The BBQ Grail

I stopped into Costco the other day to purchase some tri-tip steaks for dinner and was on my way to the register when I saw these:

I got them home and it didn’t take long before the package was opened.

A few weeks ago a fellow member of the BBQ Brethren asked on the forum if any one had ever tried Todd’s Dirt. They wanted to know if someone could make any type of recommendation. No one could.

After visiting Todd’s website and reading about Dirt I decided to bite the bullet and buy some. A few days later the package arrived. Shipping was super fast.

Finding the time to grill something has been a challenge, but tonight I stopped at Costco on my way home from work and picked up some Tri-Tip steaks. My mom is in town and I needed to do a little cooking for her.

My first thought when opening the container of Dirt was that it smelled a great deal like Poultry Seasoning. I was a little concerned because I was cooking beef. But I decided to continue on.

I love Tri-Tip Steaks from Costco. They are one of my favorite cuts of meat. I recently received a bottle of Spicewine Gourmet Blend All Seasoning direct from Jay at Spicewine. I figured there wasn’t a better thing to try it out than the Tri-Tips.

I sprinkled a good helping of the All Seasoning on the Tri-Tips and let them set out for a 10 or 15 minutes. I figured this would help the seasoning adhere to the meat just a little bit better when they hit the grill.

I put them on the trusty Weber Kettle with a medium heat.

After turning them I basted them several times with a mixture of butter and All Seasoning.

And then they were done!

Spicewine’s Gourmet Blend All Seasoning is amazing. It gave the meat a flavor that I hadn’t had before. Most All Seasoning blends have a tendency to be over-salty and will cover up the natural taste of the meat. This product really does enhance the taste of the meat. I also gave my veggies a good shake and they were fantastic too.
