Leftovers ... but don't feel too bad for me, I'm talking USDA Prime beef tenderloin. It was SV'd then frozen in the vac bag on Christmas day. The other tenderloin wasn't so lucky ... vac sealed, SV'd, seasoned, seared, and eaten on Christmas. Today's leftover tenderloin (technically prepped last night) was taken out of the freezer and moved straight into the SV bath for 2 hours at the original cooking temp (133F) then removed from the SV bath, taken out of the bag, dried, seasoned, and seared using my new favorite foul-weather searing tool, the SearzAll torch.

Results follow:

(WARNING: In the video, keep your eyes strictly on the torch and on the steak. Pay no attention to the homeless-looking character wielding the torch. I had no idea that my wife was planning to shoot a video or I'd have fixed my hair or something )

[Mr. Bones]

Awesome, Brother!

[jecucolo]

Great video you almost smiled! Just kidding! Nice to see you in action!

[Troutman]

My wife doesn't let me play with fire in the house, but I'll bet if I fed her some of that epic steak she'd change her mind !!!

Burgers tonight. Simple cook but have not done them for a while. Probably try the no flip burger in the Grilla, but will also likely use the flat side of the grill grates in case I don’t like the look of the no flip.

Chili con Carne. Don Henley Texas style recipe. No beans! Has been a New Years Day tradition for years.

What is it?

Don't know yet.


When is it?

Well, it's currently 24 degrees outside and it's only going to get colder so I'm guessing that 2019's first outdoor cook might happen in late April or early May.
