The last time I was at Fetta Sau up in Williamsburg Bklyn, I picked up this stylish mason jar of their rub. They use ground coffee amongst more traditional rub seasonings, and I've always loved the flavor on their smoked boneless beef ribs. The jar has been sitting in my cupboard for a couple months, but last night I remembered it was there and used it on a thick rib eye steak I picked up for dinner.
I've read about cedar planked salmon for at least a decade. And I've had a stack of cedar planks in my grilling closet for just as long. Every time I open that closet I see them sitting there, and everytime I grab what I need and close the door leaving the neglected planks of wood behind. But tonight i decided to actually throw them on the grill, and the results were delicious. Read on for more details.
It's hard to beat a slow-cooked beefy meal. I'm a big fan of stews, pot roasts, etc, but often times the final product is on the blander side of the spectrum. So I'm always searching for recipes with more robust ingredients, and I stumbled across one in a british slow cooker cookbook we had on the shelf. This recipe adds some real depth to a simple braised beef with the addition of horseradish, curry, and ginger. If you have a slow cooker at home I urge you to make this meal. Start it up in the morning, and when you get home from work your house will demand you start eating dinner the moment you walk through the door. Read on for my step by step, and the final recipe.
