Re: Official 2017 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

Work shmurk! :)

An hour later at 202 and 203, still not fork tender. Oh yeah, no worries, it's not coming outta there until it is fork tender. I don't care what temp it is. I hosed up my cyberQ controller and had it set to hold at 195 meat temp so my smoker temp dropped from three hundy to 220. Doh! Fixed that it's ramping back up again.

See, technology....the more you think it will help, the more trouble you get into.

Now this is my idea of high tech -

Ok, all done now. It took about 4-1/2 hours, what did you say the other day an hour per lb? Let's go with 1-ish hours per lb and forget about internal temp.

That beef shoulder is amazing! Well marbled, flavorful, super tender. Mmmm. It is way better than the chuck or bottom round that was on the smoker. Although the smoke flavor is nice, it doesn't add enough to make it worth the effort. I may never buy another cut of beef again.

This is the beef shoulder

This is the bottom round on the right. That is smoke ring.

Yeah, shoulder/chuck is sooooooo much better than bottom round. There's really no comparison. The chuck just has so much more fat and connective tissue to melt away. It's all about the hydrolysed collagen....good for lip injections as well as beef stew....mmmmmmmmm

Just use bacon grease for searing next time if you want the smoker flavor.

OK, I'm back in the game. I decided to smoke a pork butt, it's going on the keg tomorrow. Water temp is 55 and climbing in the pool so I am going to clean the filters, and clean my gas grill tomorrow, just as well be smoking while I'm doing it.

Here's a nicely marbled pork butt:

Here it is rubbed with stubs pork rub penetrating with the olive oil:

All wrapped up headed for the fridge for a 12 hour sitting:

Stay tuned, tomorrow will have pictures of the process and finished product. Nice thing about pulled pork is it's delicious the first time, and many times after. I take it and freeze it in a quart baggies and is delicious each time.

Sorry for all the links but I finally figured out which address to copy. Btw this is New York strip steak topped with infused herbed butter served with roasted rosemary finger potatoes and sautated green beans and tomatoes

What did you use on your Beef Wellington recipe? That's a favorite if my wife's too...

This is the recipe I used with a little mods
Beef Wellington Recipe | SimplyRecipes.com
I was very surprised how time consuming the prep was as I am a grill man:D, however I decided to surprise the wife. Also my tenderloin filets were way too big (16 oz each, I love big steaks:p) so I would do much smaller ones.

Yes, Beef Wellington is an advanced dish that takes a lot of time. The best recipe I ever saw for it was over at Serious Eats - The Ultimate Beef Wellington Recipe | Serious Eats You want to talk about crazy, that one used fois gras as an ingredient and two different layers of pastry shell to keep the crust from getting soggy :crazy:
