    Tight grained Beef for Machine Slicing

    We're going on a few days of vacation and have a family member sitting our house/dog. Unfortunately, our old dog needs lots of meds, 5 pills to be exact, plus some prescription probiotics. That would not be a problem if it were a Labrador or other voracious eater. But, he's an English Pointer...

    Mesquite, its not just for BBQ

    A little off topic. Today I had the garage door open for a few hours and noticed a few bees flying in it. An hour later, my wife came home and said there was a swarm in the garage. I grabbed a couple handfuls of mesquite pieces and put them in a metal tray and lit them. Bees were gone quickly.

    Salmon Tacos

    was hungry in the early afternoon today, after taking the old English Pointer for a couple mile off-leash trek in our semi-wild park. I had smoked a salmon (steelhead, technically) filet a few days back and decided I'd like some tacos made with what we had left over in the fridge. First, I...

    Bbq Season is here

    Well, southern California has been drenched with rain for months. But the sun has been shining for a week or so and it seems to be warming up. While I have snuck in a grilled steak here and there, and that 'strami for St Patrick's day, not much barbecue has been going on for months at my...

    Turkey Stuffed Roulade or Turkey Roll Unstuffed - Moistness?

    So, this T-day, I deboned the breasts and cooked them separately from the dark meat. It was great. I did no other prep to them other than setting them in a tray to cook in the oven. But I keep thinking it could have been more moist. So I was looking at some stuffed roulade recipes. But it...

    Long bone Spares

    We were in Sam's Club yesterday and my wife requested full spare ribs. I trimmed some fat and loose ends. The meat trimmings, I wrapped in foil and put them on for the dog. The racks got my rub and went on heavy smoke at 180F for an hour and half. Then I cranked it to 350F for an hour, then...

    Beef Back Ribs - Single Rack

    I was in Costco the other day and picked up a single rack of beef back ribs. I was just kind of bored and wanted to bbq. I got them going a few hours ago. I figure they have a couple hours left for tender. I was going to wrap them now, but I'm feeling lazy and decided to run them neked to...

    Rib Dilemma

    I have a dilemma on how to make some BB ribs today. My wife's sis, husband and daughter have been at our house for a week, from back east. They head home tonight. The decision to go out for dinner lost out to me making ribs. The husband used to love my ribs from decades ago, that I seared on...

    Steaming Corned Beef Brisket Flat

    A little off topic, but related to all the corned beef threads recently. I put a half brisket flat in a Dutch Oven, raised up couple inches above the bottom with a rack and about an inch of water. I started it about 1/2 hour ago and the internal temperature is already 174F. The flat is...

    Japanese - Pushing the Envelop on Wagyu and Teppanyaki

    I bumped into this video and thought many of you might like to see what the big end of a dinner bill will get you in a Teppanyaki joint. So, the exchange rate on yen to USD is $8.20/1000 yen. 28 grams to the Oz. So that 300 gram/Y19350 steak is 10 oz/$158 USD...no veggies or drinks.

    This is why we have pellet grills

    I had a pork butt that needed cooking. I had no time to baby it...a meeting, broken sprinkler valve, dog needed walking, wife issued chore list.... I fired up my 700 to 225F, cut open the cryovac, quickly trimmed some fat, seasoned, and placed it on around mid afternoon. I don't know...

    Best Effort Brisket

    I'm not very experienced in brisket, having done only a couple dozen or less. But I've put in some effort to learn as much as I can over the years, including taking Harry Soo's class. I picked up a 19 lb prime packer at Costco for a decent price and either had to freeze it or cook it. Today...

    SRF Wagyu Corned Beef Round at Costco

    I was shuffling through Costco today and spotted this. It was all alone. At first I just rubbed my eyes and shook my head like my dog when he wakes up. Then I thought I'd take some pictures for you guys...then it struck me that St Patrick's day is around the corner. I looked up the price on...

    Flap Steak, Bavette d'Aloyau, Bistro Steak

    While at Wild Fork, I picked up a full Flap Meat cut. Tonight I trimmed it up and cut it into steaks and grilled one for me (bachelor night). I seasoned it well with a classic beef rub (S&P, garlic, onion powder, paprika) and grilled it on a very hot and close lump charcoal with smoldering...

    Ceramic Frying Pans

    I ran across these pans while searching for a better/safer non-stick pan. https://www.costco.com/.product.100732909.html We have a good selection of cast iron and one new French mild steel pan, and a premium laminated stainless steel pan. But for many cooking tasks we still use a few...
