The BBQing, Grillin, Smoking Mega Thread

[Edmond]

Have been called less accurate names.

Lomo Al Trapo is a Colombian dish that involves wrapping a wine soaked cloth around a salt encrusted tenderloin cooked directly on hot coals. The butcher didn’t have a tenderloin yesterday so I decided to modify with a sirloin.

start by slicing the sirloin into a thin(ish) strip. Flatten slightly with a kitchen hammer, and then layer with diced mushrooms. (I didn’t cooked enough).

Next soak a kitchen cloth in red wine. I used cask wine, similar to Mendy’s Mont Saint Clair. Then later a bed of sea salt and covered in a steak seasoning of choice. Then roll tightly and tie up with string.

This wrapped parcel then gets thrown onto the hot coals for 30 mins each side and rested 10.

And with the magic of time…

Served with tators (you may have noticed them in the Q earlier, and a chimichurri sauce I made while the food was cooking.

[hallelujah]

That looks great.

And that's really saying something for a Colombian dish.

[DrWilly]

The little guy was hoping to get some while it was resting…

[DrWilly]

Took me a minute

I've never been to argentina the furtherest I got was Honduras before having to backtrack to the states due to a lack of fun vouchers but I've heard Argentina and also Brazil they are all about the BBQ ing and smoking. In central America not much so. Infact I slept with 1 eye open.

the wine stain was the least of the clothes problems. It was burned, and caked with salt. Threw it away afterwards.

Necessity is the mother of invention and all that. Yesterday half way through cooking a roast beef dinner I realized that the damn oven wasn’t working. A quick check of the knobs and buttons, even checked the fuses in the house revealed nothing other than my limited knowledge of things electrical.

So swap the potatoes and carrots to the stove to boil them. What about that joint of sirloin?

Crank the grill heat up and let’s see if I can roast this.

I used a thermometer to aim for an internal temperature of 145 or medium rare.

Knocked up a quick gravy on the stove. I was pretty a happy with the results. In hindsight, I could have roasted the spuds as well. But then again the kid likes mash.

[Edmond]

^ Yum.

That would be food-coma inducing for sure.

imgur on the PC has changed and you now need to upload and then edit the size after.

So the pics might be a bit big.

Let's see.



A few evening pork kebabs for Eddo & Edith.

Edweena likes doing her own shabu thingamajigaree.







Caesar salad and a bowl of 'carbonara noodles' for Edweena (noodles cooked with a beaten egg) were en route at this stage.


All in all a nice Wednesday evening on the veranda.

Post them up when cooked. We did up a nice big rack last night. I wont post up the photo now but we can compare later. I used bigger St. Louis style ribs. Didnt use sauce either but a rub.

[Edmond]

Post them up when cooked...... compare later

What is it with these guys, compare this, compare that.... always feeling challenged by the younger, bigger, more successful male.


We're doing them up for around 6pm with some potato salad and corn on the cob. I'm sure that yours were fantastic, and much better in both taste and appearance. You can sleep at ease 5555

[aging one]

Oh good we can compare our recipes for potato salad.

Makes me happy you accept what the results will be.

[Edmond]

No challenge, that is in your head as you are in a tizzy. Eddie, Edwina, and Edith dont exist, I know this will be hard for you to take, but they are figments of your imagination as is your villa and exercise regime. Sorry your "lass" will be moping around your house. We have an active day having new sod laid at our "castle".

Sure diddy doodle. :-)


After I photoshopped in the arm of some kid I found on the internet while pretending to be in me villa.

[Edmond]

Oh yes.



Lightly marinaded and rubbed. Can't beat a rack o' organic.



Locked n loaded.

E+E out at their dance class, might as well crack open an icy cold Singha..... lemon soda 0 sugar 0 kcal, retreat to the sofa and see what me vegan buddies on the vegan forums think.


Someone might have a little dance for me below.
