    Pork Belly done using Meathead’s Banh Mi recipe, antelope filet and quail legs (semi-boneless) ….. antelope and quail from Broken Arrow Ranch in Texas ….plus salad

    Cooked the pork belly using Meathead’s recipe

    Seasoned the antelope and quail with salt and pepper and then seasoned the grill grates with avocado oil (stands up to high heat, has a pretty neutral flavor)

    Pork belly has been smoked for 2 hours, now going into glaze

    I cooked the antelope filets for about 12 minutes, total, over indirect heat … the quail was about 8 minutes over direct heat …. Both came out great

    Had a green salad and a nice Chianti with it. But the meat was definitely the star of the show.

      Troutman I've been wanting to expand the things I cook on the grill ..... this was an interesting challenge with the long, slow cook for the pork belly, then get the quail and antelope done really fast. Those pork belly pieces done that way are really good. Thanks for the kudos!

      That looks great. I need to try that pork belly recipe. Not sure about the antelope...but I’d try it. I’m most definitely not a fan of venison. But, like I said, I’d try it for sure.

      surfdog the Texas Antelope was milder than venison, if that is helpful. I thought it was more like grass fed beef, elk, or caribou. Or even like a good bison steak.

      As far as the pork belly …. It’s divine. I’ve done it twice now and think it’s a fantastic way to do pork belly. Try it for sure. No need to do the whole sammich thing.

    Thick pork chops, new potatoes, salted watermelon with tagine, grilled asparagus and harissa mayonnaise.

      Excellent mastery of plating, as usual !!!!

    "Harrison Ford" pork chops. During my culinary school internship, I worked in Jackson, WY. Mr. Ford has a ranch nearby and came in for dinner. Not only did I get to cook his entree (I was working sauté that night), my chef let me do table visits. Mr. Ford is a kind, sweet man. I got to shake his hand and he said he loved his meal! (Fan girl squeal).

    seared pork chops with sautéed kale, tomatoes, garlic and caraway seeds. Sounds odd, but dang, it works. Usually served over pasta, but we had steamed arties prior and I got lazy. finished with grated/shaved pecorino Romano.

      Sooooo, a sausage fest then..? LOL
      Hope you invited friends because looking at that plate...you’ve got a long way to go.

    Caught a deal on a Porterhouse, so I whipped out the Sous vide, 129F for about 2 hours, then seared on my CI skillet. Made some eggplant and grabbed a piece of baguette to sop up the juices. I didn’t get the greatest sear, mainly because I wasn’t willing to set of the smoke alarms, but it was pretty good.

      Sunday morning brunch: Biscuits and sausage gravy. Biscuits and homemade whipped cream for strawberry shortcake (yes, the same biscuits worked wonderfully in both the savory and sweet arena). Accompanied with eggs, fruit, bacon, hot sausage. My biscuits have been in work for a bit (struggling with both recipe and execution), but these came out tastyyyyyy. Click image for larger version

        Mouth watering! I love a good homemade breakfast

      First attempt at vortex wings on the Smokey Joe. They were passable, but I overcooked them a bit. As you can see from the picture, I could only fit 12 sections on the grill around the Vortex Mini. They were good sized so it was enough for the 2 of us. I tried a Malcom Reed recipe which utilized a cornstarch and rub coating. I think the cornstarch started to burn at the end. Next time I will omit it. Also next time, I will not cook them quite as long. These cooked for an hour and some of the sections were getting a little dry. I also made a hot sauce from the Malcom recipe and it was really good. So, all in all, we enjoyed our meal. Oh, yeah, the wood chunk was cherry. I was concerned it produce overly smokey food since it was pretty big, but the smoke flavor was fine for us.

        They sure look good to me! I’d eat that. I might be wrong but from what I’ve read some people add the cornstarch to help with crispy skin? If that was the reason for adding it, I don’t think you need it with the vortex. I dry my wings with paper towels real good before adding the rub. Drying the wings and the vortex helps get crispy skin without adding cornstarch. Just my opinion though. Good job on the cook.

        The last time I did wings with a poortex on a 22" it took 30 minutes. They were big ones like those there.

      Saturday we had a going away party for a friend moving to Arizona. I discovered this mascarpone, sausage, jalapeno, honey pizza that is to die for. We also made a bunch of pepperoni and margarita pizzas. The ribs were gone before photos could be taken.

