smoked a rib roast yesterday- wrapped in a foil and a towel, then the fridge with it's blanket still on it... will pull it out in a few and start carving.
real simple and fantastic hand foods for the game:
- 6~8# smoked rib eye roast to internal of 105*~110*.. pulled and wrapped.
- 100 flour tortillas of the 6~8" variety
- four or five bell peppers depending on size.
- couple sweet onions
- mozzarella cheese shredded, maybe a 1# bag to make it easy...
strip the peppers into 2" strips no wider than 1/8th inch... slice onions into slivers too- about same width... strip the rib eye into strips 2~4" and 1/4" or so wide.
fire up the griddle... a little bit of avocado oil... toss a pile of the rib eye, onions, and peppers on one side low heat, and douse it every so often with whatever spice you use (i use a bottle of soy sauce mixed with a bit of apple vinegar and hot sauce, touched with lemon juice, and it adds nice zest).. clear the other side of the griddle with a nice glaze of oil but no more, and at medium heat... start slapping the tortillas on the griddle 'big bubble' up (look at the face of the tortillas and you'll see one side has tiny bubbles the other big ones)... spread a little bit of cheese around the perimeter of the tortilla (a little goes a long way), and dress the interior with the onions/peppers on one side and beef on the other... fold it over itself, let it toast 30 seconds or so, and flip it over for another 30 seconds or so- use that minute to get the next two or three going.
i'll serve these in the little baskets with waxed paper liners, and offer sour cream and salsa for dipping.
it seems like a waste for a rib eye, but dang are they good... and, i picked the rib eye up for $40 regular price $105, so, it was actually cheaper than the sirloin i usually use for this trick.
other than the time in the smoker, the entire thing takes less than an hour and clean up is simple... but beware: folks will ask you for these from now on. and they're SO simple.
