"Wow. a burger with bacon. Big deal."

BY GOLLY! THIS HAS CANDIED BACON!! A real game changer!

Rather than just throwing on some overly crispy or under cooked and chewy bacon on top of a burger for the sake of having it there.

Candying your bacon...on the grill...gives the bacon a smoky and sweet taste that is truly unbelievable.

As far as the burger goes, it is a little more labor-intensive. But the extra effort has a huge payoff! All the components can be made simultaneously, so while it might be a busy 20 to 25 minutes, it’s definitely doable.

It's the unofficial start to summer....at least in the Northern climates of the U.S. How about a two-fer?  Two recipes in one blog post.

#1 - Coffee-Rubbed Hanger Steak with Smokey Vanilla Tomato Relish. The showstopper.

​

#2 - ​Steak Skewers with Chimichurri

A perfect recipe for summer cookouts. Easy, fresh and full of flavor. Yumm!

When that smell's in the air, you can bet it’s even better with a few good friends, a cold beer in the hand (with a few more in the cooler) and some tasty, charred grub on the way. That smell makes most people wish summer could stick around forever.

But alas, when Labor Day rolls around the days start getting shorter, the regular get-togethers ease up and the good times of summer start feeling like they're slipping away…and maybe they are. But don't worry, there's still time for a few more outdoor cookouts with fire, lots of grub and your friends and family.
​
For the 2023 “last hurrah” on the grill let’s add a touch of spice to your flat iron steak or top sirloin steaks.  The kicker in this recipe is the chimichurri, which is originally from Argentina and Uruguayan cuisine. Basically, it’s an uncooked sauce used as an ingredient or as a table condiment for any grilled meat (pork, chicken, poultry, fish, beef) and in this case, grass-fed steak.

Skewer your beef with colorful veggies, marinate for up to eight hours and then grill it or cook it over a campfire. Either way, you've got yourself a healthy and yummy summer meal. This recipe is another easy weeknight dinner option. Made with lots of colorful, fresh veggies and tender juicy steak, it’s a meal your family will love.

Note: Tri-tip is either sold as a small roast (the entire triangular cut from the tip of the sirloin), or it's sliced into tri-tip steaks. You can also use sirloin. flat iron or strip steak.
