Nothing like a good BBQ in the middle of the winter, am I right us Northeners?

[@andrew6815]

Actually yes. It gets very hot where I live. I much prefer to bbq in the cold than when it's 115 degrees outside... that's F for our non "freedom" units friends

[@BreonNagy]

It's snowing outside right now

[@rossburg84]

Having such a warm winter here in Michigan, it doesn't even seem winter will come. 63 with rain

[@Phornax7]

It is presently 80° F here in Orlando, FL.

[@sheshd]

Way better in summer

Bought your cookbook, as the first cookbook from a contentcreator or similar. And it's amazing. Thanks to you living in Australia, and using the proper measurements (Metric), it's a blessing for a Swede to use. It was a bit scuffed from delivery, but I think we can blame the Dutch for that. All in all, a proper good cookbook that's already seen some recipes used. Massive thanks and merry christmas from Sweden Andy and team!

Var köpte du den? (Where did you buy it from?)

His webpage had it available in Europe 2 weeks ago, for a split second. Took roughly 2.5 weeks for delivery. :)@@DanAkaPharaoh

Been in the business for about 20 years and I'm currently exec chef at a fine dining Steakhouse and can confirm that your temperatures are correct. In the restaurant we intentionally undercook by just a hair in order to minimize recooks (bumping up a tad is way easier and more cost effective for the restaurant than to cook a new one) so we'll pull steaks off the grill around 110 to 115f for med rare, but that's with our safety margin built in. You're saying 50c which is 122f and after carryover cooking during the rest will come somewhere between 125 and 130f depending on the size of the steak. Perfect med rare. ACTUAL med rare. Not the cooking show nonsense where they say what temp they like to cook at and just call it med rare because that's what people want to hear

[@Ishika099]

Search: What In woods?…. Thanks me later 😊

[@TheAngelOfDeath01]

Oh yes! Because it has become so hot and dry here in Sweden, many of us aren't really keen on BBQ'ing on charcoal. But a gasgrill is certainly an idea! This video is excellent for me to learn how to do this!

[@bakingnanaskitchen4799]

Thank you for doing that Tri-Tip justice. I was raised in Santa Maria, CA the birth place of Tri-Tip BBQ where they are cooked over an open pit BBQ using red oak, low and slow. People over season them, over cook them, cook them too hot and then slice them wrong and wonder why their meat was so tough. Salt, pepper, garlic is all that is needed. Low and slow is the way to go. Slice against the grain. Delicious!

[@clankiller18]

Aw my husband family is from Santa Maria too best tri tip I ever had

[@Labrli]

Dude you are such a humble likable guy!!! Love your content!!

[@macfanguy]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I felt these videos were a bit long for every day, but they are starting to grow on me. And I appreciate the difference between you and babe. They both fit. For me, the sweet spot for these is this 10-15 tineframe.

[@audriusklimas3500]

I saw Your cookbok in the corner of Your kitchen.Ordered.Waiting for delivery.Greetings from Lithuania!

[@axdambient]

love your work chef. i know the corn is elote inspired, so for those who'd like to do it more like how they sell em on the street here in LA, you cover it with mayo, Parkay butter spread, a lot of powdered cotija cheese (it is probably hard to find this in places like Aussie/NZ so use that powdered parmesan cheap stuff) and then tajin or their own mix of spices (chili powder/cayenne with annato and paprika is pretty common). then the lime but a lot of people dont like lime on corn. chef's version looked very good and probably healthier for you lol

[@poesaste]

This was epic. Will be using these tips. Thank you, Andy!

[@sheshd]

Andy your oven roast chicken has been my go to for midweek dinners but im so keen to try the perri perri buttefly bbq chicken. Legend!

Did the peri peri chicken for christmas can confirm its great. Turned out way better than expected

[@Sharky762]

Extra thumbs up for the Oliebollen recipe in your book

[@andyp90210]

Hi And. Top additional tip for you… when flipping the bird in the Barbie, simply use a pizza peel (don’t be shy with it) and it’ll lift off the grates perfectly. You can then use you tongs to place it back on. 👍

[@nikman2]

Love Andy he is the best food always looks great!

thank Andy for this video🎉❤

[@melissaphillis7247]

Scrumptious, Andy!

[@andrewsema359]

Nice ideas .Thanks Andy.

[@CarlosRodriguez-dd4sb]

Terrific, envy inducing video (winter up here!). Tri-Tip is popular throughout the US, but was a California cut early on. The one you have is generous - THICK the whole length. The ones here tend to taper down quite a bit, so you end up with a range of doneness - which is good if you have different guests. Loving the Back of House channel, more folks should head over.

