<p>Pork Steak with Creamy Comeback Slaw</p>
<p>Serves 4</p>
<p>Ingredients</p>
<p>Pork steak 4 pork steaks, 1/2 inch thick (about 6 to 8 ounces each) 1/4 cup dry rub (Ubons recommends their Barbeque Princess Dust) 3 cups Ubons barbecue sauce, warmed on the grill 1 cup Ubons Meat Marinade (see below)</p>
<p>Ubons Meat Marinade ingredients 1/2 cup soy sauce 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce Juice of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon chopped garlic</p>
<p>Directions</p>
<p>For the marinade: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.</p>
<p>For the pork steaks: Season pork steaks to taste with Barbeque Princess Dust and let rest at room temperature for 15 to 45 minutes.</p>
<p>Start the steaks on the cooler side of the grill.</p>
<p>While cooking, baste the steaks with Ubons Marinade using a barbecue mop or mister every 5 minutes, flipping before each baste.</p>
<p>After about 20 minutes on the grill (10 minutes per side), begin glazing the steaks with barbecue sauce.</p>
<p>To glaze, dip the steaks into the warmed sauce, return to the grill, and repeat 3 to 5 times, flipping and dipping every 4 to 5 minutes until cooked to desired doneness.</p>
<p>Creamy Comeback Slaw</p>
<p>Makes 6 to 8 servings</p>
<p>Ingredients 1 head cabbage, shredded 2/3 cup mayonnaise 2/3 cup Ubons barbecue sauce 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar Barbeque Princess Dust, to taste 2 tablespoons everything seasoning Salt and pepper, to taste</p>
<p>Directions</p>
<p>In a large mixing bowl, salt the shredded cabbage and pour in the apple cider vinegar. Let sit for about 20 minutes at room temperature.</p>
<p>Add equal portions of mayonnaise and barbecue sauce. Mix to combine.</p>
<p>Season with Barbeque Princess Dust.</p>
<p>Add everything seasoning to the cabbage and mix well.</p>
<p>Let sit before serving.</p>
<p>Serve with pork steaks.</p>
<p>Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.</p>
<p>Barbecue tips from Ubons chef Leslie:</p>
<p>- Don't add barbecue sauce too early -- its sugar content can cause burning.</p>
<p>- Use a spray bottle filled with apple juice or marinade to keep meat moist and flavorful.</p>
<p>- Pull meat off the grill slightly early to allow for carryover cooking and juicier results.</p>
<p>- Customize your barbecue rubs and sauces with flavors you already love. "Put good stuff with good stuff and you get good stuff."</p>
<p>- Don't forget the sides -- grilled veggies topped with herbs, goat cheese and balsamic can elevate any plate.</p>
<p>Buttermilk Brined Chicken Wings</p>
<p>Serves 4-6</p>
<p>Ingredients 5 pounds chicken wings</p>
<p>For the marinade 1 quart buttermilk 1 cup water 2 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon granulated onion 3 tablespoons granulated garlic 2 teaspoons Soul & Smoke Cajun Seasoning Blend 2 tablespoons ground thyme 1 tablespoon ground thyme 1/2 tablespoon ground allspice Soul & Smoke Original BBQ Sauce, for serving</p>
<p>Directions</p>
<p>Whisk all marinade ingredients in a large bowl until thoroughly combined. This amount will marinate up to 5 pounds of chicken wings.</p>
<p>Place wings in a plastic or glass container and pour marinade over them. Toss to coat, cover and refrigerate for 48 hours.</p>
<p>Do not marinate longer than 2 days or the meat will become too tender and start to break down.</p>
<p>Preheat the grill. Set up a two-zone fire: one high heat zone and one lower, indirect heat zone.</p>
<p>Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.</p>
<p>Remove wings from the marinade and pat them dry. Discard the marinade.</p>
<p>Grill the wings over indirect heat, turning every 5 to 7 minutes to ensure even cooking and render fat.</p>
<p>Once nearly done, move to the high heat zone to crisp the skin, grilling 3 to 5 minutes per side.</p>
<p>Wings are finished when meat starts pulling from the bone and internal temp reaches 165 F -- about 20 to 35 minutes total cook time.</p>
<p>Serve hot with Soul & Smoke Original BBQ Sauce.</p>
<p>Soul & Smoke tips:</p>
<p>- The 48-hour buttermilk marinade ensures juicy, flavorful wings.</p>
<p>- Use two-zone grilling to control heat -- start low and finish high for the perfect sear.</p>
<p>- Oil the grates, not the wings, to avoid flare-ups and help get beautiful grill marks.</p>
