NSFW Christmas dinner cooking thread

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

Cooked to 135. I would stop at 120 if you're cooking for yourself or other rare meat lovers. Overall I'd skip the whole Wellington thing and just roast the tenderloin plain, the extra layers don't add all that much outside of looking fancy. Still more tender than a crockpot roast and more delicious.

My dad has always bought it at Nelson Grocer up in Oakland Ne. They make it in house. Curious how do you cook yours?

We get it in Wausa.

My wife makes it in a saucepan with just a little water

Got about 12 lbs of Tomahawk ribeyes.. Going to sear them on my infrared searer and finish them in the smoker..

Having these tomorrow for the first time ever. Looks like everyone adds a shit ton of butter at the end while resting it

I would reverse sear those babies. Smoke first to 100 degrees then sear hard to 120 if you want medium rare. It will climb another 10 degrees after taking them off

I melt butter and mix with the seasoning.. I'll brush on when I flip them and while they rest.

I wouldn't say I do a shit ton though

Went to Sam’s today and the wife relented…bought a prime rib roast. Boneless so it’s basically a rib roast right? Gonna make it after new year because the younger daughter is out of town next week for practice and travel with Husker WBB. Will let you know how it turns out. Going to oven roast because I’m a poor without a smoker…

I noticed the “L” on yore forehead.

Prayers sent……😎

Where do you get these Tomahawks?

“Just Good Meats” has them, fwiw.

[BBTown Bomber]

I agree.

Smoke a Brisket, roast a Prime Rib, grill a Ribeye.

I like trans porn but with beef I’m binary.

Where does Midget porn come into play here?

[BBTown Bomber]

I usually will sear it on my grill and smoke it to finish it. But I only do that with these tomahawks.

A regular ribeye I will just grill.

There is those people who use cast iron skillets on steaks and I guess I'm not that fancy

Seared two (beef) filets tonight in the cast iron skillet (in the kitchen) and finished them in the oven. A little peppercorn gravy sauce, twice-baked taters, a few asparagus spears and a very nice red blend that came from a client.

Bout to get balls deep in a beef Wellington. Been dry brining the tenderloin for 2 days.

Tell me about “dry brining” the tenderloin.

What's the plan? Bought a small prime rib roast and found a whole frozen pheasant I'm going to do something with. First time cooking pheasant, should be interesting. Trying not to not overcook my beef like I did with the Wellington last year.

 

[BluesBucksNHuskers]

We’re going the seafood route this year. Oysters on the half shell, yellowtail sashimi, crab dip, then bluefin steaks with crab legs.

Cant fucking wait
