Ended up coming out good for first time. The rack I poured tallow over deff helped mellow the taste a bit. Both were good. Next time I’m not going to 210 like meat church and see. It was real tender but not as juicey as I thought. My rest was 1 hour also but when I probed at 1 hour meat was 140-142 so that’s the cut temp they say.
Now that looks great :cheers:
 
Doing smoked meatloaf with bacon jam this weekend. The loads are chillin overnight and I’m making the jam now. It’s a coffee based bacon jam. D&$n good jam!!!View attachment 531760View attachment 531757
Funny I see a lot of competition chefs on tv doing jam and I have tried some at different restaurants but have not acquired a taste for it :cheers:
 
This past week we retired our 15 year old Kenmore grill. It had become difficult to find parts, and it had started rotting out in places. On Wednesday we took delivery of a new Char Broil Commercial grill, and on Thursday the old grill was hauled away. I plan to fire it up for the first time today. I have never used an infrared grill so I think I will have to relearn how to cook on the grill.

The ones I've seen were marketing mumbo jumbo. They had a thin metal plate of sorts between the flame and wire rack. It's really just cooking with indirect heat and you won't have flare ups.

BJs of all places had an all stainless Kenmore grill this summer. My Kenmores always held up great compared to the other brands, Weber included. I was thisclose to buying it with no immediate need knowing that I'll never find it the next time I need one.

There is a place near me that has a brisket burger and they have bacon jam on it with smoked ketchup. It’s really good. The one I made is not sweet. I mean it is but not much at all. I think that’s why I like it. I got the 1 loaf on now to see how long they take. Them tomorrow I’ll do the other. This one I’m messing around with. I love meat loaf in any form. My wife makes a killer turkey meatloaf with a light white sage gravy. Crazy good. The meatloaf isn’t dry either.

Skippy and I buy beef rib eyes (prime) from Snake River Farms and have discovered the reverse sear works great for us. The advantage is its easy to cook for a group all at once since you're not sitting over them the whole time. Note: the thicker the steaks the longer in the oven than the 45min to an hour... work off a thermometer.

1. Preheat your oven to 250°F.

2. Place your steaks on a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a rack. Season generously with salt and pepper.

3. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until an instant-read thermometer reads 125°F for medium rare. (Check them around the 40-minute mark first, as oven temperatures and steak thickness will vary.) Let rest 5 minutes.

4. In an EXTREMELY hot cast iron skillet or grill, cook steaks one minute per side, until a dark brown crust forms.

5. Let rest another 10 minutes, slice, and serve

When I reverse sear I only have my salt on the meat. Something about not adding pepper till you sear from the serious eats article. Their method is salt only. Then when ready to seat you add ur full seasoning of whatever and the type oil you want to use.

But yah reverse sear . . .

This is the way

Nice we going to New Orleans in 3 weeks for the jags game. We will be in Disney first week in December
 
Have I mentioned that it’s Hatch chile season? Got some beautiful fresh reds from the Fresh Chile Company and made a smooth enchilada sauce. Used that as the foundation for some traditional New Mexican stacked enchiladas, with Muenster cheese and topped off with an over easy egg. Muy Bueno!

I’m going to try a brisket this weekend with no wrap and do the foil goldee wrap hold in a warming drawer. So hopefully comes out good. I watched a bunch of videos. The one with mad scientist and jirby from goldees was really really good where they compare foil gold to butcher paper wrap and foil boat to finish was a really really good watch. I highly recommend it.

Enjoy the brisket cook! It’s still one of my favorite meats to smoke.
