Meet The Meat: Savings at Sam’s Club Giveaway

One of the ways that we like to save money at our house is to shop at Sam’s Club.  We do not buy everything there but there are some things that are guaranteed to cost less that we buy all the time like Gatorade, butter and our favorite protein bars.  Another reason we like to shop there is the quality of their products.  They have some of the best cakes in their bakery and their meat section and selection is gorgeous.  Being the cattle girl that I am, I know gorgeous meat when I see it.  All the meats are hand-cut by an in-house butcher and they carry every from loin chops to ribs to strip steak and filet mignon.  Buying the meat in larger quantities then dividing them up at home and freezing it really cuts the cost as well.

 
As hot as it gets in Texas in the Summer, I love to have Brett grill something for dinner.  It always tastes yummy and keeps me from having to heat up the kitchen by using the oven.  To help us get ready for grilling season, Sam’s Club is tempting our taste buds with its premium meat selection and sizzling backyard meal ideas inspired by pit master Troy Black, the Series Director of the Sam’s Club National BBQ Tour. 
 
Last week, I was sent a copy of Troy’s new BBQ cookbook, All Fired Up as well as a promotional item for this review. Troy’s cookbook is part of the Sam’s Club National BBQ Tour and is inspiring people like you and me to test our BBQ skills with the Meet Its Meat challenge.  We found a delicious sounding recipe for BBQ’d Pork Roast using a seasoning rub and homemade BBQ sauce.  We headed to Sam’s Club to pick out our meat and a few other items the recipe called for and Brett took the ‘Meet the Meat Challenge’ and went to work.


He mixed up the ingredients for the rub and let it set for a couple of hours then spread it over the beautiful roast to let it soak up the seasonings for 24 hours.

Meanwhile, he got to work on the BBQ sauce, dicing, sautéing and reducing the ingredients.  It made the entire house smell so good and my mouth was watering!

The next day, he got busy grilling.  Now we do not have any fancy, expensive grill so if we can do this, anyone with a grill and the ingredients can do it. ;)  When we got ready to set down for dinner, the meat looked and smelled divine.

With the first bite, I knew we had a winner.  It was so moist and tender and all five of us loved it.  He will certainly be making this again!  Now I need to see what else he can cook up from our cool new cookbook.

Troy Black has some great grilling tips:

  • When following quick-grilling recipes, if space allows, try and keep one side of the grill for indirect grilling.  That way, if you have a flare-up, you can easily move the food to the cooler side and avoid over-cooking or burning.
  • Resist the temptation to lift the lid during smoking to check meat before the recommended cooking time has elapsed; doing so allows heat and moisture to escape and adds to the cooking time.
  • Keep a spray bottle by your grill and fill it with apple juice, vinegar or other flavor enhancers to spritz on meat as it cooks for added flavor.

Now, I do not want to be the only one getting to enjoy all this yummy grilled goodness this summer so one of you get to win your very own copy of Troy Black’s new cookbook All Fired Up.  It  is a beautiful book with full color pictures  – the only kind of cookbook I buy!  It has 288 beautiful pages full of “smokin’ hot BBQ secrets from the South’s best pit masters!” We flipped through the whole book, checking out all of the yummy, mouth-watering recipes, finding fabulous tips on barbecuing, brining, grilling, smoking, and more.
