What’s better than coming home to a nice air conditioned house after wandering the scorching hot desert all day rounding up strays? Nothing. Eventually though, you will become hungry and that’s where Maple Planked Red Stag makes your day 100x better. The hot sun beating down on you all day can sure make for a long and weary venture. A nice meal at the end of this heat trap is really what kept me going.

Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2

Chef's Tip

For best tasting meal make sure you run around on a horse all day or equivalent.

They don’t tell you this in the movies but staring at would be steak all day really makes you hungry.

Directions:

  1. Soak Maple planks in hot water for at least 15 minutes..
  2. Preheat grill to 350°F.
  3. Season red Stag back straps with salt & pepper.
  4. Place on planks and add to the grill for 12-17 minutes or until cooked to your liking. This cut will get tougher the more it is cooked.
  5. Boil brussel sprouts and halve them before putting on plank with crushed garlic and salt & pepper. Grill for 10-15 minutes.
  6. When done, remove from grill and eat as fast as you can to grab any of the leftovers before someone else gets the same idea.
  7. Enjoy!