      Last night for me n the Mrs. I did a front sear, smoke at 250, then sous vide at 130 to hold while we cleaned up the backyard. First time trying tri tip like that and it was pretty good!

      I had a slab of pork belly left over from burnt ends a while back so I decided it should become bacon. The finished product was outstanding.

        My wife went to a local swap meet and found some really nice old copper backed stainless cookware for next to nothing. I cleaned up the tarnishing and utilized them in this week's cook. They really worked great. Before I show that, I started by slow smoking the last of my Iberico pork ribs. Used Heath Riles' Honey Chipotle rub and glazed them with some Charred Peach Bourbon sauce for a sweet finish. Here they are just prior to wrapping, only took about 2 hours nekkid, 1 hour wrapped and 15-20 minutes to set the glaze....

        I know it sounds cliché, but I don't think I've ever had ribs any better than these. The rich unctuousness of the Spanish pork with the sweet heat of the rub and glaze were a perfect match. If you get the chance to source some, try these Iberico ribs they truly are amazing.

        Back to the new copper cookware I did a smoked cauliflower and some scallop potatoes as accompaniments.

It's a ribeye steak cooked on my Original PK Grill reverse sear style and cooked to 128⁰F. I dry brined it first on one side kosher salt and the other side with pink Himalayan salt.

          Well, Sunday morning rolled around, and I had not done any cooking to speak of. Digging into the deep freeze, I found a package of beef osso buco from Porter Road, and put it out to thaw, and cooked following their recipe for this traditional Italian dish. I didn't have time to make polenta, so went with mashed potatoes.

          This was also a good cook to utilize my new Misen dutch oven, since you brown, simmer and then braise in the oven for 3 hours all in one pot for this recipe. Using the dutch oven was also a way to stay inside and out of the 90 degree heat on a lazy Sunday afternoon...

          If you want to do this for presentation, you probably need to use twine to tie each piece of meat together. This fell apart, which was just as good in my book.

          SWMBO told me she had no idea what she was eating, but that it was VERY good. That's what we strive for, isn't it!

          Now if I could just fine this cut of meat in the local grocery stores... versus having to order online.

            Panhead John and anyone else interested - this is what was in it:

            This low and slow braise from Laura makes Osso Buco an incredibly approachable dish for cooks of all skill levels. Osso Buco is cut from the beef's leg, which means there's a bit of a tradeoff — the meat is naturally tough from constant use, but also features an exceptionally deep and beefy flavor. With the right recipe, and a few hours of patience, this cut is insanely delicious. Our friend Laura, of Cook at Home Mom, created this easy recipe to guide you through the process of turning this slightly intimidating cut into a fantastic meal.  This recipe is gluten-free.  Dutch Oven Beef Osso Buco Ingredients 2 lbs Beef Osso Buco 1 Tbsp Butter 2 Tbsp Olive Oil 2 Cloves Garlic, Minced 1/2 Onion, Diced 2 Medium Carrots, Diced 1 Cup Beef Stock 1/2 Cup White Wine 14 oz. Can of Diced Tomatoes 1 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Black Pepper 1/4 tsp Dried Thyme 1/8 tsp Dried Rosemary 1/8 tsp Oregano  Parsley, Chopped for Garnish   Directions Step 1 Preheat oven to 325°F. Pat the beef dry and season with salt and pepper. If you'd like to serve your Osso Buco whole, you can tie kitchen twine around each cut.  Step 2 Heat oil and butter in a 6 quart or similar sized dutch oven on the stove over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides, until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.  Step 3  Add carrots and onions to the dutch oven, and sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes, add garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute. Step 4 Add the wine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add tomatoes, beef stock, beef, and herbs, and bring to a simmer. Cover and transfer to the oven to cook for 3 hours.  Step 5 Serve over polenta or mashed potatoes, garnished with fresh parsley. Shop Osso Buco  


            I even had bought the stuff to make polenta, but had to go to a meeting at church the last hour or so of the time in the oven, and did not think polenta (basically, creamy grits) would hold as well as mashed potatoes, so I made the potatoes in advance, and reheated them with the science oven when I got back to pull the Osso Buco out of the oven and plate it.

            And another comment - pretty pleased with this new dutch oven. While it looks like it baked on a bunch of stuff that might be hard to clean off, it all wiped right off very easily.
