Yeah those strip steaks I posted back there were about 1.5” thick. I didn’t time them or anything, just went by look, flipping every so often until I had a perfect, brown surface and they were firm as I would like. Then I put them on their ends to sear the fat. The time ended up about 15 minutes total which is pretty standard with a single flip.

I was always a single-flipper but I am now converted. My steaks are consistently better and more evenly cooked. I also find that you never have to worry about charring—many times on a single flip cook, I would end up flipping earlier than I wanted because the fire was simply too hot for the meat, then the whole thing is off anyway.

On the subject of steak, here is another strip grilled and flipped repeatedly. Total cooking time 20 minutes. It was goddamn delicious.

If I'm fukkin flipping a steak repeatedly for 20 minutes, I'd expect the sear to be a lot more even than that.

The flipping was only about 10-12 minutes of it but ok

You’re right, it’s a fair criticism. I would expect a more even sear no matter how much flipping was happening. Still tasted great and was cooked perfectly throughout, but other steaks done the same way have indeed had a more even sear. I think it was a question of too little charcoal and/or delaying getting the meat on until it had gotten too low.

Christmas Dinner 2017

Picked up a few recipes on a trip to Greece, a few more from the amazing French Laundry cookbook by Thomas Keller, some from Gordon Ramsay, Michel Troisgros and others and a few of my own devising. Lots of fun to make everything, and I really like pulling out all the stops at least once a year.

Took about 11 hours of prep and 4 hours to eat everything and drink four bottles of good paired wines.

Inspired by the trip to Greece; first amuse of hazelnut with shrimp and rosemary


Second amuse of pickled oyster, cucumber cappellini and *fake caviar. (Thomas Keller recipe)


First course; carrot puree with citrus confit, pan-fried spinach with sesame oil and lemon confit (recipe by Michel Troisgros)



Second course: Salmon parfait, cucumber 'soup' and tomato jelly with cream, chervil and *fake caviar (Alain Passard recipe)



Third course: Black and white sesame seed coated tuna with beetroot puree, spiced orange jellies and salad leaves. Inspired by a wonderful trip to Greece.



Fourth course: Pan fried foie gras with armagnac-flambéed granny smith apple and chocolate brioche, covered with fresh-shaved black truffle. (own recipe)



Fifth Course: Pan-roasted duck breast with cauliflower and thyme puree, sage sauce and chantarelle mushrooms. Shaved some more black truffle on after but forgot to take a pic. (own recipe)



Sixth course: Roe deer fillet with red wine sauce and braised shallots and squash. Only recipe that didn't quite work as the sauce split quite badly. (Thomas Keller recipe)


Seventh Course: Cheese plate. Clockwise; camembert soaked in calvados, young goats' cheese with truffle, Saint Augur blue cheese and Brie de Meaux



Eighth and Final Course: Granny Smith apple and vanilla butterscotch, prunes soaked in armagnac and Greek yoghurt. (Gordon Ramsay)



Also an hour to do the washing up because no dishwasher.

wow

I didn’t see where any chicken was added, sorry. It sounded like turkey soup with the meat stewed off the bones in a pressure cooker. But it makes sense reading it again and looks good either way.

I presume it was a roast turkey carcass? I usually fry turkeys, or smoke them. The resulting stock is very strong, and would overwhelm any chicken and noodles I put in it. I use it for turkey gumbo usually, which is pretty robust.

Made some beef pho yesterday. It turned out okay...just missing something. The flavor profile was there, just missing depth. Has anyone made it before? Tips? I used 3 lbs of marrow bones, 1 lb of shank/shin bones and meat, and 1.5 lbs of oxtail for the broth (5 quarts water), 1 star anise, 1 cinnamon, which was close to but not exactly in line with the recipe I was following (Charles Phan, from the Slanted Door). Kenji’s recipe is similar, but a bit heavier on the spices and aromatics. Broth looked good though, nice and clear with a good fattiness.

I took some pictures but it wasn’t much to look at (bowls were too small and crowded).

Pho seems like something not worth the time and effort when you can just order it from an viet restaurant and it’s amazing. Took about 5 hours and I think it probably should have taken longer.

Beef broth by itself has to simmer for at least 5 hours so it should take you longer. That may be why it was lacking.

Yeah, it was poorly planned on my part. I think more time, and more spice/different bones. I will also try roasting the ginger and onions on the grill instead of in the oven.

Lime juice when served too. Acid + salt are your first two things to check when something is off and you aren't sure what.

Served with lime, Thai basil, hoisin, sriracha, and mung beans. I think it needed more time and seasoning, and maybe less narrow bones, more leg bones.

Thanks for all the advice everyone!
