carne crosta

I haven't cooked a good steak in a few weeks. Found a couple of really nice prime ribeyes at Costco after waiting 1+00-ish for entry. One for tonight... another in the freezer for next time (they're big and thick). Zipped through and popped out the other side 0+15 later and >$200 lighter...

Well, our marriage is now old enough to imbibe on its own... CINCHOUSE and I decided to re-up for another year. :crazy: :becky: I started the evening by firing up some more of that El Diablo lump charcoal from Costco. Big fan! Picked up another 40lb bag for $13. This stuff is excellent...

Happy Phriday, Pholks! It's been a good, but busy week out here in the SW USA. I thought I would celebrate the start of the weekend with a bargain bin t-bone from the commissary and a baked potato. After a good scrub down, I gave the tater a light drizzle of EVOO, followed by a heavy-handed...

My usual stuffed mushrooms first made an appearance as we worked on the rest of the meal. The lobsters have to swim a long way to get to Eastern New Mexico, so I picked up a couple of tails from some that were living in the Bahamas. A big ribeye with a 50/50 blend of Carne Crosta and Santa...

Someone had mentioned “Carne Crosta” in another thread and I hadn’t heard of it so I looked it up. Not only did I find a lot of positive feedback, but I also learned that it came from Oakridge BBQ, which I’m very familiar with. I decided to run a test. I souse vide a prime ribeye to 125F...

Last night was a hoot. Our Purple Witch was nearly more excited about handing out candy to the bigger kids than she was about collecting her own! This afternoon, I stopped by the Commissary and picked up a couple of ribeyes and a couple of russet potatoes. The potatoes got a good wash, a...

After realizing there is a Beefsteak TD, I had to post this (even though it is also an answer to a question in another thread). One of the local grocery stores sells the butt end of the tenderloin for 6.99/lb. I can harvest 4 filet mignons from it, and then I have two pieces of tenderloin...

Thank heavens for a greatly appreciated weekend! Kicked it off last night with an Oakridge Santa Maria/Carne Crosta ribeye, stuffed mushrooms, grilled asparagus, and a sweet potato. Today, I broke out a rack of spare ribs and some 4 Rivers Smokehouse rub from Stingerhook. This stuff is...

2.2# tomahawk w carne crosta (much appreciation to the Brethren for the fantastic recommendation) and additional S&P. Indirect about 235* took about 1:40 to get to 118*. Used Weber briqs and B&B lump. Took it off and added some EVOO since that is recommended w carne crosta. Got a raging...

Things have been crazy and I haven't been on here much but that hasn't stopped me from doing a few good cooks over the last week or so. First up - 2 1/2" bone in chops from the hog we butchered. These were hit with Meat Church's Honey Hog (dang this stuff is good). The same night I...

I did a little Sunday night steak cook last night, this time a hanger rubbed up with Oakridge BBQ's Carne Crosta. I've used this rub a couple times so far and really enjoy it. I should have got the good camera out for this cook but I didn't. Here it is trimmed, tied back together and rubbed...
