Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Plate or Tray
  • Tongs or Fork, etc.

Ingredients

  • 2 Packages of Artisanal Mission Hill Burnt Ends from the Exclusive Selection at Costco each bite crafted to perfection
  • Oil Spray optional for the air fryer, a fine mist of golden magic for a delightful crispiness

Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer:

  • If your air fryer requires preheating, set it to the recommended temperature. This is typically around 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Burnt Ends:

  • Take the Artisanal Mission Hill Burnt Ends from the Costco exclusive selection. Lay them out on a plate or tray.

Optional: Lightly Spray with Oil:

  • For an extra layer of crispiness, lightly spray the burnt ends with oil. This step is optional but can enhance the texture of the burnt ends.

Place in the Air Fryer Basket:

  • Arrange the burnt ends in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.

Air Fry to Perfection:

  • Set the air fryer to the recommended temperature for your burnt ends (around 375°F or 190°C). Cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the burnt ends are heated through and have developed a delicious crispy exterior.

Shake or Flip (Optional):

  • If desired, halfway through the cooking time, shake the air fryer basket or flip the burnt ends to ensure even cooking on all sides.

Check for Crispiness:

  • Keep an eye on the burnt ends to achieve your desired level of crispiness. Cooking times may vary depending on the air fryer model.

Serve Hot:

  • Once the burnt ends are perfectly crispy and heated through, carefully remove them from the air fryer.

Let Them Rest (Optional):

  • Allow the burnt ends to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows any residual heat to distribute evenly, ensuring a delightful eating experience.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Plate the Costco Burnt Ends, and savor each bite crafted to perfection. Whether enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal, these burnt ends are sure to be a flavorful treat.

Pair with Dipping Sauce (Optional):

  • Consider serving the burnt ends with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor. BBQ sauce, ranch, or a tangy aioli are popular choices.

Share the Delight:

  • Gather around and share the delight of these Artisanal Mission Hill Burnt Ends with friends and family. The crispy exterior and rich flavors make them a crowd-pleaser.

Notes

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when making how to cook Costco burnt ends:
– Make sure to preheat the smoker before adding the wood chips. This will ensure that the wood chips smoke properly and evenly.
– Use a higher fat content cut of beef for the best results. The fat content will help keep the beef cubes moist and flavorful.
– Brush the beef cubes with olive oil before brushing them with barbecue sauce. This will help the sauce stick to the beef cubes and give them an extra layer of flavor.
– Monitor the internal temperature of the beef cubes as they cook. The internal temperature should reach 200°F before you brush them with barbecue sauce.
– If you want to add extra flavor to the beef cubes, you can brush them with additional seasoning. This could include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, etc.
– Let the beef cubes cool slightly before serving. This will help ensure that they don’t fall apart when you try to serve them.
