jalepeno stuffed bacon wrapped brats

This is my favorite way to do brats.

Ingredients per serving:

one uncooked brat

2 strips of bacon

several slices of  jarred jalapeno peppers

Directions:

Using a sharp knife cut a slit in one side of the brat.

 

Stuff several slices of jalapeno peppers into the slit.

Starting at one end, tuck one end of  bacon into the slit and wrap the bacon around the brat. Do the same thing with second piece of bacon from the other end.

Bake in oven preheated to 425-450F until the bacon is crisp.

Stick the brat into a deli style roll, cover with sauteed onions and condiments of your choice.

Good grinds right there…

And here’s a cross section of deliciousness…

Enjoy!

cast iron skillet steak

This is with out a doubt my favorite way to cook a steak. The only seasoning used is the salt in the pan. The steak does the rest. I like to say, “the steak is the seasoning”  because all those juices that would normally go into the fire concentrate in the pan. Your steak will have a wonderful “crust” that you can only achieve with a cast iron skillet.

Directions:

Get your BBQ red hot and place your cast iron skillet on the cooking grate.

When it starts smoking well, sprinkle about a tablespoon of kosher salt on the bottom of the skillet.

As soon as the salt starts to turn brown lay your steak on the salt.

Turn after 4 or 5 minutes and cook for another 4 minutes for rare.

 

Remove from the skillet and allow to rest for a few minutes.
