The weather is getting warm, the grill is ready to be fired up, and National Burger Month has arrived! (Can you tell how excited I am for summer this year?) To celebrate the occasion, I have a new burger recipe to zest up your summer menus: Mojo Beef Burgers with Tequila-Lime Aioli.

Mojo is a Cuban condiment typically used as a marinade or sauce served alongside meats. Traditionally made with sour oranges, garlic, smoky cumin, and herbs, Mojo is bright and aromatic. We enjoy it so much on grilled steak, I figured, why not try a burger with it?

Full-flavored, fresh, and festive, these burgers are just begging to be served al fresco this summer!…

Beer Braised Corned Beef with Whiskey Mustard Glaze

7 Comments

Juicy beer braised corned beef, glazed with an irresistible mixture of brown sugar, whole grain mustard and whiskey, will take your St. Patrick’s Day celebration to the next level of deliciousness!

Beer Braised Corned Beef with Whiskey Mustard Glaze

As I was sorting through my St. Patrick’s Day recipes last weekend, I was surprised to realize that I haven’t posted a corned beef recipe on the blog yet! It’s something we make every year, but also a dish with no shortage of recipes to choose from online.

A couple of years ago, we got in the habit of beer braising our corned beef instead of the traditional boiling method. It gave such a nice flavor to the corned beef and felt extra-festive for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

Of course, never leaving well enough alone, I swooped in this year with a spiked mustard glaze. We always serve our corned beef alongside the traditional mustards, so I figured, why not put that flavor directly onto the brisket itself?

This Beer Braised Corned Beef with Whiskey Mustard Glaze is a twist on the traditional corned beef dinner, and we loved it.

Beef Tenderloin with Cognac Cream Sauce

I’m not sure how it’s possible that Christmas is next week! With the warm temps we’ve been experiencing in New Jersey, I feel like we’ve been heading toward Labor Day rather than Christmas and New Year’s.

Not that the promotional sales emails arriving en masse to my Inbox have let me forget how little time is left to shop; I had 1,600 messages piled up last week!

When it comes to planning Christmas dinner, there are few dishes I love to serve more than beef tenderloin. Juicy and tender with a peppery crust, this Beef Tenderloin with Cognac Cream Sauce makes an elegant and impressive centerpiece for any holiday table.

Smoky Grilled Meatball Subs

2 Comments

Grilled Meatball Subs layer lightly-charred meatballs with grilled onions, BBQ sauce, and melted cheese onto crusty rolls for a bold take on a classic.

Grilled Meatball Subs

Confession: when I posted my Bacon Bourbon Barbecue Sauce recipe on Sunday, I had an ulterior motive. As much as I love that sauce, what I really wanted to share with you more than anything before summer’s end is this recipe for Grilled Meatball Subs. While these sandwiches are certainly doable with a bottled sauce, we love the two recipes paired together so much that they’ve become something of a package deal in my house. So, in the age-old question of “which came first,” the sauce recipe had to grab the win, with meatball subs, as promised, not far behind.
