Game steaks allowed here?  Ribeyes from the elk I took last season.  Served with a blueberry balsamic reduction and a Gorgonzola cream sauce.  Interestingly, the sauces needed each other.

Dry brined most of the day and now butter poaching in the sous vide. 

[Sam Lin 3550]

Have you tried without the butter? Guga found it actually dilutes the meat flavor, and my limited testing seems to agree. Baste with butter on the sear, but sous vide without added fats.

[brown water 3775]

I usually do without butter. Think this is the second time I’ve tried with butter.  I’ll use it for the sear too.  Report back…

[brown water 3775]

Letting it rest for a bit before a finishing smoke

 

 

[deft 6832]

I mean….I guess I’d eat it.

[brown water 3775]

Ready to go 

[deft 6832]

Ok yes, would eat for sure.

[Sam Lin 3550]

Is that Jack Straw's dog?

[brown water 3775]

Certainly reflective of the genre but that’s our oldest vizsla. No doubt with worse manners that straw’s pup

I've been under the weather and missed this weekend's trip to the lake. So I treated myself. Dry brined for about six hours. Added some pepper and garlic powder. Cooked indirect on a Weber Kettle to 119F internal. I rested it, seared it over the coals for 90 seconds per side, and finished it in a pan of butter, rosemary, and garlic.

Forgot to circle back. Agree on the above.  Thx for mentioning. Hadn’t watched Guga and am finding some interesting stuff on his channel.

Thick cowboy ribeye from Costco. (Pic doesn't show how thicc, was ~2".) Last minute decision to thaw and cook, thawed in water bath, no dry brine time, Smoked an hour over some pecan.

 

Made sure to get the perfect crisscross grill marks on the sear though!

 

That'll do.

SIAP- What chimichurri recipe are y'all using? It seems pretty straightforward, but if I know the Surl, there's someone here with a fantastic twist or some specific ingredient that kicks all kinds of ass.

'preciate it.

Kids are at their moms and tomahawks were $12.50 a pound at AJs.  Steak and green beans it is.  Sadly there were leftovers.  

[SurlyBDR 22762]

Kids are here with me and "wagyu" was $39.99/lb at HEB. Steak and potatoes it was. Sadly, there were no leftovers.

[solamente73 1132]

Experimenting with elk continues.  This time, marinaded top sirloin steaks with chimichurri.  

Leftovers made great tacos out at the farm.

Marinade:

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 tablespoons dried minced onion

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

(I doubled the recipe above)

Probably not the Surlified recipe you are looking for, but I go fresh and simple so that the meat can do the talking:

1/2 cup parsley - chopped

4 cloves garlic - chopped

1 shallot - chopped

1 tsp dried oregano

2 tsp red pepper flakes 

3 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper

2/3 cup quality evoo

Combine everything but the evoo in a food processor and process until finely minced but NOT a paste.  Move to a bowl and pour the evoo over the mixture.  Gently mix to combine.  Stand at room temp for 15 minutes and serve.

I doubt mine is very surl'd but it's what I like. 

I go cilantro and parsley (flat leaf)  at about a 2 to 1 ratio in favor of the cilantro

Garlic

Shallot

Fresno  Chile 

Oregano

Red wine vinegar

Olive oil- I go about 3 parts oil to 2 parts vinegar.... sometimes getting closer to 1:1

Salt

Pepper

It's a bit of a beating but I hand chop everything as finely as I can. I just gets too pasty for me in a food processor or blender. I much prefer the texture this way. I also use all fresh and no dried ingredients. And I go heavier on the vinegar than most recipes call for because I like the tang, especially on a rich,  fatty cut.  

[Texzilla58 4731]

I am close to your recipe but if I have fresh tarragon I’ll add that too. I like lots of shallots.

Figured this is where to ask.  Texas pride at stake here.
 

BIL and fam moved to CA when his wife got a job there that she couldn’t refuse.  One of her partners is bragging that Snake River ribeyes (and prime rib) beat anything that Texas can produce.  She called bullshit and is asking for recommendations for ribeyes that can be shipped from TX to CA that would whoop Snake River’s ass.  
 

44 Farms came to mind, but are there any boutique Texas places out there that can ship superior ribeyes etc out to CA that could be better?  We aren’t talking exotic A5-like stuff or anything - just excellent grilling steaks.  I shop CM and our local DFW Market Street (don’t sleep on them!) but don’t know the high end shipping market.  Yes, I know cooks and method matter, but we are just talking sources on the ribeye cut.  TIA.

I have no personal experience with them, but Cut Beef in Tyler is very small and gets its beef from one ranch.  I should try it soon.  Its storefront is about a mile from my house.  Not sure if you can buy individual steaks, but worth a look.

Find a source for prime Iowa corn fed beef and go with that. Ship to you then you ship to her. No one will know.

SRF is good stuff.

Go to Salt and Time. Explain the situation and get the best cut they have.

“Mushroom” is just the name. It doesn’t mean that you on use one mushroom in the cream sauce.
