What did everyone cook today?
-
Christmas Stollen today, then the wife told me she wanted fruit cake too. Told it it had to sit for 3 weeks at least before she could eat it. Spend most of the day baking. No pictures of the Fruit cake, it’s still in the oven. Two hours to bake, one hour un-covered, then another covered, then cool and pour the rum to it when the wife isn’t looking.

Austin I think Upvote/Downvote might be possibly broken. I will show you what I mean later.

Jonathon The photo does no justice…today I made lamb Merguez sausage burgers on English muffin buns with fried ‘hot’ coppa, pickled red onions, half sour pickles, feta and a cotija cilantro dressing.

Joe Hell what exactly does Citi Bank have to do with the dressing?

Made some grilled shrimp yesterday simply tossed in a little oil and seasoned with Excalibur Butter Garlic Rub, they turned out excellent. I cooked them on my PK360 us B&B Oak Charcoal Briquettes.

Made some French Onion Soup this weekend. In my opinio this is one of the best comfort foods out there.

I finished Ssturday off with some ribeyes that I sous vided at 120 degrees, then seared off in a cast iron pan. The white stuff on the steaks is mayo I mixed with steak seasoning. The mayo helps with developing a nice crust on the steak. As these were some really thick steaks, I seared two minutes a side and they came out perfectly medium rare.

Tex_77 Happy that others have found the magic in mayo to get a nice crust. Yay for you. It’s one of those little used techniques.

Tex_77 Century 885 D2 when to see and order from Costco
alanburkholder ah the Ironwood. My friend has the larger Timberline, he has had problems with grease fires, Treager may have fixed those issues in newer grills. So be sure you are keeping it clean.

alanburkholder I’ve got a Little Tex w/cold smoker (since2005) and a Texas (since 2007). Love them both. I’ve been cold smoking cheese and roasting nuts (almonds & cashews) like crazy for the Holidays. Be sure to join the Traeger group and Team Blue!!!

Tex_77 The only time you will get a grease fire is if you let the grease build up on the tray and you end up with a runaway on the controller. My Texas Elite used to runaway until I replaced the control board with a new non, Traeger Stanbroil board. They make the boards for Traeger. Have a Pro Board that will go in when I get around to it one day. Love my Elite w/ the cold smoker attachment

johnsbrewhouse He said it had something to do with the grease drain on them. I was skeptical of it, until I googled, and I guess alot of people have had the issue. My is 11 years old, and I’ve never had a major fire with it.

Tex_77 Mine is only six years old, had only one fire due to the runaway temp and not cleaning the tray. Haven’t had any since I changed the controller.

Made some red wine braised short ribs today.
