Pig Candy and Steaks

Jeffersonian

Holy cow, you guys didn't tell me how good pig candy was. We wolfed down two pounds of it before dinner.

First batch:


Second batch:


Then we had the steaks and grilled veggies, but no one was too terribly hungry:

Looks like another great cook.I had the same problem earlier.I filled up on abts and didn't leave room for the ribs That pig candy is great,huh?

Oh yeah, porky, sweet and then the heat. We could have kept the steaks in the fridge and just eaten that.

Jeffersonian

That's a large, JL, with a gasket crying out for mercy and replacement. I love that grill pan.

Nice cook, man. Those are some big ol' steaks you did. Everything looks yummy! I'm thinking about doing some pig candy--got some thick sliced bacon on sale today at the grocery, so I bought two packs.

Jeffersonian

Ouch, prime steaks coming out tough? If they weren't medium well or well when you cut into them, I'd have a chat with the butcher. Did you let them come to room temperature before searing?

It was my first run at pig candy and I was thrilled with the result. I couldn't fine a grid at Walmart, so I just used the Egg grate and it worked fine. I did burn a couple of pieces of the first batch, but got the hang of keeping everything within the footprint of the drip pan on the second and the results were far better.

Don't know if this will work but this was my post a few days ago. It is addictive.
