Basher Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Tonight I’ll spin a pork loin marinated in oak aged balsamic with white truffle.Then spiced with pepper- purple and black, garlic, chillie and paprika.Half an hour into the spin I’ll add the double bottom drip pan with spuds, onion and bacon.Not sure how this will go and the timing- maybe an hour with the 1 and 1/2 hour spin?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 The veges were a bit on the crispy side, maybe water base rather than oil next time..... but, that will compromise the crackle.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 2 low and slow cooks this long weekend here in the states. Today is a pork butt with a rub from Oakland Spice Shop, which we highly recommend...one of those businesses with a rabid local following who might not make it through the virus. Tomorrow is brisket, which I don't have much experience with and will be doing some research on these forums later today. Last brisket was mostly not great as brisket, but worked great as a stew the next day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I've noticed on brisket, the better grade of beef, the more I look like a chef genius. More so than any other cut. I like the looks of that black tile. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 If you haven't tried the Franklin method for brisket, I highly recommend it. The key is once you clear the stall, around 165 - 170F, wrap the brisket in pink butcher paper for the rest of the cook (IT = 203F), then wrap everything (yes, leave the brisket in the paper) in foil, a towel and toss into a cooler for at hour or so. Then unwrap and enjoy a nice, juicy brisket. I won't shuck out the bucks for Wagyu, but I will pay for Prime grade. The only deviation, is if you want to make burnt ends, separate the point from the flat before you put it in the foil; then wrap the flat per the above. The cube up the point, season (wet or dry or both), put into an open foil pan and put back on the KK for about another hour. Meat Candy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Another Friday night steak dinner in lockdown! A nice Denver steak from the local butcher. Seasoned with Gunpowder and Dizzy Pig Raising the Steaks. Started out on the half grate (direct), then dropped down to the lower grate for the final sear. Mesquite chunks. Plated with air fryer potato wedges (sprayed with duck fat) and creamed spinach with mushrooms. Chimichurri sauce on the steak. Wine is a TJ's Malbec. My dog, Kipper, waiting, not so patiently, for me to take the pictures and give him a treat! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troble Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Been prepping for this cook in my head fir months. Bought the meat Wednesday. Marinated it for two days. got the bone in leg of lamb even though my butcher told me I was crazy to do bone in on a rotisserie. I was very happy with the results. First time cooking a piece of lamb this big and let alone on the rotisserie. I may have slightly overcooked it but it the flavors were in point served with Mediterranean chickpea salad and homemade Tadziki Quite possibly the most fun/enjoyable cook of my life. Very happy with the first effort IMG_2572.MOV 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have/love the Franklin book, and will be rereading it tonight. Have the correct butcher paper, which I haven't used before. But, any excuse to spend a few bucks to add another tool to the arsenal, right? Agreed on good meat. We're lucky enough in life that this is now a given. This brisket is from Marin Sun Farms here in CA, but...they are 100% grass fed, which is a big Franklin No No working against me, I think (next time I'll be sure to go grain finished). Our weekly meat CSA is also grass only...sooooo...gonna have to source some grain finished brisket. Shouldn't be too hard, just not as easy during virus times. I'll report on the brisket tomorrow!

I've scored Prime grade full packers at CostCo before. I didn't look the last time I was in there, as I was just shopping for the Prime ribeyes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 Did something a little different for dinner last night - alder wood planked salmon. Dizzy Pig Raging River, white onion and tomato (dusted with lemon myrtle). Direct, main grate, 325F. Grape vine pieces for smoke. Plated with roasted broccoli and scallions, with a nice chermoula sauce. Hasselback dinner rolls with garlic and green onion tops. Wine is a nice Chardonnay/Viognier blend. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
