No time for long cooks means I've been all about the wings lately. Cherry wood smoked finished two ways:

Korean Gochujang BBQ Sauce:
2 tblspns Gochujang
3 tblspns sugar
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tblspns soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Teriyaki Style:
2 tblspns soy sauce
4 tblspns brown sugar
1 tblspns minced ginger
1 garlic clove Finley minced
2 tblspns white vinegar
dash or sriracha

I'm in a Korean phase right now, I have a great market close by and it's awesome. Tomorrow night I'm making some japchae for SNF. I'll post that too.

Brisket point that was smoked last weekend. This is the portion of the point that is under the flat and very fatty. I fried it while it was still cold and then threw it into a pot with potatoes, carrots, water, and a little more seasoning. Used my fat separator on the final product.

[Mr. Bones]

Jerod Broussard Nice pic, sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!

[mgaretz]

A couple of recent cooks:

Tri-tip steak, cooked SV, then torch seared. This was my first time trying magic browning powder and I liked the result. Served with green beans in butter and salad.




Salmon, cooked SV then glazed with a honey-bourbon mix and torch seared. Served with steamed bok choy and salad.

[Jerod Broussard]

How long you sous vide the salmon?

[mgaretz]

About an hour because it was frozen. SV to 130F.

[Tim E]

Did you use the Searzall mgaretz?

[johnec00]

Rolled pork loin with boliche style filling, home grown sweet potato with herb butter and brussels sprouts.

[johnec00]

fzxdoc - The filling is 2 parts ham, 2 parts onion, 1 part dried chorizo sausage and a clove of garlic all chopped together then add a handful of cut-up green olives. Before rolling up, I dust with some gelatin to help hold it together for slicing. Be careful with the olives, they can overwhelm. I usually add some grated provolone, but forgot in the one shown here.

[fzxdoc]

Thanks, johnec00 , for the additional information. That filling sounds delicious!

Really nice roll job on that pork loin!

Did some experimenting today. Smoked 4 small salmon filets using Huskee 's method ( https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/fo...-smoked-salmon ). Also did one with no brown sugar, and one with raw unfiltered honey put on about 1/2 hr before completion.

Used a double 2X2 snake (thank you for THAT idea, ecowper ) in the WSM, with alder pellets.

We like Huskee's recipe best. Surprisingly, we liked the one with honey the least. Even the plain beat put the honeyed one.




The snake




The four on the left are a la Huskee's recipe. The plate on the right, the left one is just plain (rinse after brine and onto the smoker), and on the right is the one with honey.

While we have our order of preference, they are ALL great! Can't wait to taste them in the morning!

[ecowper]

Looks good! What did you think of how that snake burns in the WSM?

[Huskee]

Woo hoo!

[richinlbrg]

@ Ecowper , it worked like a charm! One lower vent open and the exhaust 1/2 open gave me a perfect target temp and clean smoke. Up I had a GREAT technique!

[bbqoaf]

A little Sunday night Japchae as per this recipe: http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/japchae

[fzxdoc]

Thanks for the quick answer, bbqoaf . I'm going to the Korean grocery tomorrow and will hopefully find those noodles.

[bbqoaf]

fzxdoc , I forgot to mention that I found the Japchae as per Maangchi's recipe a bit oily for my taste. You will notice the recipe calls for sesame oil in a few places and while the dish was delicious, it was really heavy. Next time I would probably reduce the sesame oil by about half.

[fzxdoc]

Thanks, bbqoaf . Turns out I couldn't locate the noodles, so will try another Asian market the next time I drive to our closest "big city". I've printed out your recommendations for this dish and will keep it in my Maangchi cookbook.

Tri-tip, cooked SV at 127F for 8 hours, dusted with magic browning powder then torch seared. This was an experimental version of MBP: 4 parts dextrose (corn sugar) to 1 part sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). I did this in an effort to reduce the amount of bicarbonate and I think it worked just as well. Served with from-scratch fries made in the air fryer and salad.

[fuzzydaddy]

Gorgeous!

[fzxdoc]

You are the tri-tip king, mgaretz !

[Thunder77]

Beautiful!

[slvance]

My first Tri-tip. Just followed Meathead direction in the book exactly. Served on french bread with home made chips. Very pleased with the results.

[slvance]

Thanks Jerod - made it on a gasser with a sear station.

[smokinfatties]

slvance what did you think of the tri tip? you like it?

[slvance]

smokinfatties it was exceptional... and I consider myself hard to please... and it was so damn easy....

[fzxdoc]

What a beauty of a cook, slvance . That tri-tip looks delicious. You could have fooled me that this was your first try at it.

mgaretz , how do you like your air fryer? Are the fries as tasty as double-frying them in oil?

Kathryn

[mgaretz]

I like the air fryer. I like the fries just as much as oil fried, but they are a bit different tasting because they don't have as much oil on the surface.

[fzxdoc]

Good to know, mgaretz . Thanks

fuzzydaddy, & Pit Club etal, Sunday's Bill of Fare in the Johnston House! I decided to make another go at Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin! Dry Brined -3 #’s Boneless Pork Loin with Kosher Salt, Garlic Powder and Jack Daniels Old No 7 Pork Rub and +24 Hrs in Refridgerator! Then Laced with Bacon and another Dusting of JD # 7 Pork Rub! Back in the Ref. until time to put on the Weber! Prepared the Weber, S 'n S, DidgiQ-2, and Maverick et 733! Lit one small Weber Starter with Coals poured the Lit Coals over +- 1/2 Starter Unlit Coals and Hickory an Apple Wood Chunks! This was the First Cook for the New Drip-n-Grill Pan by AdrenalineBBQCo, so I protected It with a round Cake Pan with Water! Cooked at 325* F for 2 3/4 Hrs? Just Prior to going on the Pork was Slathered with 50-50 Mix of Wish Bone Sweet & Spicey Honey Mustard Salad Dressing and Blue House Choice Hickory BBQ Sauce! This was the First Time that I had Problems with both the et 733 Maverick and the Thermopen Classic! One probe on the Maverick decided Not to Transmit? The Themopen was reading Low? Same Battery since I bought it in 2015 don't know if this would cause a Low Temp Reading! No real harm except The Loin was slightly Overdone!

Nice Dan!!

[Huskee]

Lookin' good! A low battery won't make your reading low, it might make your screen look dim or not light up at all.

[tbob4]

This is why I love BBQ and Amazing Ribs. Information sharing is fantastic. I made this recipe for stuffed pork tenderloins four times, previously. Each time the result was perfection. Yesterday, I replicated the recipe, with one exception. The pork was frozen first, thawed and then stuffed. The result was a fantastic photo and a great first taste. However, the texture was horrible. So I learned something about the freezing /thawing/stuffing of tenderloin. I have great results with other cuts frozen and brought back to life. Will not do this with pork tenderloin again. Stuffing was sausage, goat cheese, garlic, sage, thyme, salt, pepper, onion and apples.

[Breadhead]

Just dinner... A Weber kettle, SnS and a Maverick 735. A bernaise sauces. Homemade Ciabatta bread. Mmmm...😘
