Everyday Misc Cooking Photos w/ details

Recommended Posts

I was happy with our Tuesday evening meal. KK came through... Wagyu strip steak, asparagus(sorry, I keep posting pics of asparagus, but it's in season - along with broccoli and cauliflower, but somehow only the asparagus is getting posted...and yes, we like it charred), shiitake mushrooms sauteed with ghee, garlic and good sherry, and not shown baby carrots. I did the two level cook for the steak and was well pleased with that - I'm getting more comfortable with that method. Okay, I'll confess, I also sous vide a little lobster tail for myself with Joule, as wifey doesn't like lobster!  Seared it on the fire afterwards with the steak. Shockingly, everything timed out perfectly.

Really good to see your tasty steak results.  I am cooking a birthday dinner for friends this weekend and am looking to try this method too.  As for your wife not liking lobster - bonus! None of the silly guilt about needing to give the other person the ever so slightly bigger piece.  :smt088

Ha! So true! :-P All mine, all mine!   I make my wife crazy always trying to give her that "ever so slightly bigger piece"! Not so with most seafood...

image.jpeg.a47ec2b294b167521241b29b1c58a9a0.jpegThis is the cut you are looking for, otherwise known as the spinalis dorsi. It's become so popular due to the fact that our cattle are getting larger,and the ribeye is growing in size as well. 30 years ago a common guide for buying prime rib in my shop was buying a 2 rib roast to serve 4 people, weighing in at about 4 pounds. That same 2 ribber is now tipping the scales at 6, sometimes up to 8 lbs. As a result, in restaurants, it's really difficult to portion a nice thick ribeye for one person at a reasonable price, so the seam butchery begins, taking that delicious ribeye cap and rolling it into a cylinder, tieing in intervals and slicing it for broiling/grilling. The cap that you bought was indeed the outer cap of the prime rib and will never get tender even if you were to marinate it in muriatic acid!
