Stainless counter and what looks like an epoxy floor makes me think that's a restaurant.

Those shoes and pants too. Hopefully it is a restaurant.

Didn't realize there was another thread...

So I did 72 hour short ribs at 134 degrees and was not that impressed, I think it does need a sauce or glaze but maybe I did it wrong. Do you guys salt and pepper before the sous vide or after? I didn't as I heard salting prior to long cooks could result in a more cured meat taste.

While the texture was great, it tasted too much like ground beef imo. If you have any tips or easy sauces/glazes to go with it I'd greatly appreciate it!

Blue,

Lots of sous vide short ribs reviews itt.

Absolutely no need for a sauce, they are crazy rich and flavorful. I’ve always seasoned beforehand and no cured meat taste at all, just deliciousness. I posted one itt with a few different seasonings - salt and pepper, bbq spice rub, and something else.

Can confirm the slow roasted sweet potatoes are incredibly good. No labneh available this time. Maybe next.

I made it myself by adding a pinch of salt and a little lemon juice to Fage Greek yogurt, and letting it drain overnight in cheesecloth in the fridge.

Christmas means fried chicken.

Sous vide 151. Fried in 400f peanut oil. Half was done Nashville style (dipped in a hell broth of various powdered Chiles and fryer oil).

Man Nashville hot chicken is the goat. I’ve even got a poor photograph for you!





Merry Christmas.

Made Kenji beef tenderloin. Part on bottom was thinner and more medium and part on top was larger and a perfect medium rare for me. Picture a little off. Also made a modified sauce because FIL brought over 2 year old horseradish that expired in Jan 2015:

OOT cooks,

Honoring the Jewish people on this Christmas Day.

Brisket braising:




Latkes and applesauce snack while we wait. Added some cayenne to one batch of applesauce, that turned out great!


Also have a creme brûlée experiment in progress:

I did 2 meat, 1 veggie and one cheese lasagna for x-mas eve. I've decided that if you're going to go all out on every ingredient like I did then lasagna ends up less than the sum of its parts. I mean, they were all good, but I think I would have been happier just eating big bowls of fresh ricotta, creamy spinach and rich ragu.

Zik: I could not disagree more. Lasagna >>>>> sum of the parts!

Red: lol, awesome.

Braised brisket fans:


Delicious! But Texas style dry bbq brisket still better.

I know it's a bold stance but imma stick with it. I ate many many spoonfuls of my sauces and fillings while I was making those and I loved them all, And then when I put them all together it was like, meh, yeah, it's lasagna.

Zik,

Try that serious eats no hold barred lasagna one time if you haven’t yet.

It’s a great showcase for prime components like you’re talking about.

I think I'll have a lox plate for lunch tomorrow now. Also, I got an instant pot for Christmas and I'm planning on trying a couple things out this week. Hopefully this post holds me accountable to that.

Left over aged prime rib, thinly sliced.



Steeped in left-over Au Jus, Quizno’s style.



Topped with mozzarella & toasted on King’s Hawaiian sub rolls (picture is the side I hadn’t yet bit into...yum)

looks fantastic.
your use of mozz got me wondering what i'd choose as my cheese if all other elements remained the same. i first thought of white cheddar, but ultimately decided it would be a toss up between gouda and a creamy bleu sauce. also considered edam, provolone, and gruyere.
