Sometimes you just need a big plate of steak and eggs! Protein for the win here! Sliced up some of the leftover tri-tip. This is the smoked tri tip I made for the tacos, seasoned with @neilsarap wild game rub and cooked with @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend. To reheat it I simply sliced it and tossed it into my @hexclad pan. Once the meat was warmed through I took it out of the pan, bumped up the heat a bit and cracked in 3 eggs. All they needed were some fresh cracked pepper and @redmondrealsalt Super easy meal, filling and delicious!#steakandeggs #carnivore #lunch #tritip #bearmountainbbq #leftovers

Tri-Tip TacosThese tacos start with this smoked Tri-Tip. I tried all the external fat off the tri-tip and seasoned it liberally with @neilsarap wild game rub. It was smoked at 225 using @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend pellets. Finish temp was 135 and it was well rested. I grilled up some onions, simple diced onion and @chosenfoods avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. While those were cooking I toasted two @guerrerotortillas low carb tortillas. At the flip of the tortilla I pulled on plenty of tri-tip, then layered on some queso(leftover from Sunday), the grilled onions, and finally some @eatwholly avocado. These steak tacos set the bar high on this taco Tuesday, and if these don't make you hungry you may want to check your taste buds! #tacotuesday #steaktacos #tritiptaco #tritip #taconight #queso #beeftacos #tuesdaynight

My Game Day Feast! The chicken wings were the star of the show. Two flavors, classic buffalo and a lemon pepper wing that was tossed in @spiceology chimichurri oil and parmesan. Both were smoked using @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend pellets at 225 till they were cooked internally, then I bumped the temp to 375 to crisp them up. The cheese sauce smoked alongside the wings, and was seasoned with @neilsarap southwest AP and @herdezbrand chipotle salsa. I made some chips for dipping as well, just a @cutdacarbCut into chips, lightly oiled and salted with @redmondrealsalt And baked at 375 till crispy. Some veggies and ranch dip, and Soft pretzels rounded it out for the snacks. #gameday #footballfood #chickenwings #queso #ranchdip #snacks #smokedwings #smokedqueso #chipsanddip

NY Strip & AsparagusReverse seared Thick cut NY strip smoked with @bearmountainbbq bourbon blend pellets. The steak was seasoned with @redmondrealsalt ancient grains sea salt and @neilsarap original beef rub. After a nice long smoke I seared the steak in the bacon fat rendered while cooking the bacon and asparagus. A touch of butter to finish the sear in the pan and it was set. #steakdinner #nystripsteaks #steakhouse #bearmountainbbq #asparagus #baconbits #perfectsteak #steak #fancydinner #dinnergoals #reversesear #mediumrare #steakgoals #healthydinner

Protein Omelette3 eggs. Scrambled with @redmondrealsalt ancient grains sea salt. The chicken is the prepared chicken from yesterday, baked and seasoned in @spiceology Greek freak. About 1.5oz of mozzarella cheese and I topped it with @underwoodranches siracha and @terrapinridgefarms banod bang sauce. (Can you tell I am obsessed with that combo yet?)Quick, easy, protein packed. I did 2 miles to the gym. 45 minutes of workout, 2 miles back, and another 1.75 miles jog at lunch. The protein was needed…#omelette #fitness #myfitnessjourney #healthymeals #scrambledeggs #chickenbreast

Smoked cheese is ready to rest5lbs of cheddar and 5 lbs of Gouda smoked using @bearmountainbbq oak pellets in my @ezsmokertubes with the @yodersmokers on but not running (fan only) for about 3 hours. Then it was set open in the fridge for two days to air out before getting brushed with olive oil and then coated in the various flavors. For the cheddar:@neilsarap dayum@spiceology really ranch@bravadospice jalapeno and garlicFor the Gouda:@spiceology really ranch@spiceology rosemary dijon@spiceology guac and rollThey all get wrapped in butcher paper then vacuum sealed and will tear at minimum a few weeks. Some may be aged longer giving them time really helps mellow the smoke and take on the flavor of the rub. #smokedcheese #cheese #flavoredcheese #bearmountainbbq #spiceology #cheeselover #charcuterie
