Little SRF and a little Pork Belly

Acn

So I stopped into HMart on Saturday and found that they had completely redone it. Their produce, meat, and seafood departments are now absolutely amazing. We had planned to do drumsticks and a turkey breast, but that got pushed off until yesterday morning, leaving those for SWMBO and SWMBO Jr to eat while I'm in Dallas for the week.

What pushed those off were a package of thin slices pork belly and thin sliced SRF lifter meet, which Canada Beef says is the muscle that lies between surface fat and the rib blade bone cartilage.

I spiced them up a bit, some of the pork belly got a dusting of raging river, some a dusting of Cajun spice, and some of the SRF got some red eye. Most ended up with just salt and pepper though.

I cooked them both direct and relatively hot, although I did the pork belly first, so the beef went over a hotter fire.


Some of the pork belly got a little over charred (you can see the flare up), so next time I'll do that on the raised grid, or just in a CI skillet. The beef was phenomenal though, and we saved some to try cool, it was still outstanding, so I'll probably be back to pick up a few more packs to have on Xmas day with bread, cheese and olives for family to snack on between the big breakfast and big dinner.

Looks good from here.

As a somewhat OT follow up, here are the drumsticks and turkey breast, the drumsticks with only herb salt and pepper, the turkey breast marinated in a mixture of onion, garlic, cilantro, mint, and fish sauce (and maybe some other stuff, SWMBO made the marinade). No cooked pics, by the time they came off we were scrambling to get to the airport on time.
