All things BBQ and Braai

Arrived at the cottage………..it has a BBQ after all, even though the agency told us it didn’t.

There are two downsides though, it’s a gas one (but it does look decent) and also the big local Morrison’s doesn’t have any large bone in rib joints as “they don’t get them as they are classed as a poor store”

Sure you can still rustle up something magic mate ?
 
Mrs told me to go and get some chops for dinner. So I came back with these.

Been curing a flat brisket this past week to do some pastrami again. Meat was purchased via a local butcher that seem to be able to do bbq cuts and specific cuts I am after.

Excuse my ignorance, but what's the cut and process?
Looks absolutely tremendous by the way!!

The cure is a rub that you apply on the meat and cure in the fridge for 5-7 days as a minimum depending on size of the meat. The one I did was 1.5kg so did 7 days. Then smoked for 9hrs on the Weber between 120-130c throughout the day.
Cut of meat for the pastrami is a brisket flat and a lean on at that. You generally don't want any fat. When it came to cooking I then apply a Pastrami rub to create the bark and flavour on the outside.

There is a simple pack from Angus & Oink that makes it pretty straight forward how to do and they have done a youtube video on it.

Bought an Ooni pizza oven at the weekend, first attempt was a complete disaster so we go again tonight ?

I got myself a MiFires pizza oven earlier this year.......

First attempts didn't go well but things soon improved. Once you work out the best way to cook in it you'll never need to order takeaway pizza ever again.
