Smoked Teriyaki Beef Bites with Wasabi Mayo

The perfect appetizer dish.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 pounds beef roast (sirloin, chuck, etc)
  • 3 Tblsp Oil
  • 1 cup Teriyaki Marinade (available most supermarkets)
  • 3 Tblsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp dried Chili Flakes
  • 1/3 cup Honey
  • 1 tsp Wasabi Powder
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise

 

DIRECTIONS

  1. Trim the beef roast of most fat and any membrane. Cut into 1/2 – 1 inch cubes
    2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, teriyaki marinade, soy sauce, chili flakes and honey. Dump the cubed beef in the bowl and toss so that the beef is fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 8 hours. If possible, stir the beef a couple times during the marinating process.
    3. Place the beef on smoker racks. If the beef is falling through use the jerky racks or magic mats.
    4. Set the Bradley Smoker to 225°F (105°C) using wood bisquettes of choice (mesquite, oak, hickory and pecan work great).
    5. Smoke the beef for 2 – 3 hours. The outside of the beef should develop a glaze as the marinade starts to caramelize.
    6. Make the wasabi mayo by mixing together the wasabi powder and the lemon juice. Whisk into the mayonnaise until combined and smooth.
    7. Serve the beef with the wasabi mayo.

Bradley Smoked Salsa Fatty Meatloaf

 

Smoked pork meatloaf stuffed with salsa and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1.5kg Pork mince
  • 1 tsp Chili powder
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried Oregano

Instructions

  1. Mix the ground pork, chili powder, garlic powder, oregano, and salt until well combined. Roll the meat mixture into a 10×10 inch square. Roll in a large freezer bag or on parchment paper so the meat will roll into the fatty easily.
  2. Spoon the salsa in a line in the middle of the sausage meat. Sprinkle the grated cheddar on top of the salsa.
  3. Roll up the fatty so that the cheese and salsa are completely surrounded by the meat mixture. Place the fatty on a smoker rack.

Cobb Cheese Caramelised Onion and Portobello Mushroom Fatty

Ingredients 

  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 2 Onions, diced
  • 2 Portobello mushrooms, diced very finely
  • 500g Beef mince
  • 250g Pork mince
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp dried Oregano
  • ½ tsp dried Thyme
  • ½ tsp ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 ½ Cups grated Mozzarella Cheese (or you can use Tasty or Cheddar Cheese if you prefer)
  • 16 strips of streaky bacon (for the optional bacon weave)
  • Bradley Smoker Flavour Wood Bisquettes (Pecan or the New Premium Hunter’s Blend work great)

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add onions and Portobello mushrooms. Sauté until they are caramelized. Set aside to come to room temperature.

 

  1. To make the bacon weave, lay eight bacon strips, side by side, vertically. Horizontally, weave the top bacon strip through the vertical strips. For the remaining horizontal strips, pull back every other vertical bacon strip (see the picture below). Lay a bacon strip down up snug to the horizontal strips. Pull the vertical strips back down. Do the same thing again, but with the other vertical bacon strips. Do this for the rest of the bacon until you have a complete bacon weave.

 

  1. Mix the Beef and Pork mince, Worcestershire sauce, Balsamic Vinegar, Garlic Powder, Oregano, Thyme, Salt and Pepper until well combined. Shape and press the meat mixture into the size of the bacon weave.
  2. Spread the onions and mushroom mixture along the middle of the meat mixture, staying away from the outer length edges. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the veggies.

 

  1. Roll up the ground meat into a log. Tuck in the sides to make sure there is no opening for the cheese to melt out of. Lay the beef on the bacon weave and wrap the weave around the beef log.

 

  1. Light your Cobb and allow charcoal to turn grey in colour. Add a Bradley wood bisquette on top of the charcoal to create fragrant smoke.  Place the Fatty on the roast rack,  insert the probe into the centre of the fatty.  Cover with the dome lid and remove from the COBB when the fatty’s internal temperature reaches 74C degrees.

Bradley Drunk Brisket with Bacon BBQ Sauce

Ingredients   

  • 1½ Kg Beef Brisket (alternatively you can use Chuck or Blade Steak)
  • 2 tsp Coarse Salt
  • 2 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
  • 2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 500g Bacon
  • 1 Onion – chopped
  • 4 Cloves Garlic – minced
  • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes
  • 2 Cups Beef Stock
  • 1 ½ Cup Ketchup
  • ¾ Cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Molasses
  • 1 bottle Dark Beer
  • ¼ Cup Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  1. Set your Bradley Smoker to 87C for 3 ½ hours and load with wood bisquettes (Mesquite works great with Beef).
  2. Season the meat on all sides with the salt/pepper/garlic mixture (reserve ½ Tbsp of the seasoning for later use). Place meat into the smoker rack and smoke for 3 hours.
  3. After 3 hours, remove from smoker and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight to infuse the smoke flavour.  If you are cooking the same day, skip the wrapping.
  4. Preheat a cast iron grill pan or heavy frying pan to high heat. Place the brisket fat side up and grill for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the meat has developed a nice colour on both sides.
  5. Heat a large heavy pot and cook the bacon until golden brown and crisp. Add the chopped onions to the pan and cook until tender (about 5 mins), add the garlic and cook for several more minutes.  Lower heat and add the tomatoes, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, beef stock and the remaining seasoning (reserved from earlier). Bring to a simmer and nettle the meat into the BBQ Sauce, cover with lid or tin foil.
  6. Preheat oven to 170C and place pot into oven – Cook for 1 ½ hours. The liquid will have decreased by about half.  Pour in the beer to bring the liquid back above the meat.  Replace lid and return to oven for an additional 1 ½ hours.
  7. Remove the meat from the pot and allow it to rest on a chopping board for at least 15 minutes. To the pot, add the cider vinegar and cook over medium heat.  Bring the sauce to a boil and stir frequently until it is reduced to a thick BBQ Sauce consistency.  You may need to separate any excess bacon fat from the top with a spoon.
  8. Slice the meat into approximately 6mm slices and drizzle with the warm BBQ sauce.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
