What did everyone cook today?
-
Put a brisket to bed in the Traeger this morning for dinner tomorrow night, long low temp smoke. Took the flat and going to cure it for either Corned Beef or Pastrami.
The finished product of 18 hours in the Treager plus some homemade cornbread for dinner tonight. Pictures from middle and end of the smoke.

Brian Schneider have you ever made pickled peppers they are very good
craigrice pickled peppers are fairly easy to make.
Vinegar 2x, water 1x, salt and sugar to taste. Pepper corns and oregano. Wash and cut room temperature jalapenos. Stuff into sterilized pint jars, lids and rings.
Bring brine to a boil, fill jars 1/2" from the top. Tightly seal lids on jars and invert for 5 minutes. Turn back over and let cool until lids seal. If one or two don’t refrigerate, other wise they are shelf stable. The hot fill method keeps the peppers crisp. -

John Gehringer John, That is some awfully good looking hog meat & cornbread to boot.

craigrice Yes, the water version & the oiled version. The oiled version taste better, but are a little more challenging. We usually just do the water & spices with vinegar or refrigerator style.

TexLaw Tex, Those rolls have my mouth watering. Did you do those in your smoker?

calldoctoday Kind of looks like pork but is even finer, it’s a beef brisket

Oh, OK, Well it looked like a boneless butt. You must have separated the point & the flat before smoking. I usually have always done them as one packer & thus they are about three times as big. The size made me think it was a boneless butt. That is a pretty neat idea to just smoke a small amount by separating them before the smoke rather than after. I am just the opposite though most of the time & try to smoke as much as I can at once for efficiency. Regardless, they are all good.

calldoctoday Took the flat off, usually split them differently if I’m going to use them for two different item. I was going to corn the flat for either corned beef or pastrami until I found I had two in the freezer already. So I am curing it with Maple Bacon cure, with some extra maple sugar in it. Thinking it may be like a lean beef bacon with a short cold smoke 4-5 hours then finish to 140 degrees. It was a small brisket as well, 10 lbs before splitting

A quick breakfast this morning with some fresh made sausage. More on that later.
Weird. Got error message from picture upload.
Trouble with parsing server upload. Hmm.Tried again with different pic.

calldoctoday No, I just did them in the oven. I used this recipe and followed the variations in the comment made by Bill B. (including substituting some whole wheat flour).
It really was pretty easy. The toughest part was getting the rolls relatively equal. My first, eyeball effort ended up with variations between 65 g and 100 g. Oops. It wasn’t too bad to work out, though. It’s an easy dough to work with.

Jambalaya with smoked Cajun sausage. About time to make some more of this sausage. -
Well I didn’t cook anything today, but I did manage to catch these beasts! 14#,13# and 11#!

As long as I had the circulator already out thought I’d try this again. 10 oz NY Strip. Set temp at 135 deg for 1:45 in the water, one minute direct grilled on each side. Wonderful.
