Rib Eyes Last Night. Had no ambition for low and slow but wanted smoky flavored meat. Heartfelt thanks to Meathead for his sage wisdom and teaching us about the Reverse Sear. Haven't had to offer up any more prime cut burnt offerings to the gods of the grill since learning this technique!!!

[martybartram]

I know that's right, reverse sear has saved my steak inconsistencies

[LangInGibsonia]

Preach on!

[Ernest]

I saw these and I lost my mind!

[DWCowles]

Ernest I've always been told you got to have a mind before you lose it 😊

[Ernest]

DWCowles HAHAHA HAAAAAAAA!

[Breadhead]

They say the first thing to go is your memory.... I can't remember what the 2nd thing was.😡

I think it might be my Somtimers Disease kicking in again.🤔

Dinner last night was salmon filets. My wife likes hers plain, so I made hers sous vide to medium rare. Mine (pictured) was smoked to medium rare and glazed with honey-mustard-port sauce. Served with steamed and buttered Brussels Sprouts.

[martybartram]

Fire management skills tested tonight. Had a pork butt on at the same time. Busy busy busy so taking the easy way out with the write up tonight!

[Ernest]

Fired up Big Worm after a year long hiatus....

[Spinaker]

I wonder how the KBQ feels about that!!

[richinlbrg]

Hmmmm, just when I had started to feel good about my cooks. LOL

Looks fantastic! Glad to see you are enjoying being back home!

[Ernest]

KBQ is very comfortable at the top position.

[mgaretz]

Ribeye, cooked SV to 122F then seared with a torch and seasoned with Montreal Rub. Served with salad and white corn (which wasn't that good). Sorry I started eating before I remembered to snap a pic.

[martybartram]

Never apologize for eating steak! lol

[CarlP3]

Well said Martybartram...I wouldn't remember my camera if my steak looked that good either :-)

[JeffJ]

Grilled spaghetti!

The patties are 1 pound ground sirloin (90% lean) and 1 pound Bob Evans spicy sausage mixed together:



The patties then went into the cast iron wok and were broken up into small chunks.



The sauce was made in advance and added to the wok after the patties were all broken up.



The spaghetti was cooked al dente and after it was put into a colander and the water was shaken out I drizzled on some olive oil and tossed the noodles to coat them. This prevented the noodles from clumping and it also adds a hint of nuttiness to the final dish. The noodles were added to the wok after the sauce cooked for about 5 minutes and were mixed around until they were coated with the sauce.



When it was plated a grated on a little parmesano reggiano and sprinkled on some chopped basil from my youngest son's plant.



All 4 of us were very satisfied with the dish and after texting a couple of pics to my brother he demanded I make this over the 4th. I had to break it to him that I'll be smoking a 17 pound prime packer over the 4th. He wasn't happy about it - he LOVES spaghetti.

[Breadhead]

Sweet...👍 Very creative for sure. I guarantee you I'm going to copy that cook.😆👍

[CarlP3]

I must have died because that looks like a little slice of heaven!!!

[RonB]

MAN! What a great looking cook!

[Ernest]

Used WSM14.5 charcoal basket in the WSM22.5.

[JeffJ]

That's a clever way to conserve charcoal. Oh, and the ribs (both types) look good as well.

[Ernest]

Biscuits

[Spinaker]

Smoke ring much.........??

[KiloVolt89]

Just a quick flank steak after work on this great evening

[badf00d]

Looks amazing, and what a great photo!

[KiloVolt89]

Thank you!! was delicious. 0 leftovers is the greatest compliment of all

[mgaretz]

Ribs two ways again: LMR and char siu. Served with corn (this ear was better than last night's ear) and salad. In the latest video from Meathead (with ChefSteps) he was talking about how the meat should pull clean from the bone, but not fall off. So I had to post a picture of the bone. He would have been proud!

[Huskee]

Beautiful shots!

[martybartram]

Those ribs are enviable!

[bbqoaf]

Char Siu is a great marinade, do you smoke your CS ribs? I prefer them with no smoke.

[Ernest]

Sous vide sliders

[Breadhead]

Picture perfect as always Guest

Nice crusts on those patties.👍 they look deep fried kind of because the edges are as crusty as the top & bottom. How did you do that?

[Ernest]

Breadhead dunked them in hot oil for maybe about 30 seconds

[Jerod Broussard]

Beef back ribs. Little shaky. Hot bone conducting heat through the upper torso to the camera hand. Sticking to that story.

[Ernest]

That's good eats!

[Jerod Broussard]

Yep, I finally nailed some great back ribs. Never quite had them tender enough.

[RonB]

Congrats on finding the rbs you wanted.

[richinlbrg]

Smoked some BB ribs today. Apple wood in my WSM

[Spinaker]

Great color!

[richinlbrg]

This bunch didn't have much of a smoke ring, but some of the others had a GREAT smoke ring. Overall, they were good.

[Jerod Broussard]

Apple wood and pork go together like peas and carrots, or so a wise man once said.

The Cook: The Satisfy Samuel Chicken Wing Challenge DATE: June 11 June, 2016
PREPARATION & STEPS TAKEN: 24 wings and 12 drummies. Split the wings and sprinkled a heavy dose of Habanero Death Dust on half and Meathead's Memphis Dust on the other half. Sprinkled a heavy dose of Habanero Death Dust on the drummies. Refrigerate for 24 hours. Marinate the MMD wings for two hours in a combination of Moore's Teriyaki Marinade, Hoisin Sauce, and Soy Sauce. Chicken will go on the grill in batches. All wings go in the oven for 2 hours at 220. At the 60 minute mark, start charcoal. At the 90 minute mark put the drummies on the indirect side. Sear at 30 minutes mark.
TARGET TEMPERATURE: 325ish FUEL & SMOKE: Cowboy Lump Charcoal and lots of hickory

Time	Grate Temperature	Meat Temperature	Actions
5:15 pm	330		TV .5 BV .75
5:42	300		Seared drummies, pulled them off and added some coal for the next two batches and added hickory
6:22	302		Put the Teriyaki Hoisin wings on
6:40	322		Flipped and basted w/sauce
6:51	334		Pulled no sear required. Add HDD wings and basted them with Teriyaki Hoisin Sauce.
7:12	300		Flipped and basted heavily with DC Mumbo sauce.
7:20	320		Painted bottom of dish with DC Mumbo sauce. Pulled off the grill.
		Finishing & Serving:	Celery & Bleu Cheese
		Finished Product:	MMD wings were great (again) the sauce does not overpower the MMD. The MMD still comes through. The HDD were H O T! But full of flavor. These are not for the timid and were close to too hot for me. I could only eat 5. Two days ago college boy had BWW's hottest wings. He said they were good. He just got in (10:30pm) from a week at the beach so I am waiting for his review.
		Next Time:	Cut HDD in half for me.

I'm full and that stuff is mouth watering.

[David Parrish]

Nice cook!

[martybartram]

They were even better today, we opted to save the rest for Monday's lunch and do ribeyes and taters tonight. Sam said, 'they were good, better than last time."
