In honor of National BBQ Day⦠hereās a little behind the scenes of our outdoor kitchen build šš„

I really underestimated what goes into building an outdoor kitchen from scratch š
From building the metal framing, to cement board, to measuring every appliance opening a million times⦠there are SO many steps before the āprettyā part even starts.
But seeing the first components finally slide into place made the whole vision start feeling real. And comparing the renderings to the actual progress now is honestly wild.
Also have to say, working with @bbqguys throughout this process has been incredible. Their team helped us visualize the entire layout before building, which made planning this space so much easier and helped us avoid mistakes along the way.
If youāre planning an outdoor kitchen project, definitely get the free 3D rendering done before building. Being able to visualize everything beforehand made such a difference for us.
Still a lot left to do, but itās finally starting to come together exactly how we imagined š¤

This is your sign to SMOKE SOME BURGERS THIS WEEKEND, NEXT WEEKEND & THE WEEKEND AFTER THAT š
Recipe -
Ingredients
2 lbs ground beef - I used SRF American Wagyu
Salt pepper garlic aka my CRUST RUB
1 lb thick cut bacon
Brioche buns
American Cheese - I used Organic Valley
Burger toppings - lettuce tomato pickles onion
Sauce - 1 cup mayo, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup mustard, 2 tbsp pickle juice, 2 tbsp relish, 1 tbsp hot sauce, SPG
The process -
Preheat @traegergrills to 250°F - works with any pellets. Season ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic, and form your burger patties. You can make half pound or a quarter pounder. I think half pound works best for this recipe.
Place bacon on a wire rack & and smoke alongside the burgers for about 45 minutes or until the burgers reach 140°F internal temperature. Add cheese and either crank the grill up or melt with a torch. Toast the buns on the Traeger as well.
Make burger sauce by combining all listed ingredients, and assemble your beautifully smoked burger.
These are great for #memorialdayweekend - if ya make them, tag me and let know what you think!

I genuinely had no idea BBQGuys offered thisā¦
Before ordering anything for our outdoor kitchen, @bbqguys created a full 3D rendering of our cabana layout so we could actually visualize the space before building.

Everything was done over email, they were incredibly responsive with revisions, and I loved that every appliance was clickable so we knew exactly what we were ordering.
Seeing it laid out this way helped us avoid mistakes we probably would have made just guessing.
And the craziest part⦠this entire design process was free!!!
Memorial Day sales are happening now if youāre planning an outdoor space ššŗšøā²ļø

Always season your griddle because that black layer is doing more than you think.
Hereās why it matters:
ā”ļø Youāre creating a natural, non-stick surface (so eggs slide right off)
ā”ļø Youāre sealing the steel from rust (because we all need protection from the weather š§ļø)
ā”ļø Youāre building flavor. That dark, glossy layer isnāt burnt, itās every cook youāve ever made baked into the steel
Thin layers, high heat, repeat. Save this for when your griddle shows up š

Cinco De Mayo falls on a Tuesday next week, so you know Iām going to be grilling up some tacos š®
Crispy & Cheesy Skirt Steak Tacos with a Grilled Tomatillo & JalapeƱo Salsa on the @traegergrills Woodridge Pro š® šØ
These were quick and easy to make, just got to use your time right!
Ingredients -
Skirt steak @snakeriverfarms
Fajita Rub
Tomatillos
JalapeƱo
Lime
Green Onion
Shallot
EVOO
Breakdown -
Started with prepping the crema -
Slicing up the tomatillos, shallot, jalapeƱos, limes, and seasoning with a spicy and citrusy rub combo (stay tuned š), grilled em at 500F while I seasoned my steak with the same rub combo using oil as a binder.
Took the veggies off, let em cool then blended with the grilled lime juice, fresh cilantro, and then blended in olive oil.
Grilled the steak hot & fast while heating up the cast iron for the tortillas.
Sliced up the skirt steak & shredded Oaxaca.
Added the steak, shredded cheese, and crema to a tortilla and fried until crispy using a high smoke point oil š„
Dipped them into the salsa and devoured them. Took a nap and dreamt about them.
