Dispensing Happiness
Where There's Smoke...
.
there's a pretty happy guy, knife & fork in hand.
Sticking to my pledge to actually make more of the recipes from the half-dozen or so cooking magazines I get, Matt fired up the grill for this Wood-Smoked Tri-Tip with Sicillian Herb Sauce (Bon Appetit, July '07).
The beef is generously salted & peppered, left to sit a bit, then grilled over wood chips. When target temperature is reached, take it off, let it rest, slice thinly. Thyme, garlic, oregano and salt are processed with lemon juice & olive oil, and poured over the slices.
We added some par-boiled potatoes to the grill, creating the most seductively smoky starch-based food I've ever tasted. I see smoked potato salad in our future...

9 Thoughts for food:
this looks amazing! i can almost taste it. we have a gas barbeque, so i will have to have the woodchips on a baking tray on the grill, but it works pretty well as well. mmh! hickory-smoked pork ribs maybe? thanks for giving me a great idea here!
Looks fantastic! I don't eat red meat all that frequently, but those photos make me want to dig in! :)
scrumptious :D
have sent in my blog party 23 entry :)
I think this looks fabulous. I wish I would have seen it before hitting the grocery store!
Sorry it's taken so long to reply...we had a fried electrical outlet. There were sparks, and everything!
But Matt did the guy-thing, and all's well now...
Thanks, Johanna! I'm glad you can do it. In fact, the recipe had instructions for using a gas grill.
And I must apologize; I've missed yet ANOTHER Waiter, there's something in my...event.
I suck.
Erin, seriously...I almost wanted to eat it!
And I barely ate red meat when I was a carnivore! It smelled heavenly, too...
Hi Sarina!
Matt's still living off that roast...it was HUGE.
Hi Heather!
Well, you can just plan for the next week...but trust me, use a MUCH smaller cut. This one was enormous.
