GWG8541 Up here in Yuppie land, yes. In the rural areas, almost non-existent.
I hope you live in the country then. Around here if you don’t eat meat, then you eat chicken or pork. Sorry, just a little humor.
kyle reminds me of the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding. " you don’t eat meat, thats OK ill fix you some lamb".

zbigjeff I know you have Kroger stores back there because Kroger’s corporate is in Cincinnati. I get a lot of my mozzarella from the Murray’s cheese kiosk when they are marked down. I’m able to pick up the mozz [censored] for .99-1.99 (reg. 5.99) and the mozz logs(melts better for 1.99-2.49(reg 7.99). After I smoke them I’ll wrap in plastic wrap and vac pac and freeze. I do about 30 [censored] & 15 logs a year and they will still be good a year latter. I’m not too proud to not hit the “Marked Down” cheese & meat areas of the stores. Found some great buys, but always check expiration and do a visual. Good times are usually after Holidays.
Bob Stehlik That’s some nice looking final product. Originally, mine was not that pretty. The second batch done with an ice tray worked out much better and prettier.

I had one last package of elk tenderloin from the freezer tonight. I did a reverse sear on the pellet smoker and finished it in the CI with butter, garlic cloves and a sprig rosemary to a medium rare. My youngest son assisted and took some of my garden beans and cooked them with my dry rub bacon (from earlier this week) and garden tomatoes. He also made a homemade loaf of crusty white bread in one of my Dutch ovens. Its kind of fun to create a meal with my kids once in a while, especially since they are grown men now.

Up until now I’ve only ever used sous vide to cook frozen brats before finishing them on the grill. Tonight I used the sous vide function on my instant pot to cook up a rib eye from frozen before slapping it in a hot CI skillet. Came out really good. Not necessarily better than my usual reverse sear, but nice to add a new cooking method to the armamentarium. Coupled with all the positive reviews from you guys on finishing snack sticks, definitely has me considering buying a more formal sous vide set up.

Surg well don’t feel bad, I was given this as a gift from a friend, so I don’t have a whole elk. Man do I wish I had a whole one in the freezer. It is awesome meat. I think I’m down to a 4 pack of burgers. Obviously it’s not the same, but there are elk ranches around the country that have the farm raised meat. It is not cheap, but who knows, it may be balanced out with the price of beef and pork now.

Making a slow cooked chili with elk strap cubed and mixed in some goose breast cubed. It’s gonna be good.
lkrfletcher looks like a good fall/winter dish. It got down around 37 near me last night so I guess it’s time.

YooperDog You have got to be kidding. That is amazing! It did drop to the low 90’s here, upper 80’s, but humidity still 80% plus.

GWG8541 We are on the same wavelength again, sans the Elk though on my end, unfortunately.

GWG8541 I definitely agree! My youngest, 31yo has gotten the cooking bug and we get to share ideas and processes. H&ll we get to know each other better, spent the better part of their growing up away.

YooperDog Surg Tex_77 Yooper is correct. Thinking I heard that trick on this site and tried it. Oh, the crust it creates. I even laughed at some who said “I absolutely hate mayo”. I told them how I finished their steaks (after they were all completely finished). Then, they blamed me for tricking them. They even went so far as to say that I lied. Then, I pulled out the pics I took just before searing. Some people have that mental “block” and will not expand their decisions (stuck in the mud).

YooperDog Wow. Darn it. Looks like I have to start looking for the long pants and socks. Haven’t seen them in 4 months.
