    Wagyu Beef Shoulder Roast

    I picked up this beef shoulder roast from Costco the other day. I was thinking about smoking and then pan finishing for either sliced or pulled beef. What are your thoughts? Do you think there's enough fat for the higher finishing temps? Any specific techniques you'd recommend?

    No muss starter pictorial

    Here's a brief pictorial of my current no-feed, low maintenance starter technique. I made two 500gram loaves with this a few weeks ago. I keep the starter in the fridge in a 8oz jelly jar. I go from fridge to finished loaves in less than 24 hours. Great sourness and leavening. Pictures 1) 2...

    Boudin-ish links

    I first tried boudin about 25 years ago from a local sausage maker in Oakland called Taylors sausage, and the whole family really enjoyed them. About 5 years ago I tried making some at home, using recipes found on the web. Although the flavor was very close, the texture was much different. After...

    Thanksgiving Tri-Tip

    With no relatives coming over for the holiday, we decided to keep it simple and make a non-traditional meal. Smoked tri-tip with béarnaise sauce, oven roasted garlic potatoes, and pan roasted sprouts with maple syrup and smoked almonds.

    Carne Asada Burritos

    Have a freezer full of meat, but just couldn't pass up a 13lb package of angus flank steak, mislabeled as back ribs for $2.79 at Costco. Marinated overnight in carne asada seasoning. Was going to grill over charcoal but smoke and air quality is terrible right now, so grilled it on the Weber...

    Chuck Short Ribs

    Made some chuck short ribs over the holiday weekend on the Memphis. Seasoned with Montreal Steak that I ground up in a coffee grinder to a finer consistency, and added a bit of ground coffee. Ran at 200F for the first hour, then up to 250F to finish. Took 6 hours for the smaller rack and 7 for...

    Nachos

    Digging around the freezer found this mesquite smoke point I made earlier this year. Heated the point in sous vide at 170 for about 45 minutes and mixed up a batch of smoked cheddar cheese sauce with melting salts. Good stuff

    More Bagels

    Our Black Trifele tomatoes are finally ripening so decided to make some bagels with the works. Misread my own recipe and ended up using about twice as much malt as I usually do - the dough was sticky and difficult to work with, but it all worked out in the end.

    Bread Baking on the Weber

    Temps in the Bay Area have been too high to use the oven indoors, and with all of the smoke can't even open the windows at night to cool things off. So I baked a sourdough country loaf in the Webber gasser. Was able to maintain 450F with the left and sear station burners running on high. Turned...

    Magical Brisket

    My kids picked up an Angus brisket from Cash & Carry on Saturday for me to smoke for Fathers Day. I asked them how big it was and they said 12lbs - it didn't have a price/weight label as they just weigh them at the register. As I trimmed and prepped it, it seemed bigger than 12 lbs but didn't...

    Mothers Day Bagels

    Made the dough Saturday night and my son shaped them. Boiled and baked Sunday morning for a nice breakfast. Didn't degass as much as I should so they were a bit airy but still had a nice chew.

    Mesquite Smoked Brisket

    Mesquite wasn't my first choice, but Kingsford Mesquite briquettes were all that was available at Cash and Carry (most stores have nothing) so I figured I can't be too picky. Luckily I had enough Kingsford Pro left to fill about 60% of the basket, and used the mesquite for the balance, and did...

    First long cook on the OKJ Bronco

    First overnight smoke I've done on the Bronco - a 10+ lb butt. Started at midnight with a near full charcoal basket and some hickory chunks and it ran well at around 225F till about 9:30am. It had hit the stall, and pit temps started dropping so I wrapped and finished in the oven. So I got 9...
