A nice Prime Rib Roast I cooked for New Years to ring in 2026. Did this Sous Vide style with 10 hours at 130 degrees and then 450 degrees in the oven to set the crust for about 8-10 minutes.

Compared to the same Prime Rib cooked on my Recteq smoker and the crust set in a Lodge Black Iron skillet, I’ll have to say the Sous Vide was the most tender and the WINNER!!

It's been a while so figured I'd post a couple pictures of my Prime Rib Roast for this years' Christmas Dinner.

Merry Christmas All!!

So, it's St. Patrick's Day and I had a Corned Beef Brisket in the freezer. With all the rain today, I didn't want to go in and out to check the smoker so I put in my Sous Vide this morning at 9:00am, set the timer for 6 hours at 165 and went about my business.

Before leaving this afternoon about 3:00pm, I cranked up the heat to 195 and set the final timer for 3 hours. Total cooking time was 9 hours and it was undeniably, absolutely the most tender Corned Beef I've ever made (or had).

Shared a samich with my Bostonian neighbor who loves em and also is little Irish. Nice end to the week.

Don't forget, you "eat with your eyes first"!

Enjoy!

A nice little Valentine Dinner for my Bride last night. Filet Mignon crusted in a dry brine of Sea Salt, Heavy Ground Black Pepper, Extra Virgin Olive oil, baked sweet potatoes with brown sugar and butter, accompanied by a side of pan sautéed green beans in a beef base. Perfectly paired with a 2017 Flavio Italian Red wine. Very nice it was.

You HONGRY YET?

Cooked a little something different this past Saturday for opening day of Tennessee Football. Really been wanting to experiment and smoke some Jalapeño Bacon Poppers.

Jalapeño Peppers sliced, filled with a mixture of whipped Cream Cheese, crumbled sausage and crushed pineapple, all injected into the peppers and smoked at 275 for 1.5 hours. Obviously wrapped in smoked, thick cut bacon.

You HONGRY yet...?

Did a little New York Strip Sous Vide for about 6 hours then ran the new Rectec-700 up to 500 with some grill grates to finish it off.
Side salad with Poppy Seed dressing, half baked potato with cheddar, butter, salt/pepper combo.

I had very high hopes for the NY Strip but it was far nicer to look at than taste.

Did a little cooking on the ol smoker the past few weeks. Here are a couple "virtual sample bites" for you.

Nice little Boneless Ribeye marinated in a Teriyaki base, seasoned and then grilled to a perfect medium rare!

At Casa de’ Blair this afternoon. Smoked a “South Alabama Prime Ribeye Roast” on the ol Kamado smoker. It was a 5lb “Chubb” as they are called, slathered with mustard, then rubbed down with some homemade “Hooterville Butt Rub”, smoked for 3 hours at 225, then a coat of love with Blues Hog Red and Blue mix.

Then to finish off a nice Sunday afternoon, tossed on a boneless ribeye marinated in Yoshidas Teriyaki and generously sprinkled with Montreal Steak Rub.

Fun day at Casa de’ Blair