I really like the pineapple with ricotta. Also, thanks to me sussing out the bbq you were using I've finally found a nice little portable natural gas bbq I've been searching high and low for. Kudos Chef Andy ta muchly.😁

[@thekiwinomad]

Great video. I've been wanting to get into bbq once I can save up enough money for one. I know that my personal favourite for steaks is either rump or porterhouse (sirloin)

[@claireb5083]

[@Daz555Daz]

For corn with the leaves on I just soak them in water as they are for about 10 mins and then chuck them onto an indirect heat area of the BBQ and let them slowly roast/steam for as long as needed. Peel them after they are cooked. Lovely and juicy every time.

[@hiitsme821]

Exactly what I was looking for and exactly at the right time

[@luscus9754]

I just ordered your book. Love the channel and recipes.

For an Argentinian its a crime a gas grill but i respect you a lot Andy, i couldnt believe i wasnt suscribe, sorry for that. I wish one day you do a video of Argentinian asado.

[@GringoLoco1]

I thought my grill deck was great with views of 3 volcanos but yours is MORE cool 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mitchellfreeman7010]

It’s not a marinade, it’s a glaze. Yes chef. 😂

[@nancyleitner6396]

The tri tip roast we have in Arizona is shaped like a boomerang and each half has a different grain pattern. We grill at 350 degrees, turning every 15 minutes until it reaches 125 degrees internal. About 45 minutes.

[@myloflex]

love the corn on the grille...try having that with vietnamese scallion oil on grilled corn. so delicious! in my trials tri tip and picana take forever to bbq lol

[@The_Dork_Lard]

I do some amazingly good thick spareribs on my Weber Pulse 1000 (YES an electric grill) and the secret is brining for 24 hours and then about 6 hours on low temperature (125°C-130°C) with an aluminum pan with some good apple juice and liquid smoke producing steam. Get it up to boiling before you put on the grill and midway you have to refill it and get the steam going again. Absolutely marvelous! 👍

[@StrobeFireStudios]

That sounds bloody amazing!

[@The_Dork_Lard]

@@StrobeFireStudios it is and thanks to the steam you get a really good bark on it; first times I just put the pan in with out heating first and the results where good but not as good as if you heat it up first!

Andrew a pro Tip for doing the Steaks(standing them up) is using a Rib Stand, makes it so much easier than trying to lean them against each other.

[@nickmartin812]

He is a pro and probably doesn't require your tips.

[@Micko350]

You must be new around these parts Fanboi! You might've noticed both his BBQ's are shiny & new? Luckily, Andy isn't a Flog like yourself (who thinks they know everything) & pick up a few tricks & tips here & there! ps: my tip was for everyone to use(who might struggle to stand Steaks up to render fat) now please make sure that you wear a condom(or swallow, or both)😀

[@jadeoshea1802]

Woooooo hooooo summer !!!!!!

[@Jack-dv6ke]

That corn is almost elote esque, looks fire

Love watching your shows keep up the great 👍🏾 work food looks yummy 🤤

[@amcconnell6730]

My Dad used to do the beef skewers (Shashliks), but cut the beef and sat it in the marinade overnight before making up the skewers ... and in addition cut hotdog (frankfurters) sections and pinapple wrapped in bacon. So if you think pinapple & bacon on pizza is controversial, then try the same on the barbecue. :D

[@krispykruzer]

I would highly recommend grilling more than you need veggies on your barbie, there’s nothing like charred veggies in a warm salad

[@rayhunapo9154]

Always love a barbie can’t forget the T sauce and the fresh white bread mate oh and the onions

I Kenji Lopez alt with his serious eats websites claims that when it comes to steaks people actually prefer a more cooked steak than what their eyes perceive. So medium, when it comes to good steaks, is probably my more preferred

[@chilliinsanity6898]

Guga might get views, but garlic powder burns quickly, turning bitter. This can work (if that's what you like), but any chef would know to keep from adding it at the start when slow-cooking beef.

[@eleventeenass]

That hot honey was made at my plant!

[@padders1068]

Andy, Chef, Legend! Great ideas for the BBQ, sadly it's full on onset of winter, cold wet and windy here in the UK, but making a mental note for next summer when it's BBQ season. Using my charcoal BBQ is the best way I can cook steaks. I like to marinade them in olive oil, salt. fresh basil and chopped garlic before cooking. It works for me and I can get far tastier and more delicious steaks than I ever can in my kitchen. Just my thoughts, polite constructive criticism welcomed! Peace and ❤ to you and all of the team!

[@szymonmaraszewski1514]

Try some anchovie butter on your steaks or fish. Delicious!

[@padders1068]

@@szymonmaraszewski1514 Thanks for the idea, I'll make a note to try that, I ❤ anchovies! An idea for you inspired by Tapas I had in Spain, a slice of crusty baguette, some sliced tomato, topped with tinned tuna, an anchovy or two and a drizzle of the oil from the anchovy tin. Absolutely delicious, if not a little messy to eat 😂🙂😋

[@tititichirca8250]

Last time I done CPR to my chicken, it came back to life, ran away, and i ended up starving 😂
