I did some long overdue male adulting last night

vb4677

SWMBO is with her brother's this week, so I had a couple of the boys over for some seared bovine slices.

Sous vide @ 129F for :90.  LBGE @ 550-600F.  Also SV'd the corn with plain butter @185F for :30 the night prior, then tossed them into the bath with the steaks @ 129F for :30 to warm up.  Maitre de butter was S&P, thyme and some garlic that had been sautee'd in bacon drippings... and of course I included the drippings in the butter!  And then it was all tied together with some grape juice.

Gotta have those nights. Makes the days worth it. 

Dont know how I feel about bovine slices. Don't think it's gonna pass through the marketing dept without revisions.

I just figured OP's phone auto-corrected his intended word.  I didn't know I had to google it until you said this.  I feel older and older every day.

Damn- My friends get the Alexander Valley. We keep the Napa for ourselves

I'll take an invite to your boys night any time

Did my first sous vide BGE combo the other night with a 16oz ribeye and it turned out a whole lot better than I thought it would.

I want steak again! 129 looks just right!

Awesome all the way around. I've got to find better friends. They don't even bring the cheap ****. All they want to know is if they can bring some ice.

I gotta admit, I felt very regal when I got up the next morning.  Just kept grinning about how well it turned out.

Silver Oak is the finest wine I have ever had.

129F seemed about perfect for the thickness and cut.  The cool thing about this time - I wanted to go more than an hour sous vide, so I planned on :90.  The second friend was about :20 to :25 minutes late - so they went closer to 2 hours and I was never worried about 'em.  And that hot of a fire on the LBGE put a nice crust on, and warmed up to perfect.

Wish i had been invited. Looks like my kind of night.

If this is your way of making sure your wife never leaves again I'd say mission accomplished. That looks just wonderful.
