I have small family, 4 of us in total and Friday nights we have a family dinner, so add my mom and her husband. My nephew lives in town and I invite him every time. Sometimes he brings his best friend Joey and his girlfriend Dani. They are early 20s and good kids.
This particular Friday, I text my nephew about dinner tonight. He responds, "today is Joey's birthday, let me see what his plans are". Turns out Joey wants to bring his girlfriend to my house for dinner. I was both sad and honored. I dont know what Joey's home life is and I felt bad that he didnt have other plans with friends or family for his birthday. So I was grateful that he wanted to spend time with us. Sometimes I feel that this is how God works in our lives, I didnt want to question it. I was just going to feed these kids the best meal one could get.
Not only did we buy him an ice cream cake. I got him Prime Tri Tip from Costco cause Joey likes BEEF.
Meathead has convinced me that reverse sear is my favorite method of cooking only after I dry brined the meat. The roast wasnt very thick so I dry brined for 2 hours, then added some Holy Cow from bigpoppasmokers. Smoked it with local almond wood on my offset till the internal temp hit 105ish. I wrapped it and kept it warm for about an hour then fired up the ol trusty Weber with lump charcoal. Cooked it till about 135ish, wrapped and let it rest. Now Joey and Dani got there a little late, so the meat was held for about another hour and it seemed to keep cooking cause my finished looked more medium. Either way, the meat was so tender and flavorful that the kids couldnt believe how good it was and they were very grateful. Mission Accomplished.
To see a video of the Weber in action see below.
Not to be overlooked but I also reverse seared some 1" thick pork chops which were also incredible. see highlight pics of this wonderful meal below:
