    Joe Hell Why did you choose to pre-sear vs post sear? Also nice trussing!

    Tex_77 I read that the pre-sear results in a deeper flavor due to the caramelization and long cook time. The Jus is amazing! I have now pulled it from the Sous Vide and I’m doing a second sear in my fire pit. Check out the link…it’s almost like being here!

        Tex_77 thanks for the trussing compliment! That was the first time I didn’t screw it up. Lol. I used it as a practice run for tying pancetta tomorrow!

          Joe Hell I very much agree with Tex_77 That is some quality string work there! We are getting ready to put some coppa in the dry curing cabinet and I was going to use Roast Wrap but you have inspired me to try one of them with butchers twine.

          How was the taste?

            Jonathon It turned out excellent despite taking it a few degrees warmer than I intended. The meat was very moist and had a great garlicky flavor throughout with plenty herbal notes from the rosemary. The juices left over in the bag made a wonderful Au Jus. I made mom a ‘French Dip Kit’ with fresh baked bread and smoked ‘Cougar Viking’ cheese for mothers day which she shared with my grandparents. Grandma laid claim to all of the leftovers. lol.

            In regards to the cheese…Washington State University makes some of the best cheese I’ve ever had. It comes in a can and it’s absolutely amazing!

              Joe Hell Cheese in a can? You have started a debate in my office, I now must see a picture of the actual cheese. Two people in here (i am one) find this very odd and cant wrap our heads around it, the 3rd person is acting like this is the most normal thing in the world!

                Jonathon It is so very, very good. I believe it was developed during the first World War as there wasn’t a better alternative to ensure it wouldn’t go bad before it reached the troops. The prices online from the link below are far better than what I can buy locally. I’d suggest you guys order before the weather gets too hot! You won’t be sorry!

                    Jonathon The Cougar Gold is my personal favorite and likely their most popular. All of them are excellent though. I haven’t tried any of the pepper varieties or the smoked one.

                      Here is a steak I cooked sous vide last night. I seasoned it with Oakridge BBQ Carne Crosta Steakhouse Rub, then vacuumed sealed it, and put it in the sous vide at 123 for about an hour. After that I took them out and put a coating of mayonnaise on them, then seared them off in a cast iron pan on the stove, and hit them with some finishing salt. The results speak for themselves.

                          Tex_77 That looks awesome! Do you have an instagram or twitter account you want me to link these to when I repost them on walton’s social media? Have you tried their Smoky Chili Lime? It is seriously good on so many things, it goes particularly good with another of my favorites Soluble Pa’s Black Bull!

                            Jonathon I have not used their Chili Lime seasoning, but I do have several Chili Lime seasonings, the one I can remember off the top of my head is Kosmos Wing Dust Chili Lime seasoning.

                              Tonight I made another Chuck Eye and a filet of catfish using the Sous Vide. This time I used a blackening seasoning and finished both in a smoking hot pan of clarified butter and fresh thyme. The pan gave the steak a great crust. This particular cut wasn’t the greatest but it still managed to be a decent steak although it was pretty fatty. The fish was crusty and perfectly flaky. I ended up making fish tacos with a horseradish slaw, avocado and cotija cheese.

                              I picked up some Snake River Farms Wagyu Sirloin today. I will do one cut using reverse sear and the other will be sous vide and both will be finished on the Weber kettle. I’m excited about these cuts!

                                  PapaSop I’ve eaten but never purchased Wagyu prior to day because it is normally prohibitively expensive. They have a couple different grades of Wagyu on the website that range in price from $32-$40/lb… I’m not sure what grade I have but at $11.99/lb. it was too good a deal to pass up.

                                    I see you’re online. Question, I plan on injecting that butt with the Pa’s. Can I do it tonight and smoke tomorrow or better to inject in the morning?

                                      PapaSop I asked Jonathon that very question on my Pa’s Black Bull thread. He said there are no issues and you could even hold it up to 3 days! I used the same injection for my roast beef and it was excellent! I also used the Garlic & Pepper jerky seasoning…soooo tasty!
