BBQ with Franklin - Smoked Chateaubriand - Holiday Meal

[@rafaelg776]

Love how Aaron hasn't posted new videos in 6 years, pops up out of nowhere and still rockin the sideburns 🐐

[@gosman949]

you guys are behind. Aaron popped back up about Thanksgiving time! Did you not see the turkey he smoked!??

[@blanamaxima]

The man is a legend. The thought he puts in what he does is spectacular.

[@spiralout112]

@@gosman949 You mean the butter he smoked

[@gosman949]

@@spiralout112 that is a big negative!

[@bryannonya9769]

I guess you missed the turkey from a month ago.

[@BBQwithFranklin]

Happy Holidays y'all! I hope you enjoy this video -- I was thinking this would make for a great New Years Day feast -- but feel free to use it for a special holiday, anniversary or birthday celebration. I used a beef tenderloin, but you could try this technique with any large piece of meat that you would eat at medium rare. For the beef tenderloin, I smoked it first to an internal temp of 120-123 and then later grilled off right before serving. You could smoke it the day before, chill it down, and then temper and grill off another day. (Makes entertaining easier to be semi-prepped). Enjoy!

[@evanshively1294]

Definitely have to give this a try! I’m originally from Indiana, but following your guides I’ve been able to make Texans think I grew up here 😅 Happy Holidays BBQ GOAT!

[@ryne6309]

Merry Christmas to you and your family Aaron. You inspire many folks. Have a happy and healthy New Year.

[@giannibiz8269]

Good news I can made it the day before. I love the way you do things. I will try a piece of meet call tagliata. Happy new year from Italy!

[@alestrada7041]

Hey GOAT, please keep the videos coming. You went ghost for a years but glad you’re getting back on the tube. Hope to visit your restaurant one day. Happy Holidays!

[@JohnKim_24]

IM BACK. - AF

[@evanshively1294]

I can never get enough of Aaron. What a great Christmas present!

[@Pilotman28]

Wonder if Mrs. Franklin agrees with you.

[@xBananaTERROR]

That cross section is one of the most ridiculously good looking cuts I've ever seen in BBQ.

[@ThePiscui]

That pinky up when drinking beer from the can, such a classy guy. Please keep them videos coming, can never watch enough!

[@ThaiXLe]

Hell, it's not tea and crumpets. It's BBQ and local brew. In, out, up, down or beer can grip as long as you don't drop your brew. 😆

[@1kJae]

Man. He just explains everything in detail and wants everyone to learn . Definitely the best BBQ out here and his restaurant speaks for its self

[@philip8102]

Love that you’ve put some new content on KZbin. Hands down my favorite channel.

[@Wildernessoutside]

always a treat when Aaron uploads a new video even if its been 7 years since the last one ,looks amazing

[@AtanEngessa]

Glad you are back Aaron! Years ago I stumbled on this KZbin channel and I watched everything on it at least 5 times. And you are the reason I bought myself an offset smoker when all my friends bought a green egg. Haven't regretted it for a second.

[@mattson]

keep posting videos... easily some of the best content on youtube for bbq lovers

[@antoniotrevisan4152]

Thanks for this video. Is like a Christmas gift from Franklin.

[@YouGottaGoDown]

Thank you for posting new videos! I hope this is a sign of more to come. I've learned a ton watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your craft with us!

[@jmizer1]

My new favorite channel. TY Franklin.

[@autoleasetoday]

The World needs more of you!

[@Jasper118]

He is wildly entertaining and informative, love these videos

[@BBQwithFranklin]

Glad you think so!

[@saddleup66jg]

So happy to see you are back. Hope this is the first of many videos from you. You've been missed.

[@georgekot6377]

I just finished eating when this video popped up. Now I'm hungry again :) Keep the videos coming Aaron, we love them.

[@OrlinVasilev]

Hey welcome back!!! we missed you mate :)

[@scottyplug]

Such an incredible presenter and personality for this. What an amazing talent. I cannot wait to get to try his food. Would love to drink a beer (or 7!) with this guy.

[@chrisneuhaus7188]

So pleased to see a surprise for Christmas from you Aaron. My wife and I dropped everything we were doing, (watching Christmas movies🤭) to watch your video offering for the Holidays. Single digits here today and brutal wind chills so inside cooking only for this Christmas. Maybe for New Years, expecting 50ish temps. Now to find some beef tenderloin and black eyed peas in time. Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!🎄

[@David-burrito]

What a nice Doggie. And, always enjoy Aaron's light hearted approach to everything. Humor is always welcome.

[@RiverCityBBQ]

So glad to see you back on KZbin. Keep ‘em coming!

[@jimbrantley5319]

I now live in Portugal (originally from Virginia) and had not thought about black-eyed peas! They're on my shopping list now. Thanks, and Thanks for the video! I'm going to try that Chateaubriand as well. Welcome back!

[@nicolasveaco5395]

Smoked meat, Airstream trailer, and outdoor cooking! Throw in a grandkid and a dog or two and you’ve got heaven. Cheers and Happy New Year Aaron. Thanks for the video.

[@Jo3yy12]

So happy you’re making videos again! Please keep them coming

[@keithstehling3586]

Looking forward to my next semi-smoked BBQ - Thanks Aaron!

[@shanesouza4303]

Thanks, bunches, for that cut of beef recipe. I'll be trying that one soon. The black eyed peas was a bonus and basically my exact recipe. I have a habit of doing the peas in a crock pot. It's a great way to have long and slow cooked food on extremely busy days. Lastly, we think alike on the application of fire, choice of wood, and application of smoke. Happy Holidays 🤘😎✌️

[@stevewoloskowski3718]

We deeply need more inspiration like that Aaron, thank you and happy new year!

