What’s Served?

What's on the menu? Tasting something fancy and fine? Just plain yummy? Share!

 

Back in the hospital for a few days to extract a 4kg parasite from my wife’s abdomen. These guys go all out to win the medical tourism dollar.

 

Currently having holidays at the Costa Del Sol in Spain. Found this lovely little restaurant with super nice staff, great atmosphere and lovely food.

 

Wish your wife a speedy recovery!
And damn, I think in The Netherlands the food in hospitals is part of a strategy to reduce the length of hospital stay....

 

Reverse sear ribeyes for dinner. I pulled them just slightly higher temp than I wanted. Amazing how just 5-10 degrees makes a difference. Still tender and yummy

 

eh, I'd eat that.

 

It got ate! and the remaining one will get ate for breakfast with some eggs most likely. I was shooting for 135 but it got up to 140-150 before I blinked!
Next time I'll pull them at 130 and while they rest they should get close to 135.

I still ate the fat and everything. I dry brined them for about 3 hours before the grill. Then sprinkled some Heifer Dust on them for the cook. Yummy nonetheless. I got about 20 more ribeyes to get it right lol

 

Looks DAMN GOOD to me!

 

The science keeps changing!

JJ Your BBQ is getting better all the time!
So many variables are at play. A thinner steak like that can be a bit harder to time carryover cooking. If you are cooking multiple steaks next time experment with pulling them at various temps to see the effect.
At the end of the day you have not cooked anything that was inedible...so good on you.

 

As I was eating I was thinking next time I'd get at least 1.5 inch cuts. I had these cut to 1 inch. But I think 1.5 or even 2 inches would be better. I vac sealed them 3 per pack. Next time I'll experiment.

I'm also considering getting a Blackstone with the flattop griddle. TSC has a 22" for $200. Which is the perfect size for me honestly. Might be easier to control the temps on a two burner gas cook top over a charcoal grill.
