The BBQing, Grillin, Smoking Mega Thread

Salmon. Wild, of course.

I would not bring wild salmon all the way to Willys BBQ. A nice bottle of bourbon would suffice.

Shouldn't you be posting in the bean thread or something? You Brits wouldn't know a good steak if it bit you in the ass/arse.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the one and only steak that I cooked over the summer and posted on here, with a blue cheese sauce, which even Willy, king of the barbecue, greened me for.

Understandably, it being served with a sauce might have been a bit much for you cavemen yanks.

Sauces are for frogs and fairies or both.

[hallelujah]

I have updated the bean thread at your request.

Lol,the surrender monkeys even invented a moniker for the gay gravy cook, saucier.

[BLD]

Wankers eh. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Backspit is a French canuck AND a Saucier

Aren't you half Jockish, BLD?

What do they call the deep fat fryer in Scotland?

King?

[BLD]

That's just for the Mars bars.

Sourced some South African Boerwors

Another weekend, another BBQ.

Started in the morning with a dry rub on a few kilos or rump and rib eye.

After grilling, let them rest.

Slice and serve.

Add a homemade chimichuri sauce and sides included loaded baked potato (done in foil on coals), boerwoers, Indonesian fried chicken, and salad.

Washed down with some beers, wine and craft G&Ts

Looking good Willy! A little too done for my liking, but I am sure you enjoyed it.

Great looking food Willy.

[Edmond]

Great mix of flavours there fo' shure.

100% agreed, but cooking for a crowd that preferred medium.

Have you ever tried to convert those heathens? When I am in the same situation, I will usually cook a couple steaks to medium rare, and then I slice them up and offer them a slice of the more done cut side by side. I have been able to convert some folks that way.

[DrWilly]

yep, slowly slowly.

Even my family prefer medium.

*sigh*

Agreed DW. Always hard to cook for a general audience. It only works when each will have a steak. Then it's just about grill timing. But large hunks you have to find a balance. Most I have found will eat medium. To rare and people get weird like it was just sliced off the cow, well done people complain about how it was like chewing shoe leather and blame the Grill Master. I always error on Medium.

This was Christmas in Dallas a few years ago courtesy of my relative.







The people who wanted it well done took the ends and the rest was ours, obviously pinker the closer to the centre you got. I asked him how he knew how long to cook a piece that big and he just said it was down to experience.

After a while you get a feel for it, and it is a touchy-feely thing too.

What's wrong with medium though?

I veer between medium rare and medium, but I don't think any of those harm the taste.

My mum cooks a steak for 25 minutes low and slow . It tastes like chewy metal when she has finished, but if she was ever presented with a medium steak, she'd send it right back.

Your family are douing ok.

[Topper]

Looks great Willy

[bsnub]

What's wrong with medium though?

Flavor literally goes to shit after medium rare.

She should order an old boot and not a steak.

[hallelujah]

an old boot.

That's no way to talk about my mum!



Honestly, her food is criminal. It's worth a thread of its own on the stuff I've seen over the years.

I disagree with you on the flavour of a steak. I agree that after medium you might as well order a burger though.

[bsnub]

It is ok, my mum was a pretty bad cook, but I think you would like her roasts. They were loaded with gristle and just like an old boot. You would feel right at home.

I knew that you would, but we all know you are a heathen.
