So the wife wanted some shepherds pie today so I smoked up a couple of chucks for the job....
One is seasoned with SPOG & Cajun and one w\ Kinders Prime Rib...both went in @ 275 over pans with beef broth to catch the drippings......I am enjoying having two racks!
@6 hours in @ IT 160,
cut an onion into slices, into the pan and the chuck on top!
All snug as a bug @ 275 for 3 more hours to IT 205 and stalled.....into the house oven @ 170 till dinner time....
Collected and fat skinned the broth and drippings for the gravy! This stuff is pure gold!
dinner time, the “pulling of the chuck” .....yes it tastes lick it looks!
the wife made up a flour roux with some chicken stock, beef Demi, worsch sauce, beer, and pan reserves, added pearl onions and sliced roots......oh my YUM!
building the pie, layer of smothered smoked chuck yumminess, seasoned extra veg,
Next some Gordon Ramsey Yukon mash, topped with cheese
into the oven at @ 425 for 5 or so mins then garnished with sliced GO! Joined on the plate with some of my wife’s beer cheese, flour roux, milk, beef demi, dry mustard, worch sauce, salt, white pepper, and smoked Gouda w/pretzel bites!!!!
Perfect ushering in winter meal “beer money”!
it is October and all......got to be festive!
