I'm with you, just had one of the best fillet steaks I've had in ages recently... but next week I'm ordering some A5 Japanese Wagyu from a new butchers as a prep for Xmas so looking forward to that.

Formed it in a pan then plopped it on tray after setting an hour in the fridge. Saw one video where it went directly on the rack. Smoked it about 3 hours at 235. The spuds went in for the last hour. Turned out pretty good!

Nice Larry.

Just some homemade beef stew here tonight, but man was it good and the house smells great!

[Baco Noir]

A fabulous dinner tonight. Reverse seared Bison tri-tip, grilled asparagus, and potatoes with a 2014 BV private reserve Cabernet Sauvignon.

Dinner with friends in Tijuana last night. They are friend's with Chef. He personally prepared our salad and three special dishes for us to share. Everything was wonderful!

[Baco Noir]

Holy cow! That looks amazing Larry!!!

Larry, you definitely have the Tijuana connections, everything looks fantastic!!

[trippinjimmy]

Instapot black truffle, pancetta, pea and portabella “risotto,” reverse cast iron seared and rosemary butter basted filets, grilled corn, and some Costco Normandy veggie blend, you know, to class it up.

Looks amazing, cast iron filets are the ticket, yours were cooked to perfection, great combination with the risotto, top-shelf ingredients. You, Roger, and Larry are taking it over the top, congrats to you guys. Big fun being a part of this thread.

[trippinjimmy]

Thanks. If you’ve never made risotto in the instapot, you should check it out. It’s about 80% there and beats slaving over a pot stirring and putting half a ladle of broth in every 3 minutes.

My Daughter is in school at U of M, we took her out to dinner tonight.

I will mention it to my Wife. She was born and raised in a 300 seat high-end Italian restaurant, she tackles that and polenta like I make toast.

Catching up here...

My wife makes amazing risotto as well. It takes a lot of love, but man is it amazing. When she makes it, my job it’s to make sure the protein is ready on time too. If she has to hold it for me to finish, it gets gummy.

Just picked up 10 lbs of stone crab claws from my guy.

Grabbed a few 100% grass-fed start to finish tenderloins. My wife adds truffle oil to her marinade and then finishes hers off with truffle salt. I prefer mine with a Point Reyes Blue Cheese cap.

Are those strips below the filets? My God that marbeling is unreal! Your wf puts mine to shame!

I didn’t shoot too many today, but we had filet, truffle parm potatoes, grilled asparagus, and bourbon barrel aged maple syrup
and butter basted acorn squash. Should have shot some more of those because they were crazy good!

That’s awesome - I have to order those online…actually, I noticed my wf has been getting their meat out of the country believe it or not. Think it happened shortly after Amazon bought them. They cut my meat counter in half and put shelving where the rest of the good stuff used to be.

There’s a better one about an hours drive, but I don’t think they have snf meat either. Strange cuz I’m just a few states north of you.

The meat is from a market called Plum, best of the best, unfortunately, sky-high prices too!! Since Bezos bought Whole Foods their meat counter has been downgraded tremendously, no more custom orders, and Managers can't order special cuts, now it's like your average grocery store. Our Whole Foods is still great for seafood, cheese, produce, I guess everything but higher quality meat.

A few years back, I appreciated the signs telling me what American farm my meat came from…I think it was about a year ago I noticed on a brisket I bought that it was from new zealand I think. Makes ya wonder just how “grass fed” it is if it’s cheaper to import in from halfway around the world.
