A few simple cooks over the past couple weeks

[Darryl - swazies]

Pepper stout beef, this small hunk had a big tough piece of fat in it but it ended up tasting pretty good.
Some simple horsey sauce on a bun.

 

[Andy Kaminski]

That looks great.
I like what you did with that piece of meat.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Some carnitas taco, had some good avocado and beans…

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Ground chicken burgers and rice, we do these up thinking of tropical taste.
Done on the slate, the MRS likes to chop everything up and mix it all together.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

An easy week night with awesome grilled chops and just some beans.
Cooked these to just a nice 137….nice n juicy.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Some smoked wings, and then make that skin right with some good amounts of oil on the slate.
Matched it up with a bit of pizza…..

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Made smoked wings again this time on the E6…it does a way better job.
I finished these up on the slate too with more oil than last time, the final pics looks like I missed them, these were really good wings.
Smoked babies with them, sorry I missed the final pics, it was a good meal.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

I made a peach, bourbon bbq sauce for the ribs too…..
Tried a new twist on this one by rehydrating chilies….recipe called for chili powder and I don’t buy that anymore.
21 ingredients in this one…..it was a good one.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Spatchcock chicken, this was a real small chicken, I think it cooked in about 35 minutes on the E6.
Plated with the same rice as in previous pics.
Cooked to a 158 in the biggest breast.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

This is just me learning how to use the slate.
Trying new things so we attempted perogies….which really did work out pretty good.
This one was a rich meal, but was tasty for 1 person, and I do enjoy using fried onions a whole bunch.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

On the slate again, made up for the MRS a sweet potato has with ground pork, all the right spices and some good runny egg on top.

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Made some tasty marinated beef tacos.
Made the corn n bean salsa for this one.
The MRS made her guacamole.
The MRS likes the goat cheese….they were massive tacos, must have been making plates with my empty tummy again.

You're eating very well! Great cooking!

 

[Darryl - swazies]

Might have been a bit longer than just the past couple weeks…….more pictures than I thought.

 

[Tim Campbell]

This is epic, Darryl.

This is epic, Darryl.

Thanks Tim....like I have said before I keep things fairly simple but go for good big flavors.
I don't have an hour or so to spend on every single ingredient or side I make to go along with the meals I make so I do the best I can.
That bbq sauce I made for the ribs was an exception....I did it while the ribs were smoking....I wish I had a final pic...but the sauce was something else....I let the sauce firm up 2 times and then put another thin layer on.....even the MRS who doesn't eat much sauce really had a liking for it.
I read about 10 recipes on peach bourbon bbq sauce and took real close to one of them and made a few small adjustments to that one.
If it had crappy ingredients in it and would store for months in a jar people would come looking for it I would like to think!

Those eggs are perfect imo. What's your technique?

S L A T E................THAT IS ALL!!!!

lol, just pushing you a bit more there Tim........
It took me a bit to figure out how to get the eggs the way I want on the flat top....these were just cracked and spiced...
Then I guess what do you call it basted??????
Water applied to the oil on the grill and covered and letting the steam cook the egg.........you can get too much water, or not enough........
But they cook well with a couple tries if you are new to it.
