50th Anniversary Dinner - need your wisdom

Pepper stout beef?  Maybe a little low class, sloppy joe,  school hot lunch-ish though.  A crowd I cook for loves it, and they too are white meat,  leather steak eaters.

So is there any benefit to buying a tenderloin this weekend and aging it for a couple weeks?  @JustineCaseyFeldown @bgebrent @Little Steven?

Yeah you will get some drying and enriched flavour. Depending on where you get the meat it may have some wet aging already and that will help.

a few options 

1) Pork Crown roast.  The presentation is magnificent

2) Tomahawk steaks. Extra thick one bone per and for that count you can do 5 to 7 of them and it should be plenty. Again presentation is off the charts plus you can make some med rare and some burnt to accomdate those who like their beef ruined


3) prime rib roast.  Med rare in center, burnt ends for well done

4) whole pork tenderloins marimated in soy, ginger garlic mix with hoisin rub. Cut chops grillside and cook those up. This is the big pork loin not the little tenderloins


As to sides, twice baked taters on egg taste like steak, roasted veggies such as cabbage, zuchini, mushrooms, onions and broccoli and have that serve as the bed upon which you place the whole roasted pork loin, crown roast or the tomahawk ribeyes

Now if you want to knock it out of the park, and it has worked everytime for me, make pizza on bge and get a case of incredible red wine.   


Dont laugh i made it for a friends party two years ago and people are talking about it today.  Buff mozz with tomato, speidini and a mix of margherita, sausage, a d veggie pies was so impactful people went nuts over it.  Follow varasanos dough techniques and you cant screw it up....

If they only eat overcooked beef, then go with brisket. Doing a beef loin/tenderloin will just make you upset. Now if you go with a pork loin/tenderloin, then everyone could be happy. A regular pork loin is good. A stuffed pork loin is even better.

That or Chicken Ballotine, you can prepare it a day or two in advance, cooks fairly quick and makes for a nice presentation.  You get 1 or 2 servings with brown meat and the rest is white meat.  You can stuff with whatever you want.
