Couldn't decide wheather to eat out or cook. Why eat out when you can cook something better at 1/4 the cost? ;) Picked up some large shrimp,mushrooms and lamb from WalMart and couple ribeyes from Brookshires. I normaly don't buy meat from Wal Mart. All the cow and pig is "inhanced". "IE shot up with so much tinderizer and fluid it only remotely resemblizes meat." However they hve been getting in some lamb that is unpresserved at a great price. I have had the chops which were great so tonight tryed the "leg stake". OK First the raws.

Not to toot my on horn but people often ask how I cook so much food off my Medium Egg. Simple...prep. I get everything togeather that the WHOLE cook will need b4 I ever light the fire as above. Then I mix my seasoning/marinade and get my meat ready. Hear I have my ribeyes marinating in Moores and DP's Redeye Express. My shrimp all ready shucked and butterflyed in EVOO, Main sea salt, cracked pepper, and oragino. Lamp marinating in equal parts EVOO, white wine vinigar, pinch mint leaves,tarragon,and fresh rosemerry. The Mushrooms ready to toss in the ziplock with EVOO, Tony's Chachere's and a little Redeye.

    Nice!

    I rarely get past the meat...

    I need better organizational skills - or maybe just more will power.

    Ha! Ha!

    Looks great JL. I thought about you this afternoon while I was cooking. While I was running around trying to stay ahead of everything I was cooking, I thought, if I had everything ready like JL before getting the egg ready, I wouldn't be running around like a chicken with hes gead cut off.

    Hey that lamb looks good. I've tried it a couple of times several years ago and couldn't get a taste for it. I think I need to try it again cause ya'll make it look so good.
    Is there any do's and don'ts that I need to be aware of when cooking it?

    The stake was good tasting but tough cooked fast like I did. I you want to try lamb again get some chops. They have the marbling in them that keeps them tinder and moist. Brush with EVOO and salt and pepper with some fresh rosemerry. Cook like a mini ribeye. Just don't over cook. Heaven! :whistle:

    JL - great cook, again! Where could you have gotten a meal THAT good if you had gone out - not to mention the price? :ohmy:

    Question: How do you keep things warm while the latter items cook? That seems to be my biggest weakness when cooking several things for the same meal.
  • Great looking meal JL!!

    Beautiful cook! I really enjoy your pictures of the ingredients at the start.

    I think that lamb steak is a bargan! It is great seared and then braised, but I even like it medium rare.

    Just out of curiosity, why did you bother with a pan for the shrooms?

    Bob not sure I understand the question but I think you mean why not just toss them on the grill direct reather than the Stainless pan? I did the shrimp in the pan first so I didn't have to worry about them falling threw the grill and since it was all ready dirty just tossed them in it also.

    One of the harder things to do BUT having things that cook fast for the whole meal helps as well as have everything ready to go one right after the other. Cooked stakes 1st as thicker and wife likes her's done and takes longest. Next rip open the bag with lamp and cook med rair, toss on shrimp for 3 or 4 min. then take it all in while the shrooms are cooking. Cover it all in foil as soon as it comes off the Egg. If temps outside below 60 I take in as soon as it comes off. Also if going to be more than 15 min or so between cooks put it in the oven at 175.
