Troble

@Tyrus ive been eyeing this meat shop for months and now after a year of KK ownership I felt confident enough too cook a nice piece of meat like this, and with the arrival of my new KK I felt the occasion special enough, plus I closed the largest sale in my company’s history last week and since restaurants are closed for COVID I thought “why the F not?” It’s a perfect storm for me. About to fire up my KK and get to cooking

Looking good @Tyrus

Congratulations on the purchase @remi I also have a 32 and as @tekobo mentioned I do what she suggested. Hang grate on left indirect, reverse seared steaks and finish on lower grate right hand side over coals. One of my favorite features of my KK

@tekobo I have your box ready to try again this week. Stay tuned. It’s actually fairly easy to make. I used a oatmeal stout beer instead of the Peruvian beer called for @RokDokuoh can use some paprika on the potatoes instead of the aji panca, but the aji Amarillo flavor of Peruvian cooking so having some in the house opens up the entire works of Peruvian flavors

Yes the paste is to make the adobada sauce. That box contains everything you need to make the dish in this thread plus some extra stuff, but the primary driver of the box was this thread and recipe...hence why it’s all In here Find some tortillas, get a pork butt, go to page 1 of this thread watch the video. Make the adobada tacos. @tony b you can use the paste along with dried chilies to make an adobada sauce to be used on anything, chicken, beef, whatever floats your boat. The sauce is super versatile the hard part is sourcing the ingredients. Any recipe that calls for an adobo sauce will utilize what’s in that box

And here are my cuts. Just dusted them with pink Peruvian salt & fresh cracked black peppercorn. 2 filet mignon & a Pichana cut

This is a fairly simple and easy dish to make. I make this in batches of two chickens since I'm getting the rotisserie up and I save the extra chicken for a weekday meal. I also basted the chicken every 15 minutes after about the first 30 minutes Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa - Marinate overnight. Cook at 350 on rotisserie for 90 minutes, let rest 30 minutes before serving Ingredients 1 whole chicken giblets removed 1/4 cup plain vinegar 2 tablespoons ground ají panca chilli pepper 1/4 cup dark soy sauce 1/4 cup black beer such as Cusqueña Negra (optional) 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1/4 cup lime juice, from 2 limes 4 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped 1 tablespoon Peruvian pink salt 2 teaspoons paprika 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon cumin 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 tablespoon aji amarillo paste 1 diced aji amarillo (deseeded from jar) 2 teaspoons sugar Roasted Red Potatoes - bake 350 in covered pan for 45 minutes broil at 400 last 15 minutes Diced red potatoes Whole garlic head (diced) Peruvian pink salt Aji panca Diced sweet onion Peruvian Green Sauce - combine in food processor, refrigerate before serving Ingredients 3 whole jalapeño chiles, (If you want a spicier sauce leave the seeds in!) 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves 3 medium cloves garlic 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sour cream 2 teaspoons fresh juice from 1 lime 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar Peruivan pink salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

@tony b that is the plan sir. One night will be rainbow carrots with Cesar salad with roasted potatoes and truffle salt other night will be prosciutto wrapped asparagus, slow cooked sweet potato & Cesar salad looking at a Girgich cab & Girgich Zinfandel for the wind pairing

Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa with roasted red potatoes and Peruvian green sauce

@Tyrus good thing there’s just a small group of us here. The Picanha was cut into a thin steak. Will be interesting to cook. Hopefully I don’t screw them up

@Basher just planning on seasoning them with some salt and the cooking g it lower grate on my cast iron pan with butter the challenge has been the sides & wine. Looking forward to it. Will post pics of the meat and meal tomorrow

I finally went to the shop and pulled the trigger on 2 Japanese A5 filets as well as a Japanese A5 Picanha cut those will be cooked Sunday night & Monday night

Boneless leg of lamb. Marinated in balsamic vinegar with garlic, cumin & mint. Started on the rotisserie but finished on top grate. Cooked over coco char with mesquite wood served with garlic & olive oil cous cous along with roasted baby potatoes with garlic, thyme, rosemary, red onion and truffle salt homemade Tadziki with fresh dill grown from seed in my herb garden

@MacKenzie Tony’s always picture perfect. Nice work @tony b

Looks like a great start @SilverSuzieQue! Nice work

Cash is king. Congrats on the purchase

Inaugural cook on the new KK. Happened to be mother in laws birthday and also doing the burn in all day. Never really got it under 500 for the cook but managed to make it all work flat iron steak marinated in Worcester sauce, garlic and Montreal steak seasoning, reverse seared started on half grate finished on lower grate, over coffee char and mesquite wood. Served with homemade chimichuri grilled asparagus dusted with olive oil, garlic powder, salt & pepper slow baked sweet potato served with Labneh. Had to be served separately because even though I slow baked them in the oven for two hours like normal, these bad boy were gargantuan and took a little longer than normal, ended up being dessert to the main course. Served with a Justin cab

Hour 3 @ 550+ 2nd Pliney about to be cracked open....

@tony b definitely! Normally I’m up there every 4 weeks for work. This is my first trip in 12 months and the dates are locked in and not flexible cause we’re installing some top secret solar shingle (then uninstalling it so nobody sees it). I want to check out the product before it goes to UL so I gotta be there those dates otherwise I usually am flexible with travel

@tony bim likely going to be in Sonoma/Santa Rosa March 8-10 for work if that happens to be when you’re up there let me know we could meet an a nice Pinot winery outside for a glass.....

@tony bill send you more plinys anytime buddy just sat the word. I picked up 6 yesterday. Probably have two today

I have yet to use my cold smoker....Ashamed to admit it after a year

Yes it’s my favorite on potatoes

It’s the rotisserie motor. I use it all the time so never both removing it. Will be putting it on the new Kk today as I sit in the 65 degree sun, drinking a Pliny the Elder during my burn in

The older one is moving on to another pasture. I worked out a deal with my buddy who wanted a KK and love the pebbles and color. We picked that before I did our backyard so was able to get a new tile KK that matched a little better with the colors of the backyard. Win/win for everyone
