Steak, Scallops, Pears, Plantains (8/16/2020)

 

Steak, Scallops, Pears, Plantains



 

This was a fun cook.  I raised the  coal basket to be closer to the cooking grate by placing it on a Raised  half grate.  I grilled pears for the 1st time they were amazing.  The plantains were not edible.  They were too ripe and I forget to peel them.  My wife said she would have liked her steak a little more done,  Next time Ill cook hers to 140,  Mine was a little over 140 and was perfect.  I used SPG on the steaks, they came out great.  They were about 20 oz each and cost about $23 each from US wellness meats, they are a little cheaper at my local butcher and taste just as good.  With covid going on the convenience of home delivery is a huge advantage for US Wellness Meats.



As you can see from this Pic I forgot to peel the plantains.  They did not come out good,  Next time I will peel them


That is the garlic butter Scallops across the rebar,  I thought the were good my wife says they were ok but fresh scallops are way better.  They came frozen with the sauce packet built in,  Next time Ill get the bacon wrapped ones,

After 35 minutes or so Lunch is ready the chicken was wonderful.  I ate the Drum sticks the wife ate the thighs. At 2pm I looked at the pork butt. I knew it was ready.  Look at the pull back from the bone.  Look at the gorgeous bark.   I put the thermapen in just to be sure.  It went in butter soft in multiple places another great sign.  It was reading north of 200 everywhere I probed.  It was ready for sure. When I took it off the...

Pork Sirloin Tip Roast (9/27/2020) This came out amazing in my Humble opinion.  It is a fairly simple recipe.  For the most part if it includes more then 4 ingrediants, I am in Trouble.  The Recipe is after the phot shoot. Its a double hook hang.  We also have pineapple on skewers and Roasted potatoes in a basket. Roasted potatoes and pineapple. The roast is done. Recipe:  I more or less followed the recipe on the Pit Barrel Cooker blog  Pork Loin Recipe . The biggest difference is I used the Central BBQ Rib Rub.  I loved how they turned out on my ribs so I thought I would try it on this roast. Here is how I did it. Pork Loin Roast 2,5 lb Sirloin Tip Roast ( I have also used a tenderloin and Center Cut Loin Roast) Extra virgin olive oil Central BBQ Rib Rub I placed a light coating of olive oil on the Pork Sirloin Tip roast.  I used the BBQ Rib Rub liberally.  (I really like the way the bark setup with this ...
