Weekends I usually end up making steaks one night. Particularly proud of tonight’s. Wasn’t planning on it, so actually cooked these from frozen. Snake river farms Wagyu ribeye filets.

Salted and sous vide at 130 for about 2h15 with truffle butter,l and then seared on carbon. Came out perfect.

makes me think that dry brining isn’t always necessary.

paired with 2020 Chappellet - they pulled before smoke hit and glad I have a bunch to save. Got an *ahem* smokin deal on them.

Do you notice a difference when you cook from frozen rather than thawed? Texture? taste?

Dinner was a garden salad with green onions, blue cheese crumbles, micro greens, kimchi and black olives. Side of carne asada chicken I grilled yesterday. Not bad and fairly light…of course I’m stuff hungry, but a handful of dots pretzels seemed to help.

But does it taste good on a pizza? :p

I’ve had “Indian pizza” a lot so yes it should be great on pizza.

We tried Indian pizza a few months ago. The first few bites seemed OK, but we both quickly decided the fusion didn't work for us, even though the crust was good. We actually tossed most of it out, something we have never done with pizza.

Still working on that part.... not the most popular thing in my neck of the woods (which is interesting considering the concentration of South Asians to my East). Lots of South Asian food in the area, but not much in terms of fusion. I'd have to go West for about 45 minutes to an hour to find an indian pizza place. Might have to try making an Indian pizza myself if I don't want to drive far away. :(

How was the steak? I ALWAYS have the traditional salad with honey mustard (and I don't even like honey mustard) and French dip at Hillstone or Houston's. I need to try new things.:D But it's one of the best salads I've ever had and THE best French dip!

I wore out my Traeger after about 20 years, so bought a Camp Chef on super sale at Sportsman's Warehouse last week. First cook tonight, pork spareribs.
Turned out good, but the new smoker is definitely different and I need to make some adjustments next time.
