Christmas meals

[WildWill]

So what's everyone making this holiday? We're doing our friends Christmas today just put a 11lb ribeye roast on the big smoker.

We are cooking up the elk tenderloins from my cow this year. I leave the next day for WY and it's become a tradition to eat elk the night before I hunt, so killing two birds with one stone.

If ever there was a night for the best part of an elk, it would be Christmas night

We did wife's side Thursday I smoked a pork butt. Yesterday we did my dad's side I did a 10lb prime rib. Tomorrow night is just us and we're doing ribeyes/new York strip and shrimp. Christmas day just us again we're just gonna do some appetizers.

We are having shrimp that a friend is bringing over and my wife is cooking a 16 pound prime rib in the oven. There are 9 of us gathering at our house. Got a big one so we have leftovers!! They had a great buy on them at $8.00 a pound so I bought two. One for Christmas and one for Valentines Day. Aren't I the romantic one. The one on Valentines I'll do in our Pit Boss verticle smoker. I can taste it now.

Tonight it is south of the border Mexican/Argentinian selections.

Christmas Eve will be wildgame and more standard fancy pants charcuterie choices.

Beef Wellington dueling versus deer backstrap Wellington for the main course Christmas Day with @kansasson is in charge.

I was able to pick up a 22 pound prime rib on sale. Normal price was $357. Sale price was $109 with an additional $50 in groceries purchased.

We’ll be eating well!

All kinds of prime rib getting made! Same here. Smoking mine Christmas day for us and the daughter's boyfriend. Twice baked potatoes, grilled shrimp and shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. Dark chocolate French silk pie for dessert.

Elk chili simmering for tonight and tomorrow. Hope it's not too fragrant for Christmas!

I'm having corn fed eastern whitetail backstrap

 

[Keep on]

Found a whole beef tenderloin on sale for $9.99/lb. Going to try beef wellington for Christmas eve.
Christmas evening the family is coming over and doing a lasagna and meatballs, getting started on the sauce shortly, venison and sausage bolognase.

 

[Arcola]

Big lasagna dinner at my old man’s place tomorrow. We’re extremely Scandinavian, so somehow Italian cuisine has become the tradition on Christmas Eve.

Christmas Day I’ll be making prime rib, crab legs, and antelope backstrap. Green beans and mashed taters for sides. Sides aren’t getting much attention this year.

 

[recon6036]

I’ll be cooking a Ham and Elk Backstrap on the Traeger. My wife will make Hasbrown casserole, carrots and whatever else for sides.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Had 10 pounds of antelope turned into tamales. It’ll be us and some friends for a big tamale feast tomorrow.



It’ll be just us for Christmas so gonna make crab cakes and ribeyes.

There are rumors there will be a story about this...

Need a good hunting tale before the off season craziness kicks off.

This thread turned me into Dory, now I want crab cakes and rib eye.

Smoked a prime rib for myself and the girls the other night…. King crab legs and bacon wrapped filets with the in laws tomorrow…. Then racks of lamb for the girls and I Christmas night. Lots of good eats and good company! Merry Christmas hunt talkers!

 

[TN2shot07]

We don’t usually do a big Christmas dinner but seeing those prime ribs is making me reconsider…. Breakfast is normally our big meal that day - homemade biscuits and cinnamon rolls, fresh sausage, bacon, tenderloin, country ham, skillet potatoes, sawmill gravy and chocolate gravy
