    Treating myself for New Year's

    Well, it's only New Year's once a year, so I went to my favorite butcher. Bought myself 500 grams / 18 oz of Japanese A5 Wagyu (from the Gunma prefecture). I'm gonna cook it like I've done before: indirect heat with smoke. Then sear in a cast iron pan. Think it's gonna be a winner.

    I have just unwrapped it and applied the dry brine, so now it's back in the fridge until tomorrow.


    I've bought a cabernet from California, I hope it goes well together with the beef. It's a Black Stallion:

    Henrik you know how to roll. Here I thought my cab rib roast was gonna do nicely and you opt for A5 Waygu.

      Rib roast is always a winner in my book. And easier on the wallet :-)

      That's like protein porn. Just a fantasy for me.
      I'm doing chili in the CI Dutch Oven poppers and pigs in a blanket. Not even close. Enjoy!

        A tasty chili and pigs in a blanket is good stuff. I used to live in England for a few years, so I'm a big fan of the 'pigs'.

      Ok I started w 2 6 lb boneless. I may not make friends w this kind of honesty, but I tend to lose most fat when I cook. Beneficial fat stays, 3 lbs of kernel nasty ribeye fat goes. I don’t wanna cook it and I don’t want the waste on plates. My preference, guests seem to dig it. What’s left are caps (SD) and yet to be tied roasts/steaks. Little pile o’ scraps from the tail don’t suck either. $4.97/lb.

      RichieB Dewesq55 we’ll eat our peasant food. Who needs Waygu beef anyway ?????

          Thanks, you too! Yes, I guess I'm ahead of some. Where's my Concorde when I need it, so I can celebrate New Year's in several countries during the same day? :-)

          Unfortunately (or luckily for you) the Concord just got a little to old for paying passenger flight. We would rather see your pictures!

        What @Troutman said about the Black Stallion. Heck, a good cabernet pairs well with just about anything.
