Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends

My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE thing in the world to smoke is brisket, and these smoked brisket burnt ends are spot-on when it comes to deliciousness! Nobody likes a dry brisket, and in order for it to meet the criteria for success in my book, it has to be fall-apart tender. These brisket burnt ends are packed with an intense smoke flavor after cooking over wood for 15 hours. They are caramelized in a sweet, tangy Kansas City-style barbecue sauce.

Easy Grilled Marinated Flank Steak

When I am in the mood for some flavorful steak (which is always!) and I want it now, then I usually go for this easy grilled marinated flank steak. I let this flank steak sit in the marinade for almost 24 hours so it soaks up lots of flavors. The marinade gets its sweetness from the brown sugar, a touch of saltiness from the soy sauce, and a bite of spiciness thanks to the chili powder and red pepper flakes.
