Beef and Boat

The wifey’s sister and family are in town. 

A local butcher had a beef tenderloin half. Perfect size. Rubbed with some prime rib rub from a previous exchange to give it a little bolder flavor. Waiting to be called to action. 


Used a mandoline to slice potatoes 1/16” thick for scalloped potatoes. I was looking to have more of a mashed potato texture hence the usually thin slices. Boiled in heavy cream and spices, then topped with some fresh grated smoked gruyere to give the “crisp” that the wifey likes. 



Doing some prep work for the evening. 




This is Georgia folks....



Had to pull out the heavy iron to take care of business. B’ham #14 (15”) doing work. #noblackstonerequired



Got the medium rolling with Rockwood and some charred white oak barrel chunks from my favorite birthday hippie @northGAcock





Beef cooked raised direct at 200-225 until 100IT and then ran the temp up to 400 to finish it off. Pulled at 124IT. The medium with a KAB is hot little firecracker. It revs like a Ferrari. 



Potatoes ready and waiting with the wifey approved crisp


The plated pic 



My nieces wanted to go for a boat ride after dinner. The birthday girl wanted to go “real fast”. Pure joy. 





Wrapped up the evening with some birthday cake. 

Thanks for looking.

    That plated pic is most impressive.  Now that is a banquet- I don't recall that far into the past but I assure you I never had any youth B'day banquet like that!!
    And the boat-ride for the win.
    You definitely set the bar way up there.  No pressure for B'day #5.

    Is it dumb that I’m most impressed with the picture of the charcoal bag?  Proof that you grabbed the correct string to separate sides...I can NOT do that.

    I'll be bringing the kids over for their birthdays now!  Just a fair warning.  I'll bring my squirt bottles I guess.

    Appreciate the shoutout on the lump. Havn’t seen it since I aquired about a year and a half ago. Looks like it played an assist roll in a beautiful meal.
