What's for supper - Second Course

[RanzB]

Tonight's dinner, or, how I learned to stop worrying and love the dog.

8 hour slow cooked beef ribs. Then smoked for 30 minutes

What's happening with the burger joint?

So who's starting the new thread?

Here you go.

Some recent meals. Ribs and sous vide rib-eye.

Making Thom Kha Gai tonight.

Now I wish I'd thought of doing some proper food before I got this hot dog craving. It happens about once a year though and I just have to indulge once and then remember why hot dogs shouldn't be classified as food.

I took a day off my diet recently and the only things I really really craved were a mutton bunny, beer and hotdogs.

You mean the sous vide and smoked chicken wing diet? Slumming it every once in a while is good for the soul

Haha, I keep the carbs really low in the rubs.. Sous vide is mostly meat so it's 100%.

I hear you.. I want all the rubbish I used to eat daily.

I can live without bread and pasta and on a stretch I think potatoes. I would really struggle to go without rice or to use flour in my cooking though. Those are absolute staples to me.

I can do without the rice. Bread used to be my staple...

You talking about the steak? I used my blowtorch to create a crust after doing the rib-eye sous vide. The blackness on the ribs is called a 'bark', created by using a rub and then smoking.

This was good

Turkey, roast potatoes, green beans, corn, candied yams, and gravy.

Apple pie coming up.

It's relatively easy to get a charred outside and pink inside if you quickly sear on a very high heat but you dry the outside and leave the inside somewhat raw. A sous vide is a whole other method - you vacuum seal the meat and cook in a warm temperature controlled bath for hours so the inside can remain pink even though it's perfectly cooked, then take it out and char the exterior.



The dogs.

I need to investigate this sous vida method... Any recommended reading anyone?

Looks awesome.

Turkey, roast potatoes, green beans, corn, candied yams, and gravy.

Apple pie coming up.

How was the turkey? And what do candied yams taste like?

The dogs.

Also looks great... Think I would have finished it off by smothering it in cheese and melting it.

In what do you cook the steak? Do you have a proper cooker thing? (whatever that is called)
