Show Us What You're Cooking - Vol 19 - Fall 2020 part II

[HawkerXP]

2 days! I can't wait to see that cook!

[theroc]

Porter Road pork chops. Dry-brined, rubbed with Hank:s KC Royale and grilled over an apricot wood live fire on the Buckaroo.

[HouseHomey]

No sir. Not at all. Your posts always have a clean, healthy and well focused look to the pic and meal itself. Just me?? I think not. I would gladly pay for your food any day.

[theroc]

Thanks HouseHomey. I was just kidding with you. I aspire to cook like you.

[barelfly]

The buckaroo!!!

[jfmorris]

Bacon and eggs.... it's what's for breakfast! Or was 2 hours ago... it felt good to stand by the flat top on a cold December morning...

[tbob4]

I'm feeling guilty - I am cooking my breakfast inside today. I promise tomorrow

[tbob4]

You inspired me to fire up the Blackstone for hash tonight, thanks!

[jfmorris]

Jfrosty27 it was in the low to mid 30’s when I went out to make breakfast. Been upper 20’s overnight the past several days, but warming up as rain is rolling in tonight. High was 50ish today.

[Ernest]

Ahumadora oh that Meathead guy? Meh, he's alright...

[HouseHomey]

He’s gotta cool site though. And a real nice gasser. His stuffing muffins are darn great too!!

[Dewesq55]

For lunch - "McRib" Sandwich made with leftover SLC's taken off the bone. Red onion, dill pickle and a drizzle of sauce on a Portuguese roll. I still like the ones from Mickey D's, but this is pretty darn good.

[tbob4]

Looks great

[barelfly]

Oh yeah!!! I’m Lovin it!

[Stuey1515]

How dare you attach the name of an abomination with this fantastic looking creation sir!!

[JakeT]

Pork shoulder currently being tenderized...pre wrap photo opportunity. Updates to come!

[tbob4]

That is beautiful

[Thunder77]

First attempt at croissants for me and my daughter Clara. Aside from some shaping issues, we think that they came out pretty well!

[Dewesq55]

Those look excellent! What recipe did you use? Last year I started looking into doing croissants. Seems like a ton of work. But if I could get them to come out like those. . .!

[Thunder77]

Dewesq55, I used the recipe from Joy of Cooking. I was also leery of trying these for a long time. Although there a lot of steps, the recipe is not terribly difficult. I can PM you the recipe.

[Dewesq55]

Thunder77 - That would be great if you get a chance. No rush, though. Thanks!

[hdwwomcbb]

Simple slowy cooked, with a reverse sear, 2" NY Strip steaks with a blue cheese & chive butter topping, baked potatoes and salads. Was yummie.

[tbob4]

Those steaks have no banding at all and even through the sauce I can tell you nailed the outside. Great job and photography

[Thunder77]

I would be happy to sit at your table! 😎

[BFlynn]

Just a quick shrimp gumbo

[BFlynn]

Just medium grain white rice.

We buy Dougets. But others are fine

[Dewesq55]

SheilaAnn - We, just recently, have started using paper plates A LOT! It was Barbara's idea, but I'm starting to get into it. Since I'm the one who generally gets tasked with cleaning up the kitchen, especially during the pandemic since I'm not working, it makes for a little less work on that front.

[BourBonQ]

Action photo!

[tbob4]

Three days of beef ribs - finishing tonight with hash

[Panhead John]

Can’t believe you didn’t call me, that looks awesome! If you hear noises outside tonight, don’t freak out and call the cops. Probably just opossums.

[tbob4]

Panhead John - because they are marsupials, I suppose you are hiding in a pouch?

[Panhead John]

I try not to hide in marsupial’s pouches. Very smelly. I learned my lesson with that damn kangaroo.

[Richard Chrz]

Some prime NY strips gifted to my wife and I, add in the great seasoning sent to me by my SS, a pretty great meal, with some flame therapy.

[Richard Chrz]

Panhead John, I think he hides behind a fancy fire! He’s got nothing on your wisdom!

[Panhead John]

Richard Chrz .....My wisdom? That’s the funniest damn thing I’ve heard you say! 😂

[Thunder77]

Love that flame shot!

[barelfly]

When you have left over tri tip, black beans and rice......why not some loaded nachos! Topped with jalapeño, onion, avocado, queso fresco and my favorite green chile Salsa from Sadie’s!

[Richard Chrz]

Comfort food!

[tbob4]

Those photos look like an ocean of nachos. Man, I would swim in that!

[SheilaAnn]

💕💕💕

[jhapka]

Borracho beans with rancho gordo pintos served over pulled pork.

[tbob4]

That looks tremendous. What do you do on day two? The ideas for leftovers are really amazing.

[jhapka]

tbob4 day two is going to be the same thing because it was really delicious.

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

Not quite as good as Katzs pastrami Rueben, but still good. Wife forgot to buy Swiss cheese at the store today, but luckily I had some swiss I smoked up a few weeks ago (and she made up for it with a 6lb prime rib roast). The pastrami is mostly meatheads recipe, but I was out of peppercorns. Added extra ground black pepper for taste and sesame seeds for the missing texture.

[tbob4]

Since I have only seen photos of the restaurant's and yours, I vote for yours.

[Joetee]

My very best pork butt. I think I finally got it right.
smoke at 250°. No water pan. 12 1/2 hours.
Spritzed after the first 3 hours every hour with 50/50 red wine vinegar and water.
wrapped in foil when added to cooler.
Wasn't mushy or greasy.

SCOTT'S DRY PORK AND RIB RUB I slightly modified his original recipe.

1 cup dark brown sugar.
3 tablespoons paprika.
2 teaspoons Lawry's seasoning salt.
1 teaspoon kosher salt.
2 teaspoons garlic powder.
2 teaspoons black pepper.
2 teaspoons dried oregano.
1 teaspoon dried thyme.
1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder.
1 tablespoon chipotle meco chili powder.
1⁄2 teaspoon dry mustard.
Optional
1/2 teaspoon Cayanne pepper


Sides are my wife's green beans with bacon grease, mac and cheese from a box, and a smashed potato recipe I seen on tiktok. Boil small potatoes with salt until fork tender, put them in a bowl with olive oil and seasoning, put them on a shallow pan and smash with a glass to about 1/2 inch and bake at 425° turning half was through until they are a bit crispy.

Small potatoes, a bunch.
Boil with salt until fork tender.
Drain and put in large bowl.

Add olive oil
Salt
Pepper
Onion powder
Garlic powder
Basil
Thyme

Mix this all up.

Pour them on baking sheet.

Use a glass and smash them to about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake at 425° for about 20-25 minutes.
Turn over and continue to bake until crispy.

[tbob4]

If that ain’t right, I don’t know what is. List the sides. They look delicious, too.

[Richard Chrz]

Absolutely amazing looking pork! Thank you please!

[Panhead John]

Wow! You knocked a home run there! Looks fantastic!
