What's on your plate today?

[thinde]

Cheddar, mushrooms and shallot quiche. Planning on serving it with a green salad and Kendal Jackson chardeny. Something light before tonight’s festivities.

For New Years, I cooked black eyed peas/cornbread/greens.

I'm learning to make pho.

This is my second attempt and came out pretty good---I'm using a pho broth concentrate, but this time I made it with part water, part beef bone broth for a deeper, more intense flavor and a bit more body.

Probably going to try to make my own from scratch eventually, though---it's just roasted beef soup bones, ginger, anise, baked onion and fish sauce . . . and time. You need to simmer it about 10 hours, but that's what crockpots are for.

For me, pho is all about the broth.

 

[Not A Nice Person]

For me, pho is all about the broth.

I get cravings for it like I do for menudo and when I looked up how to make it I think I figured out why: tripe and bone broth, which is what pho basically is, are both rich in collagen, which is super good for your digestive tract, your skin, your hair, your fingernails . . . food as medicine.

The photo of your daughter is a keeper. She’ll hate when she’s 17 but she’ll get over it!

Ribeye steaks on The Big Green Egg!

A lot to be said for cooking on high heat 700°. Definitely sears in all the flavor.

Cooked potatoes in EVO with basil and Brussel sprouts with EVO and onions/bacon inside foil packets on the Egg to go with the steaks. Pretty much the kids favorite meal that I make.

I throw splints of Hickory on the coals just as I put the steaks on for extra flavor.

Let me just say that any Friday that includes a stop at Rudy's BBQ on the way home from work is a fine Friday indeed!

They do a jumbo smoked baked potato, loaded up with butter, sour cream and grated cheddar then topped with smoked brisket. Which I get with a little more brisket on the side, for a balanced meal.

It's a LOT of food and damn it's good!

Do you reverse sear the steaks? Last night I was thinking about going by the butcher shop today to get me a couple of ribeyes, this picture definitely gave me some inspiration!

 

[ironpeddler]

I've been reverse searing for years and in my opinion it really depends on the meat used. Beef tenderloin works great...especially when bought whole and done in 8"-10" long pieces that we then slice for steak sandwiches, prime rib as well. Even when I have the butcher cut the rib eyes 1 1/4" to 1 3/4" thick....reverse searing requires a keen eye that doesn't blend well while cooking under the influence of alcohol. Lately I've been cooking my rib eyes sous vide with a short finish on a very hot grill (or my outdoor pizza oven at 900+ degrees) with outstanding results....and by doing it this way my 'f*ck-up factor' is greatly reduced.

@Nihon_Ni & Mrs. Ni graciously hosted my family and I over for a traditional Japanese Shibu Shibu hotpot dish. Not only was the meal amazing, but the ambiance and coziness of their home was equally amazing.

Paul, is that an air fryer?

 

[bfreebern]

Had some old bananas, made 3 loaves of banana bread yesterday. 1 loaf left, LOL.

Frying meatballs today...the little ones go in the lasagna and the larger ones are par-fried and frozen for later.
