Yeah. This morning was one of them breakfast sandwiches, all done on the griddle. Grilled LARGE sandwich size SWEET Portuguese-English Muffin (Do you call them "crumpets?") with a half pound of thick slab bacon and two eggs over easy topped with a slice of Muenster cheese. Orange juice and coffee.

The mutts each got a scrambled egg with bacon. Clyde prefers his scrambled eggs with some ketchup on top. Snooper likes hers plain.

I had an older friend, he passed away at a young age back in '79, who spent 2 years in Alaska while in the Air Force. I nearly strangled him on several occassions when he wouldn't stop talking about the great salmon fishing and how FANTASTIC fresh caught Alaska salmon tasted.

Pretty much the same, Winne. Ex-mother-in-law was from Ellesmere Port.

She did a far better job making crumpets than she did making daughters.

Braised Beef Brisket
Americas Test Kitchen recipe

Ingredients:

2 tbs Veg Oil
2 lb Beef Brisket
2.5 lbs yellow onion
2 tbs brown sugar
6 medium cloves garlic finely minced
1 tsp tomato paste
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup of dry red wine
1 cup beef broth
1 cup chicken broth
4 bay leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 tbs cider vinegar

Set oven to 300˚ rack at center of oven

Salt and Pepper brisket generously

Heat oil in Dutch oven to smoking and brown brisket well about 5 min both sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium and add onions finely sliced, brown sugar and 1/4 tsp salt. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom. Stir freequently until the onion is softened and starting to brown bout 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and tomato paste. Then add the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the wine and cook until almost dry about 1 minute. Stir in beef and chicken broth, toss in the bay leaves, and thyme. Return the brisket to the Dutch oven with the juices, cover and bake 2.5 to 3 hours.

Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and tent with foil and let it rest for 15 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs from the sauce. Stir in the vinegar and salt and pepper the sauce to taste.

I'm going to saute additional onions green pepper and poblano peppers on the side until soft but not mushy. Then I'll add the sauce form the dutch oven.

I haven't made this before so I don't know what other modifications I will make to the sauce.

The brisket will be thin sliced, cut across the grain.

I'll update this in a few hours after dinner.

NOTE:

The flavor is good. I added extra course ground black pepper.
If you add the green and poblano peppers at the end add then with 20min left on cook time.

The meat was drier then I was hoping for. Ether my oven temp is off, the meat was in to oven to long or the heat was to high. Next time I will bake at 280˚ F and check internal temp at two hours. The dryness may be a temperature issue, to high and you drive the moisture out of the meat.

I put some of my favorite rub on a chunk of pork shoulder, and have it on the grill (in-direct heat) at about 250°.


My favorite pork rub is copied from BBQ pitboys.

1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon salt
1 Tablespoon paprika
1 Tablespoon chili powder
½ Tablespoon cumin
½ Tablespoon granulated garlic
½ Teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ Teaspoon black pepper

Slow pork, mmmmm mmmmm How long you grilling for. The rub sounds good.

Funny you should ask. LOL
I guess that piece was smaller than I thought. After about 2 hours, I just checked it...and it was already 185-190 in the middle. It's now sitting on the counter, in the kitchen....resting for a few minutes.

I have started leaving the pork in a roasting pan, on the grill. When that juice mixes with those spices, I think it turns into magic....and I have to drizzle a little of it on the meat after I pull it apart.
(You can still get a dry "bark", on ½ to ¾ of it.)

I can only take so much dry bark.
