I'm a surf & turf lover who
likes layers of flavor and a bit
of heat to round things off.
This recipe covers all these
attributes but one can make it
without the heat and still
retain the great variety of
flavors. The first
step is to prepare and trim the fat off
the outside of the Top Round
steaks. I have my local butcher
cut me two packages of thick cut
London Broils which are top
round. I like to trim all off
if possible exposing the meat to
the smoke.
Cut the steaks into desired
portions. Shake on some of the
Rub made by Mad Hunky Meats. URL
is above. Shake on a liberal
amount and rub it into the meat
so it has a nice coating.
Refrigerate and let season for
one hour.
Pre-Heat the smoker to 225
degrees. Place the steaks in the
center of the rack and smoke at
225 degrees until steaks reach
an internal temp of 120 degrees.
Now its time to flip them over.
Smoke steaks until they reach
130 degrees then mop them front
and back with Big Moe's BBQ
Sauce.
Continue cooking the meat
until it reaches your desired
internal temp for doneness. I
like mine @ 140 which is a
med rare to medium. In this case
family wanted medium well 155
degrees. That's fine. :-)
When the steaks get within 5
degree of desired temp it's a
great time to start working on
the Sautéed Mushrooms & Shrimp.
In a medium or large pan melt
1/2 stick butter over medium
heat. Do not go hotter as we
don't want to burn the butter.
Add in 8 oz. of sliced
mushrooms. Stir them
occasionally until they soften
up. add in 1/4 stick butter.
Add in 1 garlic clove
chopped. Stir it in good. Simmer
for 1 minute then add in .8 to 1
lbs. of pre cooked shrimp. Add
in the sliced green onion and
the last 1/4 stick of butter and
shake on some pig Pen's Hot &
Spicy Seasoning to taste. Simmer
shrimp & Mushrooms until the
shrimp are heated. Do not over
cook the shrimp as they will
shrink in size and toughen up.
Remove the shrimp and
mushrooms from the heat. Your
steaks should ready to come off
the smoker. When they come up to
your desired internal temp pull
them from the cooker. Give them
a light mopping of Big Moe's BBQ
Sauce. Now let them stand 15
minutes.
After the stakes have cooled
for 15 minutes, plate them up
and top them off with the
Sautéed mix of mushrooms, red
crushed pepper, onion, Pig pen's
seasoning, garlic and shrimp.
The flavors coming from this
meal will be amazing. Serve with
your favorite cold beer and a
side of Garlic potatoes.
Try this recipe using the rubs
and sauce at least once before
you switch out any of the
seasonings or sauces. I selected
these products because they were
in my opinion amazing together.
If you want to change things up
from there at least you tried
it.
This smoke too approximately
4 hours. Steaks when on at 2:30
PM and cam off at 6:35 PM.
Thanks for viewing and
remember....
Smoke it! And they will come!
