Did a brisket & tri-tip on the Traeger today. Enjoying it now with some mac & cheese & a beer & NBA playoffs in the backyard patio. The brisket turned out perfect.
I like cooking the Tri-tip the most on my Traeger. Have it down exactly how I like it. And it doesn't take too long to cook. Cooked a brisket on it a few months ago. It turned out good but holy crap, it takes so long. I found the trim is the most important part. Trying to make it symmetrical so it cooks throughout evenly.
I got a 5 lb trimmed brisket at Costco. It took about 8 hours total, and that includes 2 hours of resting in a cooler wrapped in foil & towels. Takes awhile but still very easy. I love tri-tips as well. Nice & easy & quick.
Harvested late asparagus. Tomorrow morning will cut in small pieces and make omelet. Grate in Parmesan. Spending tomorrow making sourdough. Lashanna brought home a lizard. I put it back outside. She got annoyed.
Some people aren't fans, but I have really been digging using mustard as my binder when I smoke stuff on my traeger.
Gave Instant Pot a workout last weekend. Carrot soup, braised whole cauliflower in spiced tomato sauce, Moroccan spiced white beans with lamb.
Had a friend visiting for the last week or so, and we cooked bibimbap, mac and cheese, and japanese curry. I made my beans and cornbread. Needed more salt, but it was tasty nonetheless!
Leftovers this weekend although made vegetable and chicken stocks. Planned on short ribs next week but decided on tacos instead or additionally.
Steelhead and salad. Steelhead covered with sliced lemons and baked in the oven inside foil pouches. Romaine lettuce salad with nuts and croutons. So good
I usually cook my fish in the oven in foil pouches in the oven. A surprisingly good add is mayo. And seasoning. And jalapeños.
