Sunday's Smoke (with PrOn)

I made my first batch of moinks and ABTs on Sunday, along with some flank steak and bacon pinwheels.

I made the meatballs with 1 pound of hamburger, 1 egg, some breadcrumbs and some garlic. (I forgot the beef rub - but they turned out okay.)

I marinated the flank steak (1.3 pounder) in 1/4 cub olive oil, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, and a tablespoon of lemon juice, along with a little minced garlic.

The ABTs are just stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with 1/2 slice of bacon.

I smoked it all for about 2 hours at 250. The moinks and pinwheels could have come out of the smoker a little sooner (they were borderline dry - but a little sauced fixed them right up.) The ABTs should have stayed a little longer. But, all in all, it turned out pretty good for the first time.

Here are the moinks pre-cook:

And the ABTs pre-cook (this is my home-made JP holder: an old pie-pan and aluminum foil.)


And finally, the ABTs post-cook:


Thanks for looking! :-D

Lookin' good. Can you give more detail about the pinwheels? I've never heard of them.

I marinated the steak overnight, then cut the raw steak up into strips about 3/8 of an inch thick. (However, I think I will go a little thicker next time.) I laid out a strip of bacon, covered it with a strip of steak, then rolled it up and held it together with a couple of toothpicks. Mine were pretty basic - but tasty!

Use the google search at the bottom of the brethren page - and search for pinwheels. You'll get some more ideas.
