    Thinking of doing a new york pork roast recipe

    A slow cooker is essentially a braiser. You could smoke the roast at 225F to an IT of about 170, get all the good bark and smoke flavor, and then transfer to a shallow aluminum pan, add some chicken broth (or beer) (~1.5 cups), cover with foil and braise at about 250F until an IT of 205ish...

    Unfortunately you are right. I'm doing what I can to try and change it though. Happy Q'ing.

    How to cook thin porterhouse steaks?

    Short answer: Yes. Most people unfortunately have grown up with the packets found in a grocery store that are 3/4"... Then when it comes time to grill it, by the time they get the good and tasty Maillard Reaction on the outside the steak is "done and dry" on the inside. Then they go to a...

    How to cook thin porterhouse steaks?

    That is a mighty fine looking steak though. I'll have to look into the vortex for my Weber. I used to have a slow n' sear, but that got left with my other Weber back in Tucson. At least a buddy of mine is getting good use out of it. I agree, a well marbled and perfectly cooked ribeye has...

    Beef Street Tacos

    Comin' right up! Thanks! Thank you! It has been about 4 years since I've had them, saw a movie with them and got an itch that wouldn't be satisfied until I had some authentic street tacos. I used a low sodium beef broth. Agree, not a fan of a lot of sugar... but I sometimes add it. It's a...

    Beef Street Tacos

    I do miss the southwest. Yes, street tacos and ma/pa restaurants down there are exactly like this. They were sooo good; used a ~3 lb chuck roast. The caveat to that rub is that I only use it on chuck roasts... they have a much higher tolerance to rubs, damn near impossible to over season a...

    Breakfast sausage won't freeze

    I'm willing to bet that's been your issue. Dollars to donuts.

    How to cook thin porterhouse steaks?

    You and your vortex... ;) Same as my chimney method, but way fancier with more cook space.

    Breakfast sausage won't freeze

    Is your fridge outside and is it cold where you are? Unless it's a fridge designed for the outdoors (has a temp probe on the outside to ensure temp reg), when it's cold out the freezer doesn't work much. Combine that with the salt content, it could be tough to freeze it.

    How to cook thin porterhouse steaks?

    Thin steaks are tough. My typical go-to is your option 2: sear as hot as possible and let it rest. I like to fill up my charcoal chimney and let it get real hot. I put a grate over the top of the chimney and then cook like I'm on a grill... a very super hot grill. Once I get a good sear, I...

    Beef Street Tacos

    Spending a few years near the border town of Nogales between AZ and Mexico, and now living in NC, I was craving some street tacos. If you've never had a Mexican street vendor taco, you have no idea what you've been missing in a taco. Its been a few years, so I had a craving. Decided to make it...

    First Tri Tip Brisket style

    When beef turns into a pulled meat tenderness, it is ALMOST better than a rare filet to me. I think you nailed it, that's how I do my more tougher pieces of beef. Low n slow with a braised finish.
