This simple but elevated pizza is the perfect thing when you’re wondering what to do with leftover tri tip. Balsamic grilled onions, a sprinkle of gorgonzola, and lots of bubbling, piping-hot cheese pair perfectly with our new Honey Bar-B-Q Sauce.
Seventh-generation Colorado native Adam McKenzie created ThisJewCanQue in 2017 to share his love for and skill at grilling, smoking, and BBQing. With an intentional sense of irony (Adam is Jewish), his love of pork, beef, and all things outdoor cooking has evolved into a robust platform on which fellow BBQ aficionados have congregated. Adam has become known in his circle of influence for his Saturday morning meat-slicing videos, which have garnered many millions of views. Adam cooks from his suburban Denver home that he shares with his wife, Isabel, and their Goldendoodles, Halley and Maggie. As an elementary school STEM teacher, Adam loves the change of pace and focus that grilling provides in his time away from the classroom. Adam cooks on Traeger Grills and has a cookbook coming out in Spring 2021.
