Making beef wellington at the moment, but pulled one aside to try an all pan cook which I never do, kinds failed, but can't just post the best ones.

Wine is 100/100 at least.

Gonna make a rib roast tomorrow. A plan to do dinner was concocted this afternoon, so I went off to find a roast. Best one I could find an hour before the local grocer closed doesn't look too promising; not much fat and it's off the loin end. I don't have high hopes.

One quick question, convection or not?

Pretty terrible sear on the beef, but not overcooked as it has been in years past, so success. (Sad meat on the left for lol medium-well people)

SV steaks came out amazing. Tried to sear them on my grill at 600 degrees but it wasn't searing very well and I was afraid to overcook, so they came inside and went on the cast iron. Sucks that I can only do one at a time, but the crust formed quick and easy. Kind of scared my smoke alarms didn't go off though, going to go test those things

Finally got my Anova and i am feeling like a kid on Christmas. Due to bad planning on my part i am far from a butcher during the holidays so my only option will probably be vacuum sealed meat.

What do you think about putting the whole prepacked sirloin steak

in the waterbath?

You need to season it first. Open, liberal salt pepper, and put it in a ziplock bag.

Presuming a good scrub on skins pre cooking, and then rub salt, pepper and olive oil on the outside before putting in oven? Skewer thru each potato can help the inside cook a bit faster too, but not necessary

Also 2 parts sour cream to 1 part Mayo

Rest is perfect

Ok, figured seasoning would be an issue. Then i also will cut it into 2" slices.

Also gonna reread http://www.seriouseats.com/2015/06/f...ide-steak.html

Didn't seem like my Costco was selling any prime grade roasts. Maybe they just sold out seeing as I was there on Xmas Eve though? Plenty of prime steaks to select from though.

The choice selections were pretty small and boneless too

Ended up getting one of their pre-seasoned choice roasts because those were a bit bigger than the unseasoned and also bone-in. It's at 100f right now, so should be ready in another couple hours. Excite!

Was inspired by seeing what the Japanese teppanyaki chefs did with the extra fat and trimmings.
In case you don't know, the best trick for any fried rice is to use day old rice. You cook rice and leave it for a day to totally air dry. The measure of epic fried rice from teppanyaki places is if each grain of rice is individual and not clumped up from the starch moist starch when frying it.

Excellent string of posts ElD!

Where did you find Prime bone-in for that price if you don't mind me asking? I'd have bought more/cut into steaks/froze.

on the Weber attempt.
