Where is the chat room on the recipe site?

I have the same problem finding it.

It was on the list of things left to do after the conversion.

I would assume no chat tonight.

Yeah Sonny, I saw your post on this.  Boy, talk about rules and regulations  :o  I'm a few years your senior and I've been tryin' to figure out what to do with GB and chicken breasts for a long time.  Some came out OK but I don't believe I'm creative enough to come up with anything worthwhile.  I've seen a couple of the comps on TV.

('Nother topic).  I'd like to ask your advice because you've been smokin' up thousands of pounds of 'stuff' lately.

I invited number 1 daughter over for dinner this weekend.  It's her 8th anniversary on Sunday.  I asked her what she wanted and she said BEEF.  Number 2 daughter isn't coming because she just got out of surgery on Monday and isn't feelin' too hot.  So, it's four of us - maybe five if Julie (wife's friend) shows up.

I have a hunk of beef tenderloin in the freezer, certainly good for 4-5 steaks or a roast.  So, now I'm thinkin', what to do?

I'd like to keep it simple; Debbie and I will have to do the cleanup  ;)  Any ideas?

(It was your idea to chat here  ;D)
Title: Re: Chat Room
Post by: classicrockgriller on April 27, 2010, 08:42:32 PM
LOL, well you sould know the answer to that.

Leave it whole and smoke till IT everyone likes and slice and eat.

Probably won't take long.

And you know your spices and your company so that salt/pepper plus the few extras will be a big hit.

Arnie, I have seen you plate beautiful food. You don't need my help for that.
Title: Re: Chat Room
Post by: ArnieM on April 27, 2010, 09:09:11 PM
Thanks for the feedback Sonny.  I think I'm getting a plan together here.

Use a rub of S&P, a bit of granulated garlic and and a pinch of ancho powder.  Rest.  Do the tenderloin up with maybe an hour of oak (raw) and FTC it.  Then put it in the oven at 300 to bring it up to medium rare - Debbie likes medium so she gets the end slices.

Daughter requested baked potatoes so that's one less one less pot to wash.  Local store advertised fresh green beans for $.99/Lb but they were all out.  I'll go back later this week.  How does blanched and then done in OO and garlic sound?

I was also figuring on a salsa appetizer.  Lost the link (recent) but it looked pretty good.

If you have a veggie steamer, you could do two or three pag of veggies really easy with salt/pepper and dizzle of evoo after the steamin.

OR,

Use the steamin bags, they work great. No dishes for that one.
Title: Re: Chat Room
Post by: classicrockgriller on April 27, 2010, 09:23:31 PM
I always go less time cause I like a little fresh crunch in my veggies.

If they are not done enough, then u can nuke them for a minute or so.

Post by: BuyLowSellHigh on April 28, 2010, 09:05:47 AM
Your plan sounds excellent!  I did a whole (well trimmed and tied) beef tenderloin much as you have planned for a dinner club I belong to and it was a very big hit (that was before the Bradley).  The only difference from your plan is the finish was in a much hotter oven - 450 °F.  Went to IT of ~105 under smoke and then right into the hot oven.  The seasoning was simple - Montreal Steak Seasoning, and it was added after the smoke, along with a light oil rub, done very quickly. Final IT was 120, then foil covered for about 10 min's rest.  The accompanying sauces were homemade Worcestershire sauce -- once you try it you'll never go back to the store stuff -- and homemade horseradish & cream.
Title: Re: Chat Room
Post by: ArnieM on April 28, 2010, 11:17:23 AM
I was trying to figure out what kind of gravy to make.  The horseradish and cream sounds like a better bet.  Thanks Eric.

Care to share that one?

Post by: BuyLowSellHigh on April 28, 2010, 01:07:05 PM
It's an Emeril Lagasse recipe - link follows.  If you can't find fresh horseradish root, you can use prepared horseradish out of a jar with just about the same result (I've made it both ways).  The recipe is here. (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/filet-of-beef-roasted-garlic-mashed-potatoes-bleu-cheese-walnut-stuffed-portobellos-worcestershire-sauce-recipe/index.html) (scroll down - it's near the bottom).

I looked all over the place and I cant seem to find it anywhere. Gonna have to send a message off to Raye and tell him the upgrade sucks without the chat room for our Tuesday night chat/BS session. I hope it hasn't gone the way of the buffalo.

I know the coffee rub has put Marv in the top 25 in the state of Texas during the Hico Ribeye cookoff. That says alot in my world. Marv and his Misses even roast special blend coffees in their place. He might even send you some of that as well.

It looks like quite the shindig.

pulled pork, coleslaw, potato salad --- for ~100

and a Barbershop Quartet will sing the National Anthem, etc..

We've never done one of these for three Eagles at once.

But it be that time. Momma just informed me that I get to get the yardapes up and off to school all by myself in the morning she just got a call that the boss won't be in. Her daughter (8) is in the Emergency Room may need her appendix taken out. So I am gonna check out. You boys have a good night!

The chatroom went the way of the buffalo when they did the upgrade on the recipe site. They are evaluating how much it is used and making a decision on whether or not to keep it. That is the information I have heard so far. I am hopeful it will be back soon.
