    Nice bark on that one!
    Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    Impressive $$ shot right there.  Delivered quite a ring as well. 
    Deets on the cook-beef grade, post-trim weight, cook temp and time, finish temp when you nailed the feel,  FTC duration?  
    Beyond the above, any key tricks you would like to share?

    Of course! SRF Black grade. 18lbs post trim. Post oak wood. Started at midnight, and cooked around 220-230 all night/day. Wrapped in butcher paper at around 165. Pulled at around 198 and wrapped and rested for roughly 90-120 minutes before diving in. 

    All in all was my longest cook taking roughly 16 hours, and didn’t surpass 200 in the flat, but probed like butter. Turned out delicious!!

    Pistachio crusted pork tenderloin with a white wine cream sauce, my version of Nola’s potatoes au gratin.  Came out pretty good!


    Meant to say earlier that this looks ridiculously good.

    I love the very causal mention of garlic, as if it was an afterthought.
    to be honest, it was. Had 3-4 grated cloves leftover from pizza trials (last night; dark outside; no pics) so threw them in.

    Actually paused for a nanosecond to ask myself, " would garlic work in this?", and then almost passed out from laughing so hard.

    @Leopoldstoch - many thanks for the info.  Livin large right there and well deserved.
    And the key piece that all should take away-the feel for the win.  198*F on this SRF beauty when victory was declared.

    @dmchicago that looks many  levels above what I’ve known as manicotti.

    Picked this up at the local butcher shop in Melbourne on Saturday. "Full Blood Japanese Australian Chuck Steak", think that is the legalese labeling required since it can't technically be called Wagyu. Done with the cleanup after the Minimax clean burn so I'm ready to put this on when the baked potato in AF is about ready. @lousubcap - comments on the cook would be appreciated. It is a .95 lb piece of meat and expensive, but not as much as the SRF offerings there.


    Just got here.  I'm guessing around 1 inch or 2.54 cm's thick.  I would go with a few quick flips (around 60 seconds per flip-eyeball the sear) on a hot grill or cast iron skillet. Somewhere in the 450-500*F range.  Salt (dry brine) a few hours or over-night (max) and go from the fridge straight to the cook.  Pull when a few degrees below your preferred temp but there are many here who can offer in sights and Google will have more.
    If conflicted go with the above.  It works, at least with 3/4 inch A5 wagyu steak.  FWIW-

    @lousubcap - Thanks for your insights. I pretty much did that. The cut piece as a test showed a little to rare to it went back on for two flips. The fat down the middle didn’t render like the other fat so I cut that out and enjoyed the rest.

    No pictures, just an observation.  A few weeks ago I started making gravy and pan sauces from all the juices in the sous vide bags.  Tonight I sous vide some chicken thighs, sauced'em and put them under the broiler.  I made a fantastic sauce from the juice in the bags.  Stupid simple, and yet elevated the entire meal.  Now I am sad about all the amazing flavors I have thrown out over the years.  I have no idea why I didn't try this before.

    Lookin' good @texaswig !

    How do the crackers come into play? Do they get some smoke too, or just topped with the bacon after its done?
