I always make a cheese steak style sandwich with leftover steak and brisket. I chop it into pieces and melt butter in a skillet. Toss in a couple of jalapeño to sizzle in the butter and then toss in the cold meat. Just as it heats up, throw a grip of cheese in the pan and when it starts to get melte...
[quote]Problem is the wife and daughters only like filet for steak[/quote] So I think I cracked this code with my wife a few weeks ago. My wife saaays she likes ribeyes because that is what her dad gets. For years when I would cook ribeyes, she would waste tons of it and complain that it was ...
Outstanding attempt! It looks amazing. I once made pho using a similar recipe that also took 24+ hours. I also remember not wanting to use brisket because it seemed like they didn’t season it enough. In my opinion, pho is all about the noodles and broth. I actually don’t eat much meat in pho. I ...
I actually have a few different grilled burgers that I do. All involve starting with 1/3-1/2lb Patties made with 80/20. 1. Season generously with Slap ya Mommas. Grill to medium and then just before finish, hit them hard with a 50/50 blend of W sauce and liquid smoke and cap with sliced Colby Ja...
My personal favorite restaurant is French Press. It has several dishes that are 10/10 for me and I have trouble deciding which one I want when I go. That along with their literal option of a French press of coffee makes for a killer combination of good food and relaxing hangout. Is there better ...
Did you try any of these suggestions? If so, how did you like it?...
Smoked sausage is 100% in my pot or crockpot with my roasts. Beef roasts and pork roasts. The sausage takes the gravy up a notch and it just goes well with the roast also. ...

Agree. A capful is standard for a simmer sauce at small pot of potato soup. I actually keep it at the table as a finishing condiment. ...
Oddly enough, I don’t get steaks at outback. I love the place but I always get the peripheral items. The blooming burger is probably my favorite burger of all time. The blooming onion is a really good app. The pasta is really good too. My favorite steak there was their strip steak but they took it o...

I had chilis baby back ribs tonight for the first time in about 20 years. They were terrible. I remember working at chilis in the early 2000s and thinking that the ribs were amazing. Was this: 1. They have always been crappy ribs? Maybe I didn’t understand what good ribs were when I was young...

Very rarely will I just eat leftover sausage just to eat it. If I do, I usually will slice it into medallions and sear it. I enjoy those medallions with vinegar and crawfish boil powder. I also like making Mac and cheese with the medallions. ...
I’ve been preaching the gospel of Mr Ts boudin for a couple of years. Nobody wanted to believe me at first but they have been getting some traction here on TDFD in the last 6 months. If eating it fresh, my preference is the smoked. If getting it to go to reheat later on the grill, unsmoked is th...

The original recipe that I had called for white pepper instead of black, and 1 tsp cayenne. I found with those peppers and the horseradish, it was a little too hot for Cenla folks and kids. Plus, the black specks give it a little color/character and is slightly more visibly appetizing to me. ...

The secret to any uncooked sauce is to give it time in the fridge for the flavors to come together and mellow out. The recipe that I gave above is on point but if you mix it and immediately try to taste it, it will be extremely sharp and mildly unpleasant. Once it sits in the fridge overnight, the f...

My go to. I have made a lot of believers with this recipe. It is amazing with any smoked meat except beef, IMO. It is especially good with smoked chicken and smoked sausage. 2 cups mayo 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar 1/4 cup prepared horseradish 2 tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp black pepper 2 tsp yell...
[quote]Johnson’s Boucaniere[/quote] This is a good answer anytime it is open. Their boudin is in my top 5. Their sandwiches are very good but not life changing. I just like supporting a local business that makes good boudin. ...
I am so outdone with Taco Bell. They have literally given me great fast food and then take it away once I get hooked. Then, they do it again. And again. And again. A moment of silence please for: Chili cheese burrito. Xxl stuffed burrito Quesarito Encharito Nacho fries Chipotle Chicke...
