    Beef Bacon - first try

    Beef is very different from pork. The fat has a higher melting point so doesn't crisp the same way. thanks I got more navel in the fridge. May try doing pastrami next time instead of bacon. thanks Relatively easy. Kinda like making pastrami. I can't bring myself to eat BLTs with store...

    My Pastrami Obsession

    Anyone use a beef navel instead of brisket? I got 1/4 navel left in freezer that I could try using for pastrami instead of beef bacon.

    Christmas Day Burger and Chuck Eye Steak

    LoL white American is the best I've found. Also works well in enchiladas and rellenos, but I like to combine with a bit of cheddar for Mexican.

    Beef Bacon - first try

    From our last processed Dexter steer, we got one side of beef navel cut into halves. The other side was cut into our usual short plate (dino) ribs. I really like the ribs but was willing to sacrifice some for a navel to make bacon with. Son #2 was visiting for the holidays so good time to give...

    Christmas Day Burger and Chuck Eye Steak

    Both look great. But no way I could eat a steak after that big burger patty. Us old folk just don't eat as much as you young'uns.

    Christmas Eve Ribeye Roast MES 30

    Great looking rib roast. My wife would say overdone, but that looks right up my alley.

    chuck roast mishap

    I prefer chuck also. They have more fat which helps to keep them moist (and maybe more flavorful). Also I'm not very good at smoked brisket, so lately I have been using brisket for pastrami.

    Meh - Semi-caveman Chuck Eye steaks

    When meat is put directly on coals (or even on a grate directly on coals), the coals are partially smothered and the fire is not as hot. If you have a thin steak, the inside will get done before the outside gets a good char. It helps to have a thick steak and a large enough fire that you can...

    chuck roast mishap

    I think civilsmoker can do it up good. For me it takes from 6 to 8 hours at 250F for 3-4 lb chuck. But it's done when it's done. Glad it turned out tasty.

    Sunday Smash Burger by RS

    Looks spectacular. But of course burgers have to have American cheese, not cheddar. I prefer LoL white American (also great for enchiladas). Although I like thick burgers (1/2 lb might be too much for an old guy like me), I thought smashed burgers were supposed to be thin. But it looks like you...

    I smoked a Picanha like a Prime Rib Roast

    I bet if you had cooked it on the pit, you would be saying that one was better than the smoker. Did it have enough time to absorb much smoke? And are those leftovers quesadillas? Looks good.

    CPB Ribs are what’s for dinner!!!!

    Finally. But man, that was worth the wait. Looks killer. And I understand your dilemma. That Piedmontese meat is priced at a pretty high premium.

    Four Tales of Sirloin Tips (thin cut style)

    I got 10+ packages of them, with 4 thin slices in each. All the dishes were very flavorful, but completely different. I've always cooked the thicker steaks, then slice it. But thin works too. Thanks Jim Thanks. The thin steaks really absorb the marinade. This Dexter steer was one of the best...

    Four Tales of Sirloin Tips (thin cut style)

    The processor gave me sirloin tips cut thin (about 1/4") instead of the usual 3/4" steaks. No way I can get medium rare with this. But turns out I'm really liking it cut like this: versatile and very tender when cooked hot and fast. Four tales: (1) bulgogi, (2) beef satay, (3) spinach salad, (4)...

    Thanksgiving prime rib…everything turned out just fine!

    Great looking roast. Looks like it has pecans on it, or is that something else.

    Mark down bin find….

    Good find and good cook. But even from the bargain bin, those thawks are pricey. And your kettle doesn't look that far gone, just a little scrubbing on the grate.

    Caveman Steak by RS

    I was expecting steak cooked directly on the coals, no grate. But this is probably a hotter fire; cooking directly on the coals smothers the fire a little bit.

    It's Cowboy Candy Time....Again

    Is that basically a jalapeño escabeche?

    Happy 18th Birthday!

    That's a fine looking meal. And a lot of it too.
