Every March it happens. We have that first day of sun and mild temperatures and my mind starts to think – Big Green Egg time! But if you are like me, you were lazy and left your Egg in a sad state last fall. So before you get smoking, grilling and roasting, your Egg needs a good spring cleaning.

Yes, the Big Green Egg once again dazzled and won the hearts of dinner fans again this weekend. I went to the grocery store thinking nachos and I left with a pack of chicken wings. Crazy how the meat aisle and a mild day in March can get you to change your mind.
The outcome was simple. Season some wings, throw them in the smoker for a few hours and let the magic happen.
I don’t want to make it sounds like I’m Myron Mixon, but I make some of the tastiest wings going. Every time I serve them at a get together of friends, the talk of the party is not Canadian Politics, the weather or even what’s up with work, it is all about the spicy and savoury chicken.
Steak is a favourite at our house and ever since I have had a Big Green Egg, I feel like I can do the tasty meat the justice it deserves. It’s all about high heat and a short grill.
The other day, we celebrated another week of winning at parenting with two giant steaks.
Here is the Egg getting up to around 750 degrees F.
I first threw the steaks on the grill directly for 3o seconds a side to get some nice grill marks and really melt the salt and pepper seasoning into the crust.
Then I threw them into the blazing cast iron pan for a few minutes per side and that’s all it took. Two perfectly done steaks at medium rare.
