What's Cooking?

Fussy and equipment dependent, but I rarely (no pun intended) eat steak out.

When I do, I say medium rare, but that has a huge range, especially from one cook to the next.

At home, I sous vide to 124.5, and then I sear both sides on a smoking hot flat top or a 500+ charcoal egg. Dark pink middle with a nearly black/brown exterior.

                 This,

     I could not tell you the last time I had a steak at a restaurant. I bet 20 years plus or more.  If I did order it would be med rare.  I am of the rps camp. I want control of my meat. Do the sous vide exactly the same or if it is a spur of the moment deal skip the sous vide and onto a blazing hot grill and test with a instant meat thermometer at less than desired temp and let it finish a bit more on counter resting.

These things improved my cooking more than anything.  Sous vide is in the basement with the crock pot and instapot.  I just can’t get full in with sous vide.

Here’s a catch-up:

Scallops, etc. 

Grilled pork loin, some sautéed zucchini and mushrooms:

Flank steak, etc. No grief please, tots are delicious😄

 

Grilled chicken, twice baked tater and a bag salad:

Oh, and couldn't fit this one in the last post. Ms. ness did a baked spaghetti squash last night with marinara and parmesan. This was really tasty! With an Italian sausage link that's been lingerie in the freezer for almost too long. 

Edit: that should say lingering, but I'm letting the autocorrect stand.

I love the concept of lingerie in the freezer. One never wants to be overheated.

I saw a thing once where they did homemade tots. I don't remember the details but I do remember thinking it was a much bigger project than even *I* would attempt. Thanks Ore Ida!
