    Other Cuts of Beef as Good as Rib-eye - Part 1

    Who doesn't like a well cooked rib-eye steak, probably the most tender and flavorful cut of beef. But one could argue that other cuts, such as the tenderloin, are equally as good. But given current pricing for such cuts, is there something over looked and much cheaper that rivals them? For...

    Her secret is out- Getting a new Weber Kettle!

    Congrats on the kettle AND the newly renovated patio to put it on !!! You did the right thing getting that run off away from the house. Next invest in a Slow N Sear for the kettle. It really ups your game !!

    trying to get the brine right for corned beef..

    I think you’re approaching the problem from the wrong angle. The corning solution recipe needs to be as called for to properly cure the meat. If I’m reading your post correctly, I don’t think you are going through the rinsing process. You need to soak the meat after you cure it, changing the...

    Franklins BBQ

    I was up in Austin a month ago with a friend who wanted to "experience" Franklins. I had been there once before about a year ago. We got there about 8:30 am on a Saturday morning and were about 30th or so in line believe it or not. We were later told that we would probably not get beef ribs...

    WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH BRISKET PRICES!!

    Yes sure Al agree 100%. We grind brisket for burgers here regularly. And when I mentioned corning my brisket above, I really meant to follow that with taking the corned beef and turning it into pastrami. Like you and Judy, I have a real passion for the stuff and make it about once a month.

    WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH BRISKET PRICES!!

    Then as a fellow Houstonian you ought to know that your state, Texas, as been the leader in cattle production for many years. In fact Florida doesn't even make it into the top 10 producers. Not sure where you got your info from. Here are the Beef Industry website leaders as of last year...

    WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH BRISKET PRICES!!

    Price at our local Texas (Houston) HEB Grocery as of today, has ticked up about $0.10-0.15 a pound. These are select packers, prime is running $3.99/lb. I do SV corn beef so the $1.96/lb is fine for me. Besides, I can control the corning process, not happy leaving that to others, but that's me.

    Surf and Turf Skewers

    I typically buy a whole tenderloin at one of our local Asian markets (they sell it cheap, don't think they know how to price them), and I steak out the center. I then take the ends and what meat I harvest from the chain and do kabobs. We had some shrimp in the freezer ready to be cooked so I...

    Beef Ribs for Dad...Challenge Accepted!

    We get beef ribs all the time here in Texas. But what's interesting is I found the best beef ribs in a Whole Foods Market right next to my house. They cut them from the chuck which is twice as meaty, into little 3-4" pieces so folks can braise them or make them Thai style. I just asked the...
