dinner, New Year's Day

[addicted-to-smoke]

On the menu at @chuck s ' place:
-- prime rib, fillets, green beans, sliced potatoes --

But first, some snack action with salami, pepperoni, two kinds of cheese and two kinds of crackers:




Potatoes take the longest, so let's prep them first. With some brined garlic we get a head start.




The garlic served two functions, flavor as well as acting as spacers for the potato slices. And ready in a 10" pan, with onions also doing double-duty (flavor + moisture), butter, S & P:




To help cook the tops as evenly as the bottoms and retain moisture we put the lid on, and since the lid was on, there was no need to use charcoal at this stage. So they're on the big burner while charcoal gets started:




If Boeing ever made a Bunsen burner it would be this Charbroil Commercial unit, normally used for boiling a large pot of crab legs and also starting the charcoal chimney. It's not actually about to propel the motorhome up the driveway (I don't think.) :




The beans were prepped with more of the garlic, bacon etc.:




"And just like that" it was time for a beer ....




Potatoes were finished on the grill so that a little alder smoke could do its thing:




Everyone eats gourmet at Chez chuck s!




He of the master touch, working yet another miracle on the MasterTouch!

Beans are done!




and so is the meat!








You shoulda been 'dere!




Cheers!

That steak is perfect!  It's only 8:30 am where I am and now I want steak.

Thanks Dave. But I gotta tell ya, as great as the was, the next night might have been better. Mrs. chuck s made a prime rib roast in the oven. She's been doing this for years, using the method professionals use because it's delicious and reliably repeatable. The "secret" is to cook it for a very short time at a very high temp, then let the oven slowly cool down to nothing over time.

It's one cook that the kettle outside probably couldn't duplicate: http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/beef/perfect-prime-rib-everytime-the-best-ever.html