[@63Super59Deluxe]

So glad to see more vids from Aaron! Thx AF

[@MrCenizo22]

Loved to see Aaron making a video after many years. But to be honest I am more excited to get that beer he pulled out of the cooler!!!

[@hawkeyeted]

"Thermometer Collector." I snorted. 🤣

[@MortuaryManor]

This is the first holiday season in years I haven't been able to smoke a turkey Franklin Style due to my health. This is simple enough I think I can pull it off. Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄 and happy new years 🎉

[@MrSeanana]

So happy to see you back on the tubes!!!

[@boddysurfer]

Aaron, so good to see you back on KZbin. Your level of BBQ is above and beyond all others and I would encourage you to keep posting on a regular basis. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@BigAlsBBQ]

Fantastic video. Nice to see something a little different for New Years. Also lovin the whole setup with the airstream, lights and various pits, looks like a great place to hang out. Thank you Sir

[@benny79714]

Aaron is so humble, he doesn’t turn his own brand of charcoal towards the camera for product placement.

[@nathaneyears508]

I really liked this video because he goes into some great detail when explaining the methods. Keep the videos coming 👌🏼 Merry Christmas from Australia

[@Johnross27362]

I work for Toast in Florida and visited Austin this past November from all the recommendations from the sales team in Texas. Man that brisket was worth every minute in line!

[@danielmontalvo1984]

This is better than paying for the masterclass version! Thanks Aaron!

[@anthonymayne2528]

Let's GO! So glad to see you uploading!

[@egayaguilar1530]

Merry Christmas. Watching you from the Philippines, I learned how to smoke ribs from your channel and I would like to thank you for that. Cheers.

[@Nymesys]

Keep posting! Appreciate you bro.

[@masoncampos7043]

Looks delicious! Can't wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing 👍

Always a hoot and educational. Thanks!

[@dflenn9423]

Easy Peasy..pun intended! Looks easy and delicious.

[@victorbenner539]

Cured, you cured the meat. It's a wonderful technique. Why do sooo many folks have troubles saying cured. Maddening. Anyway I have both your books,love them both. Have a great day. Enjoy the holiday. 🎄🎅🎉🔥👍

[@Captain_Crayzay]

Glad you're back posting content!👍

[@tommychance5453]

Thanks to you sir, my mouth is watering now . The only thing missing for me is a crunch of black pepper here and there.

[@210pitmasterjoey]

You’re the legend!!!! Merry Christmas to you and you’re staff .

[@MrAlfredoloera]

Merry Christmas!! Thank you for the video. Glad to see your new content.

If only I could afford to make my own…I’ll settle for a Franklin BBQ video for Christmas. Thanks for the upload!

[@John-te3zd]

Merry Christmas Aaron, great video. Please start up and make more videos again

[@davidmoultry8275]

Happy Holidays to you and yours my brother! You truly inspire me. You are the reason my faith is strong in one day of owning my own business. I own your books and they are encouraging and pertain a lot of information to soak up. Thanks for sharing your craft! Hope to see more videos soon.

Franklin you are a literal god, thanks for existing and Merry Christmas!

[@karma201]

Great vid Franklin!

[@dwokie1]

Hey BBQ GOAT!! What did you do to get expelled to the camper in the backyard? My guess is the loin was inspired to get back into the big house! Love your vids!

[@trumpingtonfanhurst694]

Few things I love more'n black eye peas, thanx for da recipe

[@BillSimonet]

Welcome back!!! From Kyle, TX!!

[@justinauckland1698]

keep em coming!

[@pedrocruz4710]

Oh yes, Aaron does it again

[@narvul]

Great presentation as always, sir! I'm not too keen on beef filet because I like more bite to the meat. See where you're going to add the flavours. Like your blak eyed peas very much. They're a bit hard to get over here in the Netherlands but we have several great substitutes. Tomorrow it's rack of lamb for me.... jeeehhhh

[@sk8erdann01]

Now we wait for Brad and Matt to follow daddy Aaron. But I bet they don’t have that cool trailer in the background. Thanks Aaron, very inspiring to throw some oak in the ol’ fire box.

[@joegomez5807]

Great video. I wonder why he does not tie the meat? Looks great.

[@KenPurcell]

Glad to see Aaron back at the smoker.

[@madpup_downunder]

Thats looks amazing , i am going to have to try this for sure

[@nicksanchez6667]

What artist does that version of "Auld Lang Syne" (at 14:20)?

[@sundarpichai940]

When did you start uploading again? This is weird, but I love it!

[@vsaminat]

Love how simple and unpretentious the directions are !

[@sovbo101]

Merry Holiday. What a treat!

[@johnwakamatsu3391]

Fantastic cooking, have to order some brisket

[@ap13461]

Thank you for doing this video!

[@javiergodoyrendon401]

Deberías subir más videos, queremos aprender del mejor saludos desde Mexico feliz navidad

[@davidly8209]

Made your brisket, ribs and turkey. Now it’s Chateaubriand time!

[@GCRCFlyer]

That’s mighty fine……might have to do the same, thanks for taking the time to post the video 😀

[@rbnhood39]

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄. Damn that looks good.

[@XL5Master]

This guy is the coolest

[@stjamesnolan]

Excellent video as always. But a holiday recipe video drop at 2pm on Christmas Eve? I gotta jet out to the store now to have this ready to go tomorrow!

[@BBQwithFranklin]

The thought for me was for a New Years Day feast. Either way I hope you had a Merry Christmas.

[@derrickdiffenderfer4398]

What is the temp probe that he was using? It did not look like the standard ThermoWorks probes, it looked like the wire was covered or had a silicone cover on it, not a bare wire.
