we started doing beef loin steaks about 10 years ago
go buy a USDA Prime whole loin, trim, cut steaks, chow on the best beef we will have in the year
I use the trimmings when I make summer sausage from venison
melt in your mouth goodness
and all kinds of sides I expect
this year I am also...
so back a few years ago my Wife and I went to an OSS Society awards banquet and stayed at the Mandarin Oriental in Washington DC (site and lodging of the banquet). That Sunday morning, after the banquet, we had breakfast there before heading home. They had a dish called "Carolina Grits". I...
Larry Koller wrote "Shots at Whitetails" - probably read it 400 times as a kid (ok, slight exaggeration)
mostly a northern/northeastern whitetail hunting book, but I loved it - still have my copy
lots of good ones - more not so good
we make this with deer, elk, or most any cervid - or you can use beef (buffalo?). Key (for me) is to use a "stringy" meat - conventional is to use flank steak, but it works with neck roasts and skirt steaks well. We have also used regular roasts, but they don't string as well

my wife does this, but then sometimes she changes it up some as well - depends what she has on hand

yesterday's breakfast was fresh caught rainbow trout pan fried in butter and onions served with rice - a throwback to my loner camping/fishing trips in northern Wisconsin as a kid
Wife made me some Ropa Vieja with elk neck roast. I was introduced to this for a breakfast meat at a small Cuban cafe in Gainesville FL when my daughter was in her PhD program at UF. Fell in love with it and my Wife makes it for me now and then. Made it with about 4 lbs of meat, so plenty to...
so my Wife is from North Carolina,,, I was born and raised in northern Wisconsin till I left for military
my Mother died in 1987, a year and a half after we were married.
You know how folks bring food over when someone has passed.
on the way back to NC (I was stationed there then) my Wife made...
my Wife's house dog (my dogs stay "outside" with me in the outbuildings) spent her last 8 years blind - the cause in this case was an inoperable tumor. Then she went pretty much deaf. I always joked with the vets that we were her "seeing eye persons".
it's a challenge, but one we loved
she...
sounds good
unfortunately the state I currently live in has CWD laws that mandate bringing cervid meat from out of state has to have no/zero bones in it -
I can see the spine and brain, but absolutely no bones grumps me sometimes
anyhow, such is life
I basically gave up my crock pot when my wife bought me an old Nesco electric pressure cooker at a yard sale. Used it so much she bought me a new one for a holiday a few years ago, that one is an Insta-pot. Then she found me another smaller one at another yard sale (she yard sales like I hunt...
I’ll do that next time
Made a version today, used the white wine my wife had on hand - should have cooked it down a bit more (was a tad runny) but
OH
MY
It was delicious over seared rare duck breasts
Stupidly good
Thanks for the idea
