Bit of a tease - couldn't help myself.

You'll really have to wait to get the details. 

Anyway, it's a coffee-based rub on a NY strip.  Wifey went nuts but what else is new?

[Quarlow]

Awesome looking steak cousin. I don't get steak often but this weekend we had some peppercorn marinaded ones. They were nice and thick. I grilled them to medium rare and they were so juicey and tender.

Wait?  We ain't exactly a patient bunch...

Cafe Royale?

I apologize.  I should have explained better.  Sometimes I have things in my head and fail to put it in writing.

I'm doing a sauce and rub review for the newsletter; pretty nearly done.  I don't know which issue it will show up in.  That's up to Chris.

This rub is Dy-no-mite!  Did it on two steaks and lamb chops.  Debbie (wife) loves it; puts it on everything.  Her favorite sauce is Sop'n Sauce from Iceman.  She wants a straw.

This is a lot of fun. 

Sorry for coming up short of info on the initial post; too excited.  Please forgive.

Arnie I will put it in the very next newsletter after you finish testing and reviewing.

Wait?  We ain't exactly a patient bunch...

Ain't that the truth!! That would be the reason I don't post many of my cooks. I am testing something most every time.

I'll get a draft to you by the end of the week Chris.  I have my third CF card reader and it seems to work so I can get pics off of the cards.

Here's a test shot - only my ears are smokin'   >:(  Roofing guys replaced skylights and screwed 'em up.  A lot of leakage for two floors.  I've had three appointments with them and they've never showed. 

This is Steve (left) and his helper.  Pulling out the skylights, rotted plywood and replacing shingles.

There goes my MAK  >:(

Put a big bucket under the skylight and order your MAK!  Where are your priorities man? :D

Just call it a waterfall and now it becomes part of the decor...

Priorities are in the right order New smoker is still first. Just SELF PRESERVATION kicked in first. I think the wife may have threatened Arnies life if it didn't get done.

Oh yeah.....forgot about "the wife".  Man, they can screw up some perfectly good logic can't they? :D

Wow !  That looks good.  Can hardly wait for the review, Arnie.

There is a fairly famous chef in Houston, Robert Del Grande.  He owned and operated Cafe Annie which I believe is now RDG+Bar Annie after renovation and remodeling.  Many credit him as being the principal father behind southwest American cuisine.  Not only is he an accomplished chef and successful restauranteur he is also a brain (has a PhD in biochemistry) but I digress.  One of his iconic or signature dishes is "Coffee Roasted Tenderloin of Beef".  He has shared the recipe and taught it to the public in Houston.  Here's the recipe.  I have also had this applied to a pheasant he roasted - it was incredible!
