    Korean bbq ribs, for dinner tonight.  You know, the traditional Christmas meal…

    Always a challenge to nail the paella socarrat given when to pull from the BGE, factor in the 25 minute drive and then the 90 minute hold upon arrival.  But not too bad this evening- (Edit-double wrapped in HDAF and a towel-no oven reheat.)
    On the LBGE (15.5 inch pan recommended by @Little Steven around a decade ago-brings back memories every time) with bomba rice, saffron, some Christmas coloured (nod) veggies, shrimp, sausage, chix and lots of garlic.  Getting ready to declare victory-
    Turned out well given the protracted hold: (And did get the socarrat w/o a burn)
    The dark pieces are sausage. 5 adults crushed it.
    Merry Christmas 🎄!

    You nailed it as usual. I fumbled with paella couple of times over a decade ago, may have to resume chasing the holy grail one day

    @Campbell2N - sorry to hear about the Covid.  But you ate well based on the evidence presented.  Here's to a speedy recovery.  Merry Christmas🎄

    Yes sir.  That is how to enjoy the excuse to debauch right there.  Nice.

    Cajun filets and lobster. Pesto bread. Teriyaki balsamic Brussels sprouts. Spinach and tomatoes. Didn’t get a money shot of the steaks but they were perfect. Rare for my wife. Medium rare for the rest of us. 
    Great looking Christmas dinner, surf and turf is always a winner. Merry Christmas.

    Pesto bread. 
    Outstanding Cook overall, but I'm really curious about the Pesto Bread; deets/recipe?  Looks like a combo of monkey bread/challah/rouladen; Nice!

    @Botch, thanks for asking. My wife and daughter made it. My daughter made some a while back and they attempted to do it again. They weren’t as happy with it this time around although it was quite good. 

    Here is the recipe my daughter suggests. 


    My wife makes the pesto and my daughter figured out how to braid it into the dough. 

    Sorry I don’t have a more specific answer.

    Looks like a great time and excellent eats. I hope the kids are enjoying their newfound membership in the Blue Man Group.

    Christmas Beef Tenderloin with shiitake tarragon sauce.  Always so so good. 

    Part of FAM got COVID so decent amount  leftovers, honestly blew my mind, filet sliders with razor thin onion, Havarti & horseradish/ tarragon / lemon aioli 

    Filet sliders are legit.  I did that tailgating at a TX A&M game when my daughter went there.  It's fair to say that we "won" that region of the parking lot.

    Detroit style pizza here tonight. Haven't done it in a while, and forgot how good this can be.




    Looks great! I have been hammering that recipe recently and honestly, never liked thick pizza before I started making it myself. Even from Buddy’s… Finding brick cheese can be challenging though.

    1/2” Akaushi flat iron steak for man dinner yesterday :smiley: 


    Hope all are having a great holiday season!
    The next time somebody asks how to cook a 1/2" steak, can we show this picture and have @caliking give some guidance - instead of just running the poor bastard off?
    Honestly, that was the best steak I've done in a while. Took it out of the fridge 20 mins prior, salted it, while I got a CI pan screaming hot on the stove. 

    About 90 seconds per side, flipped twice. Threw a pat of HEB's Cajun compound butter in the pan, and called it done. Temped shy of 130F while it was in the pan, some carryover while it rested, but not much since it was a whopping 1/2"!

    FWIW, that was a Heartbrand Akaushi flat iron of 2020 vintage, that surfaced during a recent freezer dive. It was farkin' delicious. I may just "freezer age" steaks from this point on :smiley:

    @caliking - to a non-surgeon's eye that looks like a bit more than 1/2" but males always enhance dimensions. B)  The outcome looked great.
    Regarding Heartbrand beef- I used to be a big fan of the Heartbrand Akaushi briskets...about twice a year they would offer reduced shipping charges (to free) on orders over $100.  Have not seen that in three years.  Over $100 their standard shipping is 25% of the purchase price.  No longer happening here. 
    Beef and Texas-better to be lucky than good any day!

    Made my first Detroit style pizza a few days ago. It was so good!
    Played golf today with a guy that owns a couple pizza restaurants around town and invited me to come by next week.  One of his 3 specialties is Detroit style.   Never had it but looking forward to it.    

    Seeing yours has my interest piqued!
