Go online. There’s a weber grilling guide that is on the money. It shows different types of meat with thickness and shows cooking time and temps.

Monday Fish Night delayed by a 50 hours power outage (gas oven is not on the generator) and we are the lucky ones...

So I did mine in a Sous Vide, finished on a very high temp BBQ, I'd recommend it. But otherwise I'd do a really high heat BBQ for a few min on each side to sear it and then drop the temp low, 250F and cook until the meat thermometer comes out about 130F. Bon Apitite.

We do it the opposite, reverse sear. Start in the oven and get it to around 115°

Pull out and throw in a SCREAMING hot cast iron pan about 60 seconds a side, rest. Bang, perfect medium rare every time. But typically if I want a steak I go to one of the many great steakhouses in town.

Here is a random question.

Does anyone know where/when the birthday cake with candles tradition started?

When you think about it, a bunch of people are eating cake that someone essentially just covered in their saliva from blowing out the candles.

That sounds kind of gross when you put it that way. lol

Looked it up and found this:

The first well-documented case of candles being placed on a birthday cake comes from Germany in 1746. A man named Count Ludwig von Zinzendorf held a lavish birthday celebration at his home which included a large cake with candles stuck into it, and the number of candles corresponded to his age.

One last fun, if unhygienic note: a 2017 study from the Journal of Food Research found that blowing out birthday candles on a cake increased the amount of bacteria on the icing by 1400%. That’s bacteria coming out of the mouth of the individual blowing and onto the top of the cake. Don’t worry though, the good folks at The Atlantic called up one of the study’s authors and found that the germ-covered cake is still safe to eat!

First, thanks to all of you for your advice. I ended up applying some of everything...

I started with a sea salt and peppercorn rub. ( The steak had been cured for 21 days)

High heat sear on the BBQ. Four minutes each side. ( Two inch thick)

Transferred to the oven, wrapped in foil for two hours at 225°F.

More medium rare than my regular still mooing steak. But the meat came off the bone with a fork.

It has many names depending on region I guess. Macaroni Goulash, beef and macaroni, slumgullion, American chop suey, Johnny Marzetti to name a few. I call it quick, easy and good.

Beer Butt Chicken Leftover Stew

[OkieSnuffBox]

I keep forgetting to take pictures. We had a ton of leftover quinoa, so we browned some ground turkey, onions/bell peppers/garlic/carrots, mixed it all in added in some soy, rice wine vinegar, and sriracha..........now we have a few more days a decently healthy meal.

[Lady Jane]

I picked-up some fresh wings at the butcher poured a bottle of honey garlic marinade and baked at 350° for 45 minutes. You can practically inhale the meat off the bone.
