Title: What's Going on the Table for Christmas?
Post by: pianoman9701 on December 21, 2022, 09:52:18 AM: It's just the wife and me. I'm doing an herb crusted NY Sirloin roast, first smoked for a couple hours, and then sous vide for 6, searing with the torch to finish. Not sure about sides yet, maybe Brussel sprouts and mashed yams, keto cheesecake for dessert.

How about y'all?

We'll also have a big lefse spread with a variety of homemade smoked meats, sausages, smoked fish and breads. For Christmas day It will be French toast and berries for breakfast and then I will cook a nice prime rib on the Rec Teq and serve it with root vegetables from our garden.

Another thing I don't like/understand is how can folks take a PERFECTLY cooked (med rare) piece of prime beef, and then put horseradish or A1 on top of it. Guess I just like the taste of blood/meat. :tung:

Prime rib with a garlic/pepper/misc spice crust under a kosher salt crust.
