Pulled Pork is something we’re all familiar with, and you’ve probably had pulled chicken as well. But have you ever tried making pulled beef on the BBQ? No? You should! I personally find it tastier than pulled pork, and just like with pulled pork, you can serve pulled beef in various ways. In winter, for example, you can serve pulled beef with mashed potatoes, or you can use it as a topping on a burger. Delicious!
Occasionally, I also make desserts on the BBQ. Generally, the ideas for those come from my wife. Hence, the reason why the desserts are usually over the top and contain a lot of chocolate. This time, it was a skillet with a dough for chocolate chip cookies, with small pieces of marshmallows as an extra. Planning to make this dessert? Don’t go too big with your main course!
Preparing Pulled Pork on the BBQ is a matter of endurance and not knowing exactly when you’ll be sitting down to eat throughout the entire process. A session can easily last between 7 and 12 hours, and in some cases, even longer. But what if I told you that it could be much faster with a Dutch Oven? In about 5 hours, you can have delicious pulled pork, even smoked. And you don’t even need a meat thermometer! You can finally invite people over for dinner and be on time.
If I had to choose my favorite BBQ dish, I would probably go for spareribs. Nicely low & slow smoked, with a bit of smoking wood. Spending the whole afternoon working on them and then finally enjoying a delicious meal. That’s what BBQ should be like for me. Moreover, with spareribs, you can go in any direction with spices and marinades. Of course, you can buy one of the ready-made dry rubs for spareribs, and there are some delicious ones available, but creating your own rub is also a lot […]
Pulled Chicken is one of those classics that often comes off the BBQ at many BBQ parties. Easy to make in large quantities, easy to prepare, and delicious served on a bun. Or as a topping on your nachos or as a filling for your tacos. This time, I prepared the pulled chicken in the Dutch Oven, where you can probably make even more pulled chicken than if you just smoke the chicken thighs on the BBQ. In this recipe, no smoky flavor, but the chicken thighs are grilled before […]
When it comes to the combination of pork shoulder and BBQ, pulled pork often comes to mind. Not surprising, as it’s one of the most well-known and popular BBQ dishes to smoke. However, you can do much more with this beautiful piece of meat. This time I opted for a slow-smoked pork shoulder steak. Deliciously smoky in flavor, with recognizable pulled pork flavors, tender meat with a bit of a bite. Plus, the preparation time is much shorter than that of pulled pork, which is also an advantage. In my […]
A low & slow BBQ session with pork shoulder might immediately bring Pulled Pork to mind. Sure, it’s a delightful dish, but you can do much more with that beautiful piece of pork shoulder. Like a roast, for instance. I made this pork shoulder roulade, during our annual winter BBQ. A gorgeous piece of meat, slow-cooked and smoked, with a flavor everyone will enjoy. Definitely worth trying this recipes with your next pork shoulder!
A BBQ isn’t complete without a side dish for me. While a nice piece of meat from the BBQ is delicious, I also like to get some vegetables in, preferably cooked on the BBQ as well. Pointed bell peppers are among my favorite BBQ vegetables. They become deliciously sweet on the BBQ, and you can do so much with them. Stuff them, for example! I made delicious pointed bell peppers stuffed with tomatoes and mozzarella. A lovely side dish that turns your BBQ into a complete meal!
A while back, I received “Simple Smart BBQ” by Julius Jaspers, a Dutch BBQ Book. However, a delicious recipe from the book shouldn’t be missed, and I quickly knew which one to choose. Julius often has the most enjoyable recipes for desserts and fruit on the BBQ, and this grilled pineapple with coconut was soon on my to-do list! The recipe isn’t entirely according to the book because I’m not the biggest fan of the liquor that is originally in the recipe . However, my version is definitely worth trying!
I regularly cook a stew on the BBQ. All year round. I always stew on the BBQ in combination with a Dutch Oven. I have several, which I almost all place directly on the BBQ grill. Charcoal underneath, and you can prepare delicious stews on the BBQ. If you like, you can smoke the meat for your stew on the BBQ first or give it a good sear on the grill, but I don’t always do that. Especially in this recipe for Indonesian stew, it’s not necessary because it already […]
I fire up the BBQ regularly, and of course, I then want to serve a complete meal. That’s why I often prepare side dishes on the BBQ as well, to make the meal complete. This time I grilled deliciously seasoned BBQ potato slices. A simple recipe, but oh so tasty alongside a steak or any other delicious piece of meat from the grill. And, also important, easy to combine on the grill with lots of other dishes!
Grilling flank steak, also known as bavette, is always a great idea. In a previous recipe, I explained how to prepare Bavette or flank steak on the BBQ. In this recipe, we’re also working with a delicious flank steak, but we’re turning it into a flank steak roulade. We’ll fill it with tasty ingredients, then slowly cook it before giving it a final sear. Then, we’ll let the Bavette roulade rest for a few minutes before slicing it into beautiful pieces and serving. And what’s even more fun: With the […]
