can Chicken

What you need:

Large Whole Fryer Chicken

Most Wanted 30 Minute Marinade

Most Wanted All Purpose Seasoning

1/2 can of Inexpensive Beer

Butter Flavored Cooking Spray

Open the entire top of the 1/2 can of beer.  Place 1 TBLS Seasoning into can.  Fill the rest of the can with Marinade almost to the top. 

Clean and pat dry chicken inside and out.  Sprinkle All Purpose Seasoning very generously into cavity of the chicken.  Place Beer Can in medium square baking dish.  Place chicken on top of Beer Can so that it looks like the chicken is sitting on top of the can and that the can is totally inside the cavity of the chicken.  Place the legs of the chicken apart to help secure it in place. 

Spray the outside of the entire chicken with buttered cooking spray and sprinkle the entire bird liberally with All Purpose Seasoning.  Place baking dish with chicken in 375` preheated oven for a hour (times differ depending on size and oven) or until done.  It may be necessary to cover parts of the bird (like the upper breast and wings) or the whole bird with aluminum foil to prevent excessive darkening or burning until the chicken is cooked completely. 

CAREFULLY remove dish and chicken from the oven and place near the sink for easy disposal of excess liquids.  THERE IS A LOT OF LIQUIDS inside the bird.  CAREFULLY remove can from bird and place the bird on your serving dish and allow to rest for 5 minutes before carving and serving.

Hints:  The use of a chicken roost to hold the chicken and the beer can is very helpful.  We use Buster's Drunk Chicken Roost from www.drunkchicken.com

Quick & Easy Shrimp

What you need:

Raw or Cooked Pealed  Shrimp

Most Wanted All Purpose Seasoning

Butter Flavored Cooking Spray

You are not going to believe how easy this is and how great this shrimp tastes on everything.

Spray shrimp and cooking surface with butter flavored cooking spray.  Sprinkle shrimp with All Purpose Seasonings.  Cook for about 2 minutes over medium heat and turn.  Spray opposite side with cooking spray and sprinkle again with All Purpose Seasoning.  Shrimp is finished when the shrimp is not translucent anymore and is juicy and tender.  Great care should be taken to assure shrimp is not overcooked.

This shrimp is great all by itself but is even better over a bed of lightly oiled fettuccini or angel hair pasta or in a fresh salad.  You'll find your own way to love your shrimp the way you want.  ENJOY!
