What's the plan? Smoking it?

On a Weber, yes.  That size, I hate to fire up the full on trailer rig.

Cooooool. Following.

All I have is a Weber and I use it often enough for brisket, spare ribs, beef ribs etc and have had great results. Doing a chuck roast has been on my list for some time.

Fucked it up. A bit too dry... got a late start, ran around 450⁰ & @ the end, I got nervous thinking it might be a bit too undercooked.

Gave it :15 direct over the heat vs. offset & I think that was my fail.

Apologies, gents.

You "smoked" it at 450?  That's not how it works.

I intended to smoke it but again, was short on time.  Figured 1-1/2 hours @ higher temp would get it done.

Get yourself a Thermapen.  Never guess if meat is done again.

[BHMCruiser 1814]

chuck roast at 450 degrees for 1.5 hours = gross

[BHMCruiser 1814]

you'd have been much better off cooking it in the oven at 350 covered with beer or wine

I usually cover myself in beer or wine when I'm cooking.

This.  Everyone needs an instant read thermometer.

If you're not Surly 1%, this works very well at a quarter the price of a Thermapen.

Or the OG is currently onsale.

If being able to afford a $70 necessity puts you in the surly 1%…this place really must really be a bunch of poors.

Recipe please.

[956 Worldwide 34715]

Posting this here instead of the steak thread because, frankly, the steak itself was not my very best effort. The compound butter on the other hand, was miraculous. 
 

I love compound butter, and it can absolutely rescue a mediocre meal. Don’t ask proportions for this, just eyeball it. The pedestrian stuff in the butter : thyme, chopped garlic, salt.

The game changer—- a splash of fish sauce. Wrap the compound butter in parchment, refrigerate. The downside is that you can’t spread this on bread or toast, or use in anything that calls for restraint as it’s far too funky and strong.

The upside is that when this melts into a steak, that savory salty funkiness blends into beef like magic. Absolutely perfect. Photo below taken right after the butter got added to the hot steak.

Speaking of thermopens, mine chews through batteries like crazy and likes to just randomly decide to not come on unless I open and close the probe a bunch of times. This is my second one to do this. They just came out with a new one but I'm hesitant to try again.

The open/close thing is an issue. They'll fix it but not sure how permanent the fix is. The thermopops use a regular button so they're pretty reliable.

[Baboontyme 2812]

Hey @ROFL BOX that thing isn't over cooked, it's undercooked. The fat didn't render. That's why it tasted like shit. 

[Buzzrock 14921]

Seared tuna, blackened red snapper, and grilled grouper for a family get together. All slammed.

[BearCountry11 1234]

Visited some friends in San Antonio this weekend and stopped by Tri County Meat Market. They had some amazing NY Strips so we snagged a few….holy shit. Absolutely incredible.

This is more of a steel shank meal, but the ingredients are too frou frou. Was on my own for dinner tonight and had to improvise something quick. Started with half a thing of gnocchi and some pesto. Started pan frying in a bit of olive oil, added a scoop of garlic, realized I had some queso fresco so why not cut off a few pieces to fry in the pan, at this point might as well add mozzarella.  Scoop into a bowl, spoon a bit of sambal oelek on there and I guess this is basically nachos.

brushing the oil on, at least with my silicone brush, doesn't work.  the spices sink to the bottom of the oil in a hurry so the brush doesn't pick them up. these pieces i dunked and moved around to try to get more spice blend on them.  tossing in a big bowl might work better though you might lose the breading.

Love this guy.  His birria tacos recipe changed my life.  Gotta try hot chicken!

[BigDHornfan 6548]

Did fish and chips with snapper we caught in Port Aransas.
Made everything from scratch including the tarter sauce and coleslaw dressing.
Damn it was tasty.

I planted a small basil plant at the beginning of the summer and at this point it’s growing like a weed. I’ve been trying to use it once a week or so to keep the plant from getting too unruly. Might have to give this a try.

Oh yes. I plant basil every year and it gets HUGE. I always have way more than I need so I'm always looking for ways to use it... I literally threw this thing togehter a few years ago when I was trying to come up with more basil uses, lol.

Another good one you might try is I make a lemon-basil aioli that it shit fucking hot on like a grilled chicken sandwich, dipping French fries or tater tots in just whatever.

I don't really measure so these are approximate:

• 1ish cup of mayo
• 2 cloves of garlic
• A shit-ton of fresh basil from the garden
• Squeeze of about 1/4 of a lemon (maybe ends up being a few teaspoons to a tablespoon of lemon juice
• Salt and pepper
• Blend up in a food processer.
• Spread it on whatever or dip whatever in it.
