Around here they are expensive too, Fajita! I'll cook them with this stuff called Clauds Fajita maranade. http://www.claudessauces.com/ Amazing stuff.
Expensive here too. Usually around $6.99 or more a pound. I like to stock up when they're on sale.
I like to make my own marinades and sauces, especially BBQ sauce. I like knowing exactly whats in them, plus I never found a bottled BBQ sauce that I really like. Most are way too sweet.

Me too. I haven't bought a sauce or marinade in years. Making your own is not only easy, its fun and inexpensive. You may have to make a few batches to get it just right, but after that, you will be the envy of all your friends. Homemade sauces make great gifts, too!

I've dabbled in making a BBQ sause in high school and college. But then I ran across this stuff called stubbs. And I absolutely love it.

I didnt think it was possible to cut a skirt steak too thick. Its basically the diapragm of the cow and its as big as it is, no real trimming needed. I could be wrong though...

I always experiment with my BBQ sauces. Currently I have been on a kick using root beer as the base and adding stuff to it like cider vinegar, molasses and all sorts of spices. Never had 2 bathces turn out the same, but all were fantastic.

Mine depends on the mood, if I'm really BBQing (not on a gas grill) I'll usually go sweet. Get some brown sugar, some beer, cut up some peppers then apply it to whatever it is I'm smoking. Using Stubbs as a base. Other times I want a peppery flavor. So I'll go with a maranade, then a rub.
Gal Water
2 Cups Kosher Salt
4 TBS Black Pepper
1 TBS Dried Rosemary
1 TBS Thyme
Or some variation of that, it comes out pretty tasty.

for fish and shrimp, there's nothing like a good homemade teriyaki sauce:
1/2 c red wine
1/2 c soy sauce
1/4 c cooking oil
1-2 tbs sugar
2 tbs red wine vinegar
1/4 tsp mustard powder
3-4 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1-2 tbs hot chili sauce (optional)
simmer on stove while stirring to blend flavors, use as marinade and or dipping sauce.
i normally don't like teriyaki cuz it's usually to thick and sweet, but this stuff is "just right"...
as for steak...a nice top sirloin with a bit of oil and one of the Montreal seasonings is perfect. just shy of medium rare, please!
now i'm hungry!

If you don't like sweet, you will hate this stuff, but Sweet Baby Ray's is now my all-time favorite BBQ sauce...I have been using this stuff for several years...I used to use KC Masterpiece, but would have to add a bunch of stuff to it to make it just right...now, with this stuff, I add some beer (odd, I like beer in my BBQ sauce, but I don't drink at all???) and maybe some garlic powder or fresh chopped garlic.

actually, it's not necessarily sweet, but the KIND of sweet it is (if that makes sense). KC Masterpiece is a good basic BBQ sauce, but i agree...it need's "help".
i'll keep an eye out for Sweet baby Ray's...

I use Sweet Baby Rays in my baked (actually smoked) bean recipe. Good stuff, I just dont particularly like it on meat.
