Corned beef and cabbage

Ok let us set the record set and that there is no corn in this dish at all.  Before refrigeration in order to preserve meat you would rub the meat with salt and some of the kernels of salt could be as big as corn kernels hence corned.
The origins of the dish are something that I […]

Miso beef ribs

Beef ribs oh how I love you.  Tender and juicy and once again underappreciated and undervalued.  Once cooked properly the meat is fork tender and has such beautiful taste and texture.
How could you expand on the joy that is beef ribs well by adding miso of course.  Miso for those who don’t know is a […]

Steak au Poivre (peppercorn crusted steak)

Did you have a stressful day at work?  Do you feel the need to smash something and are on parole and don’t want to go back?  How about light something on fire with reckless abandonment?  If you answered yes to any of these then I have the perfect dish for you. 
I should preface this by […]

Guinness Beef Stew

This dish was amazing of course is it possible for a dish that contains beer, beef, and bacon (the 3 Bs of life) to be horrible?  I think not.
I have started re-reading the French Laundry cookbook and have concluded for being a madman; Thomas Keller has some brilliant and great ideas.  Some of them are […]

Shitake vermouth beef and noodles

It is getting that time of year again where good old comfort food is what everyone is craving. 
While visiting my favorite Amish meat market I picked up some beef arm roasts (along with a freezer full of meat) so I decided to use these for this dish.  Meat turned out really good but feel free to […]

Horseradish and roasted garlic crusted rib roast

I forgot plating pictures for this one but it is pretty standard, cut the meat and serve with the sauce drizzled over top.  I also like to serve with a dallop of prepared horseradish.
For this dish you are going to need:

Standing rib roast (has the ribs still attached) at room temperature (set on the counter for a […]

Chili

Nothing screams good fall night like a spicy dish of chili.  The problem with doing a chili recipe is everyone is going to have a million different variations that they want to add in.  Some people like beans other hate beans.  Some people believe in chocolate, celery, and carrots where others would hang you for […]

Hickory smoked brisket on a WSM (Weber Smokey Mountain)

Brisket is my favorite piece of meat to put on a smoker.  It requires a lot of patience and skill because briskets hate temperature swings and are tempermental pieces of meat.  However, if cooked properly it becomes a very flavorful piece of meat that will melt in your mouth.
First thing we want to do is […]

Beef ribs

If you have hours to wait this is a great dish to prepare and uses an inexpensive piece of meat that is readily available.  
We are going to braise the ribs which is a very low and slow cooking process with liquid in order to break down the tough and nasty beef rib into something that can be […]
