Wonderfully done David, beautiful plate.
I'm glad I didn't have to judge that TD. That would have been tough!

My entry for TD, Rolled Beef Short Ribs and Stroganoff
First off, there was a great showing and some very good entries, so here is mine . And like I said before congrats to all the winners and runners up. And thanks to all the folks that do this on their own time and to Jeff for the space for us to be able to do this .
Now, here it is:
First went to butcher and asked for a " butchers cut " of Short Ribs, 4 bone cut to 2 1/2" thick, he was very helpful, and found a great couple pieces that he cut off the whole racks for me. From the thicker ends.

Remove the bones and clean them up good. Saved the best 4 bones, trim the extra fat and silver shin.
Roll the strips back around the bone and tie to hold and keep shape, for the brazing. These had very good veining so stayed juicy

These came out to just over 3/4 of a pound each before the braising.
Seasoned the servings with SPG, Into a very hot Cast frying pan to seal in all the goodness on all edges and sides.

This smells good already, now off to the smoker with a temp of 275deg. Cherry chips and chunk
Approx 3 hours
While they are in the smoker, in the same pan used for the braising add my veg for the Stroganoff
Onions and than the mushrooms, getting all the good flavours from the beef, remove and make the sauce in the same pan
add flour and butter to make a rue, add the beef broth and than sour cream

Man this was good with just my spoon . While this was cooking boiled up my Pappardelle noodles, checked on the ribs, pretty soon now for them
Boiled up a few baby carrots and than fried in butter and s + p and parsley

Thanks to all that voted for me and got me at least into the second round
But there was some stiff competition, and worthy winners
David
That was a great entry!! I voted for that one in the first round! I thought it looked really cool and super Tasty as I'm sure it was!! Great Job!!
That is a really nice looking plate of food David. Very well done.
Wow David, what an incredible meal and an amazing entry. I was very, very impressed when you sent that to me for the TD. A truly spectacular effort my friend. Being relegated to ribs for this one and doing something this special makes me really anxious to see what you come up with for the next one
