Tuesday

Ingredients
1.5-2lb flank steak
¼ – ½ cup canola oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon (more or less) chile powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 cup of SaSo’s Roasted Red Pepper Chipotle Sauce plus more for dipping

Coat each side of flank steak with canola oil, then season steak on both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder and chile powder. Preheat grill. Once grill is hot, add flank steak, close lid on grill. Grill for 2 minutes on high, flip steak and grill for 2 more minutes. Turn heat down to low and let steak go 2 more minutes. Then, flip back to original side for two more. This will give you a medium rare steak, adjust time according to your doneness preference. Remove steak, let rest for 10 minutes.
Slice the steak across (perpendicular to) the grain. Serve steak with a few tablespoons of SaSo’s Roasted Red Pepper Chipotle Sauce spooned over steak, plus more for dipping. Compliment with roasted red potatoes and grilled asparagus.

SaSo’s Ribs

Saturday

Ingredients

1 full rack of Baby Back Ribs
3 tablespoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of: black pepper, salt, coriander, chili powder, cayenne powder, mexican oregano, paprika, cumin, garlic powder and cajun seasoning
1/2-3/4 bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce. . .I prefer Stubbs Spicy
1/2 cup of SaSo’s Chile Pequin Hot Sauce

 

Preheat oven to 250.  Create smooth paste by mixing yellow mustard and brown sugar, set aside.  Remove membrane from back of ribs by peeling from the small side to the large (helps to use a paper towel for grip).  Slather paste of mustard and brown sugar equally on front and back of ribs.  Combine all dry seasonings to create ‘Rub’ mixture and generously coat both sides of ribs.

Wrap ribs in foil.  Set ribs in baking dish to collect drippings.  Bake at 250 for 3-4 hours (4 if you want them falling off the bone).  Once finished baking, remove ribs from foil and set aside.  Preheat outside grill to high.  Mix a good portion of the BBQ sauce with the drippings in the baking dish.   Brush ribs on both sides with BBQ sauce/dripping mixture.

Add ribs to grill and turn down temperature to med-low.  Grill ribs with lid closed, 10-15 minutes per side, basting 2 times per side, you are looking for a nice crispy exterior.  *Watch not to burn. . .brown sugar + BBQ sauce = burns quickly.  Remove ribs and serve with SaSo’s Chile Pequin Hot Sauce for dipping.
