Mama's Boys Talkin' Cookin'

I made a ribeye for my brother in law, I was dating his sister, my wife at the time. So I wanted to impress her and him so I look good to her. I get 3 nice 1 1/2 inch steaks. Cook them to medium, used a thermometer to make sure they were perfect. Took them off the grill, put half a stick of butter on all three in the oven that was just warm. I was young and very proud of myself for cooking the thick ribeyes to near perfection. This mother[uck fay]er cuts into it and asks if I can cook it well done. I put it back on the grill and cook the shit out of it, give it to him, he says, you got any ketchup? I said get the [uck fay] out.

 

Hey dude, thanks for the invite

 

I grew up when Bonanza on Mt Moriah in memphis was a treat. Used A1 like my dad did.

 

Yeah, I blew it. Next time.

I will add the game was still on while we were there, so a definite risk of illness if eyes settled too long on the screen.

 

Umm, I'm mid-40's and still do this.

 

The soppin Groves boys. Love it.

 

i'd say 9/10 times i ask for a burger medium rare they cook it medium to medium well anyway. restaurants out here are terrified of getting sued. there is a restaurant chain out here that 20 years ago used to cook all their burgers medium rare even though it said medium. it was so rare sometimes that i would ask for medium well so it would be medium. now when i go i order medium rare and they tell me they can only do medium and it comes out medium well to well done. bleh.

 

I don't blame them. I don't want my hamburger medium rare. Too many dangers.

 

the chances of you getting sick from properly treated and cooked beef are pretty damn slim.

 

So wife came home from Costco with a bone-in pork shoulder.

Spent last night trimming the fatcap off and put it in a brine of Apple Cider Vinegar/spice mix with some sugar and a shot of Jack Daniels. Pulling it out and injecting left over brine when I get home and then laying on a rub and letting that sit until Saturday morning.

Then I'm going to smoke it with some apple and hickory wood. Wife is making her family's german potato salad recipe along with some really good cole slaw and macaroni and cheese.

 

sounds awesome. i love pulled pork.

 

is there a holiday I don't know about?

 

Address and time, please?

 

Porkapulloosa this weekend.

 

you go vinegar base sauce? Went to a local place here that had 6 or 7 different sauces all with different bases. One was blueberry. Dude won season 6 of Pit boss and opened a place a mile away. I still like old school vinegar base.

 

For my brine and mop sauce, yeah. I also use a yellow mustard as a base for my rub. It burns off and creates a phenomenal bark.

Only sauce I use on it once it is pulled is cole slaw.

 

I likie making pork nachos. Throw some nacho cheese on there, sauce, jalapenos, lettuce, tomato.

 

pork nachos are great, so is pulled pork chili poured over some cornbread.

 

You’re way more likely to get it from the lettuce

 

I've tinkered with a vinegar, ketchup, molasses base that is pretty good on pork.

It has the tang, tomatoe, and sweet combo. I put a little heat in it as well.

I've cooked several tons of pork shoulder many Chickens and ribs, and a few briskets.

If you get chicken right with a good sauce. It's hard for me to take anything else above that.
