Long weekend at a Galveston Bay rental.  Seafood galore with a little turf thrown in.  Limited with what I had to work with, but loved the results.

They are called Brazi bites. Brazilian bread you can buy at Kroger, maybe HEB if they are open. Cheesy little bread balls, same shit they have in Brazilian steak houses.

Buy some and thank me later

Are you going to eat all 3.5oz by yourself?

3.5 oz with 30% being water, so under 2.5 oz of beef.

Never understood the slicing of the steak when plating.  Is there a reason for this that I’m just too dumb to know about?  Every steak I’ve ever ordered at a restaurant is not pre-sliced and I never do that when I make steak.  What am I missing?

I slice my kid's bites so while I've got the cutting board and a knife out and dirty, I go ahead and slice mine too.

Too shay

should have said “almost” every steak...

Ribeye, pork chops and sirloin, cut into chunks so everybody can have a bit of each. Had to do some QC on that missing bit sirloin to see how it handled 6 hours of sous vide at 130 before a quick blast on the grill.

went to PL with a group of buddies 15 years or so ago. At the end of the meal, there was about 4 cups worth of liquid grease on the plates they brought out the meat on...one dude said he would pour all the grease into a glass and drink it all if we paid for his meal.

we went out later and he would smile and there was about 1/4 inch of off-white colored hardened grease on his teeth. it was amazing. 

Prime strip tonight. Oven until 122 then 1 min sear, flip, 1 min, flip, min, flip (total of four min).

Perfect. Served with a baker and roasted broccoli.

Reverse sear on this strip last night.

I like the grill much better (not because the result is better, just because I like being outside cooking on a grill), but when forced indoors, I'm convinced this is the only way to do it.

I think I've also come around to the fact that the strip is the way to go.  Flavor of a ribeye...texture of a filet.

End result...

Side was some cheesy asparagus/broccolini concoction I whipped up...

Strip is definitely my go-to. I don’t buy anything else unless there is a sale or I decide that I want to cook a big tomahawk.

Grass fed strip. Pretty lean. Salt for a day. Sous vide at 125. Sear on french pan. Drink with red wine.0be2a8d6fcef26492d5e08d7fc89a395.jpg

I smoked a bone in ribeye over the weekend and then finished it over direct heat. Topped with homemade garlic herb butter.

Lmao that list doesn’t even have the best Pappas listed.  It says Dallas.  The one in Houston is better.  The Pappas in Dallas isn’t even the best in Dallas, let alone the state.  That list sucks.

Pretty good friends with one of the Mastro spawn. 

tried the reverse sear-my version of it today, on a NY strip.  Awesome! Whoever invented that shit should be a millionaire.  My little adjustment was that my frying pan wasn't hot enough when the steak hit the pan, so I turned the steak twice to get that first side an additional 30 seconds.  Was the best steak I have ever cooked at home, and not close.  Pink but plenty hot.  The steak stayed hot the entire time I ate, which is not always the case.  Most of the time I cooked a steak before I could get it to medium rare but it would be cold by the time I was halfway done.

Got me started thinking, would that technique work on a Chuck Roast?  I really don't see any pitfalls.  I will give it a shot, and instead of one minute on high for the sear, I think I will try 2 minutes each side.  I don't have a thermometer, so I played it by feel today for the strip.  My feel is pretty good, having worked as manager of Luby's cafeteria for 8.5 years a lifetime ago. 

I just had a flashback to Luby's.  The best steak I ever cooked I cooked at Luby's.  Two episodes really.  One time there was a ribeye in the cooler that looked like it was about to go bad, so I drenched it with melted butter, and then cooked it.  I put a little pan on top of the steak while it was on the grill.  I wanted to know if that technique worked so I cooked a 2nd ribeye for my dinner, same method.  Melted in my mouth good.   Later I would learn that the famous steak place in Austin-OMG I can't think of the name- cooked their steaks at 500 and soaked with butter.  Ruth's Chris- there it is.  

The other Luby's flashback was this: we were trying to get rid of some ribeye's one Saturday night in Sherman, so we cooked them and put them on the counter.  Price was very steep for your typical Sherman resident, and we relied upon the police to help us with high dollar items such as that. (Police got 50% off, and some locations would give food free if policeman entered location during the last half hour-can't remember if it was free in Sherman or not) I guess the police didn't show up that night, so my boss who was absolutely exceptional in creativity, decided we could try to sell the 3 remaining ribeyes the next day, but the rule at Luby's was you have to change the form of the meat.  So, we had Chicken Fried Ribeye.  I was the butcher that Sunday morning, so I put the three leftover ribeyes through the tenderizer a couple or three times and the fry cook did the usual- flour-batter-flour-batter-cracker crumbs.  They came out beautifully, but only two sold.  I took the plunge again- I was such a good food taster- and ate the last Chicken Fried Ribeye--ummmm good!  

I still occasionally have Luby's dreams/nightmares, but this was a pretty good series of flashbacks.  I guess when you work a job 14-15 hours a day, it does something to you.  I still know the ingredients for mayo.:   SESOVDM - salt eggs sugar oil vinegar dry mustard.  Whenever I completely forget that I guess I will be ready for the alzheimer's unit.  The wife occasionally gives me a hard time about remembering stuff.  

I should call that manager in Sherman and tell him this story.  Last time I checked property tax appraisal records he still lived in Sherman.  Great man.  Like a lot of great Luby's men, he got screwed, starting with that idiot CEO from the clothing business, Barry something- Parker I think.  100% jackass, didn't know what making food entailed.  Wow! I'm tripping.
