Blue Gartr Meal Time: Bacon optional? Bacon required.

[SamanosukeShiva]

Gonna be making pastrami again this weekend, this time I'll be using both smoker and sous vide. Gonna be about 4 hours in smoker and then 8-12 hours sous vide. Recipe wise I'll just be following traditional pastrami recipe, except the "wrapped" portion of the recipe is going to be replaced by sous vide. The meat is brining as we speak, will post pics of results/progress.

If anyone interested in the pastrami brine recipe, I've used this recipe with great success before.

1 Gallon water
350 grams kosher salt
225 grams granulated sugar
42 grams curing salt #1 (pink salt)
8 grams pickling spice
90 grams brown sugar
60ml honey
5 garlic cloves minced

My wife is awesome. Short ribs and pad si-io.

[Zetanio]

How'd SO do those short ribs?

[SamanosukeShiva]

Pastrami turned out well, in hindsight I probably don't need to brine it for 4 days to get the same result.

[Kalmado]

How'd SO do those short ribs?

She said soy sauce, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. I think though there is a packet of some spices she also used. Not sure what.

[Zetanio]

Cooking method? Timing?

Cmon brah.

That looks ridiculous.

Cmon brah.

Shit idk. She throws the meat in a pan with some oil. I play games. Boom I'm eating short ribs. <3 wifey.

[Zetanio]

This is so not helpful

[Kalmado]

She's not up yet (works third shift and works tonight). I'll ask for specifics when she's up.

[Kalmado]

Straight from the chef's mouth. Salt, pepper, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice (a lot), and soy sauce. Cooked on the stove in a cast iron skillet at medium heat in vegetable oil.

Tonight's menu? Siomai.

[Zetanio]

Awesome.

[SamanosukeShiva]

bonus round, hainanese chicken rice, chicken was braised and pulled instead of the regular boiling

[Churchill]

yall need to get an air fryer

[Zetanio]

Nah, I'm good without one. I don't fry shit very often.

[Churchill]

it's more like an oven that works

[Zetanio]

My oven works p well already.

[Tokitoki]

I think about frying things a lot, and then don't.

The idea's good, but I don't have space for more shit I'd use once a year.

[Zetanio]

Heritage pork chop, carrots and apples.



Post sous-vide 145 for 70 minutes. No spices or anything



Salt, pepper, garlic powder and a HARD sear (finally got a good one)



Simples.

[SamanosukeShiva]

speaking of air fryer, I much rather get something like this, a toaster version of combi oven. When I get my own house, I'll probably get a real combi oven though lol.
