We've assembled a tactical unit of our best summer recipes, guaranteed to make your next summer BBQ a legendary event. From explosive burgers to savory sides, get ready to deploy some serious flavor.

Main Firepower: Beef & Pork Dominance

The Mortar Wagyu Chuck Burger: Precision Strikes of Flavor

Forget your standard patty; "The Mortar" Wagyu Chuck Burger isn't just a meal, it's a strategic strike of gourmet flavor for your next backyard BBQ. This isn't about slapping any old ground beef on the grates. We're talking about the rich, marbled goodness of Wagyu chuck, seasoned to perfection to deliver a juicy, unforgettably best burger experience.

To construct this masterpiece, you'll need our Gunpowder Steak and Brisket Seasoning. This blend is engineered to enhance the natural richness of the Wagyu, delivering a robust flavor profile that will have everyone reaching for seconds. Pair it with your favorite toppings, but frankly, this burger stands on its own.

 

 

Grilled Pork Steaks: Unleash the Swine Superiority

Pork steaks are often overlooked, but not by us. These unsung heroes of the grill offer incredible versatility and absorb flavor like a sponge. Our Grilled Pork Steaks recipe transforms a simple cut into a tender, smoky triumph. The key? Low and slow cooking for maximum tenderness, followed by a finishing sear for that perfect crust.

For this mission, you'll want to deploy our Infidel Pork Rub. This isn't just a seasoning; it's your secret weapon for creating bark, depth, and that quintessential BBQ flavor on pork. Don't be shy; load up those steaks for a truly unforgettable experience.

 

 

 

Strategic Sides & Appetizers: Support the Main Assault

No successful operation runs on main courses alone. You need vital support units to complete the mission. These sides and appetizers are designed to complement your grilled meats and keep the troops satisfied at your next BBQ.

Easy Cowboy Butter: The Golden Standard of Flavor Enhancement

Every good meal needs a finishing touch, and our Easy Cowboy Butter is like adding precision-guided munitions to your plate. This versatile, flavor-packed butter is incredible on steaks, pork, chicken, or even slathered on grilled bread, making it a perfect addition to any backyard BBQ. It melts into every crevice, infusing your food with a rich, savory, and slightly garlicky goodness.

While not explicitly called out in the recipe, consider a dash of our Standard Issue Salt & Pepper in your Cowboy Butter for a fundamental flavor base. This simple addition can elevate the entire profile.

 

 

 

BBQ Elote Corn: South of the Border Bombardment

Take your corn-on-the-cob from sidekick to superstar with our BBQ Elote Corn recipe. Inspired by classic Mexican street corn, this dish combines smoky char from the grill with creamy, tangy, and spicy toppings. It's an explosion of flavor that contrasts perfectly with rich meats, making it the ideal side for any summer BBQ.

For that authentic kick, we recommend a generous dusting of our Claymore Cajun Seasoning. This seasoning brings the heat and the savory notes needed to make your elote truly unforgettable.

These are packed with a subtle, smoky heat that will surprise and delight. They're quick to make, easy to transport, and disappear faster than a smoke screen
