Porkth Of July 2016

It’s been a while since I posted. No, I haven’t quit eating. I had a 2nd kid, which makes it tough to cook fancy meals, and post to blogs. But, I couldn’t skip a Porkth of July, it is a tradition! 2016 was the year of simplicity. Since I got into barbecue, I used every trick in the book. I injected, I rubbed hours in advanced, I let meat come to room temperature, I put fancy liquids in my…

Made some Chicken thigh/legs. Dried the skin with some paper towels, and sprinkled some Kosher salt and pepper. Cooked them hot, but indirectly. Got some great color, and crispy skin. Roasted some peppers too.

The new grill worked great, and the propane charcoal starter was a breeze. The lid holder was really convenient, and the table is a lifesaver. After I was done, cleaning the coals was really simple, and after closing off the dampers, it cooled down much faster than my old grill.

Christening the new grill. Made some Chicken thigh/legs. Dried the skin with some paper towels, and sprinkled some Kosher salt and pepper.

Hamburgers on Pretzel Rolls

After stumbling across a nice recipe for soft pretzels, my brain instantly went to burgers. I’ve covered burgers a bunch of times on here, so I’ll focus on the pretzel rolls. (more…)

It’s been a while since I have updated. I have been still cooking and eating, but haven’t had the time to document any of it. So here is something. Adapted from The Meatball Shop cookbook.

Porkth Of July in August!

Pre trimmed

I’ve had a pork butt in my freezer for a few months now. I expected to cook it on July 4th, for my annual Porkth of July, but things got in the way. So I ended up having to cook it in August. It took 3 days to defrost, and the weather wasn’t looking great. I wasn’t going to let that stop me.

National Hamburger Week / Month is back again! Now with Marisa pregnant, and having to eat her meat atleast medium-well, I had to think fast. How can I make a burger still delicious, yet still cooked all the way through. Boom, Juicy Lucy’s. Yes, made famous in Minneapolis, and covered on every single show on the Food Network, Travel Channel, and Cooking Channel. Essentially a burger with melty cheese in the middle.

I divided the meat into 4 to make 2 burgers

The first step to any good burger, is good ingredients. So I decided to grind the meat myself. I didn’t want to make a big production out of grinding it, and adding in different cuts, etc. So I decided to just go with 100% Chuck. If it’s good enough for Bobby Flay, it’s good enough for me. I already covered grinding meat in a previous post. Don’t cheap out on the buns and cheese either. EDIT: I got lazy, and bought ground chuck from the butcher. It was from a butcher, and was freshly ground. Don’t hate.

Then I smashed each one with a pot and some wax paper.

I separated the meat, and pounded out 4 thin patties. These will be my beautiful cheese enclosures. The trick is to make sure they are sealed. The last think you want is for the cheese to explode while on the grill.

I added a chunk of some good Wisconsin Cheddar into the middle.

Covered with the other patty and molded into one.

After adding my cheese, I sealed the burger up with the other smashed patty. I made sure I didn’t see any yellow shining through. I knew i would have to be extra careful when flipping these bad boys.

Then Fired up the grill. I started the peppers first, so they could get a char and soften up.

I fired up a chimney of coals. I oiled up my grates, and tossed some peppers on first. They were sitting in some oil, salt and pepper for an hour. I gave them a nice char, and then put them on the cool side with the cover closed to soften up. After a few minutes I gently put the burgers on.

The cheese started to poke out a bit while cooking, but I avoided the cheese explosion.

I figured these would have to be one-flippers, since I had to be gentle. After I saw a nice crust forming on the bottom I flipped them. I saw a little cheese poking through, but nothing too messy. After a few more minutes I pulled everything off.

Oozing with cheese.

And there you have it. My finished Juicy Lucy’s. Next time I will make the burgers a bit bigger, and put some more cheese inside. They definitely could have used a bigger hunk of cheese inside. But all in all, they were delicious.

4.20.14 Easter Brined BBQ Chicken

So I haven’t posted in a while. I was busy making something else, a baby. Marisa and I are expecting our first child in June. I’m not going to get into the details of how I made that. But I did brine and grill a whole chicken for Easter.

I made a simple brine of water, salt, sugar, chili powder, onion powder, and some peppercorns. I let the brine soak in for…
