I cheat and buy corned beef briskets when they go on sale right after St. Pat's day. Rinse off their spices and coat with the coarse black pepper and coriander seeds.

I'd eat that!

The blend is called "Ras El Hanout" - which means "top of the shelf." The best spices that a shop sells. Typically contains a LOT of ingredients (up to 20-ish), including flower petals (roses, etc.) It's usually doesn't have the same heat level as a Berbere. Everyone has their own blend for it, so you might have to look around to find one that hits the mark for you. These folks might be a good start for you. https://www.amazon.com/Ras-El-Hanout-2-0-Oz/dp/B000FVCVS8/

A quick search discovers the reason for your "find" at the clearance shop - none of the 3 sauces are being made right now. Not available on their website nor on Amazon. 😪

That's one of the few rabbit holes on this site that I have successfully avoided!

@DennisLinkletter - I assume that you meant the knife and not the Seinfeld character! 🤣

You usually see it presented upright in a ring with those poofy chef's hats on the ends of the bones, typically stuffed with something in the middle. Crown Roast of Pork.

Way to go @MacKenzie !!

What a nice birthday dinner! YUM!

Bend test is the way to go!

Welcome to the Obsession! You're off to a great start!! It never gets old, btw!

Nailed it! Plus, the outcome is not as dependent on the time & temperature as we think. That's why we tell new folks DON'T CHASE THE TEMPERATURE! You just get frustrated trying to hit an exact target and in the end, it really doesn't matter that much. As the old saying goes, Close Enough for Government Work!

@remi - sorry for the accident, but glad that you're back in the KK saddle. Nice cook! @5698k - Robert, that steak looks PERFECT!

Nice to see you posting again, @Aussie Ora Lamb looks great!
