I tried my bottle of sauce to make a batch of burnt ends. They came out really good. Sorry, no pics as the brisket cook was totally off my planned schedule and I wasn't about to stand outside in 35F weather @ 6:30am to take pictures! I had put the whole brisket (prime grade) on the night before around 10pm @ 250F (Guru) and was expecting to get up in the morning to wrap the brisket in the pink butcher paper (IT = 170F), but when I got up to feed the dogs and let them out, I checked the temperature sensors and the brisket IT was already at 204F - YIKES!! So, I had to hurry and dress to get the brisket off and wrapped and into the cooler. I cut off the point and cut it into cubes for the burnt ends and used the Dragon Sauce - a good match. Burnt ends went back on the grill for another 90 minutes. Should have used a wider pan, as they ended up swimming in sauce and fat. Tasty, but not crunchy. The flat came out perfect - very tender and moist. I had injected it with Butcher's BBQ brisket injection and rubbed the outside with the coffee rub that Aussie sent me.

A couple of lessons learned on this one - prime cuts cook faster than choice (this brisket was done in 8 hours @ 250F!); and, use a bigger aluminum pan for the burnt ends so they can spread out more and not be swimming - more surface exposure to the dry heat.

That's really fast. My last wagyu brisket took about 18 hours at 225. Pre-trimming, it was about 15.4 lbs.

We cooked Bun Thit Nuong again tonight, absolutely love this meal in the warmer weather.

The meat is pork belly sliced and marinated in soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce, garlic and shallot.

Then to serve it’s a bed of vermicelli noodles, lettuce, cucumber, chilli with a home made Nuoc Cham sauce to go over the whole lot, this is one tasty dish that always marks the start of summer for me!

Wow, this dish looks incredible. I would like to try this one.

 

Thanks Steve, it’s a firm favourite of my Wife and I, it’s great for feeding large groups too and the prep is very simple.

 

Here’s the recipe I use, I use pork belly but you can also use shoulder too.

Make sure to make the Nuoc Cham dipping sauce to go with it, it adds such a great depth of flavour.

It was a beautiful fall day, so...it was a two sourdough kinda day.

Let’s start with a batard using fresh milled whole wheat, spelt, and rye in my KK23 steam oven. Here it is just after starting the steam.

And about 10 minutes later.

Just admiring the view.

And 45 minutes later, there be bread!

Crumb shot!

Also made a sourdough pizza using about 12% fresh milled whole wheat for flavor and texture. Yup, both sourdough and fresh milled in a pizza dough...it’s real, and it’s spectacular (Seinfeld reference).

On the Blackstone (hadn’t used it in forever).

Boom!
