Cheesy, that London broil was a top round. In some parts of the country, they call flank steak the same thing. I love the top round, it's so flavorful, but really benefits from the sous vide. That cut, I'd probably have left in there a minimum of 4 hours, maybe 6. But it's personal preference anyway! It looks like it was delicious and cooked to perfection!

Love me some flank/flap meat in the sous vide. 122* for 5 hours with a minute hit with a torch brings a delectable dinner to the table. Bonus - flap meat is significantly cheaper than the other options at Costco.
 
Three Lemon Chicken. If you've not tried this recipe I highly recommend it. Served along side a homebrew Maibock

...and SWMBO's Risoto al Zucca, verdure miste, and brotchen.

Yeah Cheesy, what the hell! Let that meat hot tub longer next time dammit!

Yup, definitely would have benefited from more time. Lesson learned, but definitely worth the experience :D

Chef I tried some chicken breasts tonight just for fun (they ended up in soup) and wow you're not kidding. I'm not sure I've ever had chicken breast quite so juicy.
 
Threw a package of Jacksonville brats on the charcoal side of my grill tonight. Topped with horse radish spicy mustard and some peppers and onions. And a large pour of apfelwein. No picture because they didn't last long enough.

I have pretty much have moved away from using breast except in sous vide, such a superior way of cooking them.
 
Kid asked what's for dinner. I say frozen burgers. She asks if I got time to make them before dance. I say "You're 15 you can cook them!" She says, "You never taught me!"

Ok, so I go to teach the kid how to cook burgers. Her friend wants to do it in a pan, cause that's how they cook burgers at her house. But she doesn't know how to cook "FROZEN" burgers..

Sigh....

So anyway, we cook them in a pan to appease my daughter who started to get snippity when asked if she wants them grilled or fried.

Cooked on medium low so the insides were done. I left to sand drywall at my mom's and came back and fried up my own burger. Topped it with mayo and olives with 2 sliced of mild cheddar (I actually bought sharp cheddar, but the wife picked up some mild and that's what was opened.) Avacado slices on the side. With half a glass of Oddside Ales Lolly Catcher Hefe, then half a glass of my Witbier Homebrew. (A bit too dry IMO, but seems to be popular.)

I should try to remember to take pictures...

What is this "Half glass" you speak of?
 
I like a good bit of carbon on my ribs before I smother them with Sweet Baby Ray's hickory sauce. And I just picked up this kickass little cast-iron pot with a lid yesterday. I had to fill it with some beans, chopped onions and the rest of the hickory sauce. OH MY GOD, the taste of this stuff was dramatic.

That 3 lemon chicken looks nice, sadly I don't have a weber grill to try..

I tend to do chicken according to thomas keller's recipe he did in one of anthony bourdains shows.
 
We just had grilled stuffed burgers and a huge everything-in-it garden salad. Not all that photogenic but it sure was good.

KOTC had Ortega chiles and Cheddar inside his burger, I had bleu cheese and Ortegas in mine, we each had a couple strips very thick-cut pepper bacon on top. I'm full!

I did some stuffed burgers recently...think I posted them here. Mine was bleu cheese. I remember mr parents hearing about this somewhere in the 60's or early 70's and doing it. I haven't done it in a looooong time and it was sooooo good! I did the kids with mozzarella and topped with spaghetti sauce. I didn't bother with buns.
 
It's about the only way we do burgers. We stuff them with usually 2 or 3 items - any combination of cheese (whatever kind you like - one of my faves is brie), Ortega chiles, any other type of chile that has been grilled/chopped, bacon bits, grilled onions, minced ham, diced olives (stuffed green are my fave!) - he likes just garlic salt on the outsides of his, I prefer Cavender's Greek seasoning.

And for a REALLY good one we do ground lamb stuffed with feta and diced Kalamata olives. OOOO it's gooooood!
 
I haven't been on this board in a while but today I did my famous meatballs and gravy. I use a recipe based on Ted Allens recipe. I use equal parts beef pork and veal. I use homemade chicken stock in the gravy that I make out of carcasses from chickens I do on the grill. I do a lot of fairly serious cooking and this is the top of my list.

I almost forgot to mention dessert. Malted chocolate cake. Bon appetit recipe. Unreal... Don't have a pic of meatballs but here's the cake. malted milk powder in the cake, in the glaze and those are halved whoppers on top.

OMG that turned the flavor jets on at about 9000 rpm!
