I made 3 racks of ribs yesterday and pulled pork on Friday.  Both were amazing, I have the pellet smoker about 90% figured out.

Bacon wrapped cast iron seared elk tenderloin for dinner last night. I was very comforted after eating two of those.

Threw together a small batch of elk stew; it’ll comfort me a for couple of days.  ;)


How do you do a venison stew by the way? All replies appreciated. Tried it but I dried the meet out at some point along the way. Thanks!

RJs Elk or Venison Stew

1 1/2 lbs elk or deer steak (1/2 inch cubes, browned barely in hot skillet in olive oil/light Alpine Touch season).
1 diced red onion.
4 cups beef broth 
Tbsp balsamic vinegar.
Tbsp Winchester sauce.
1/4 cap liquid smoke (mesquite or hickory).
Some generous shakes each of pepper, ground basil, paprika, oregano, and sage.
1/2 packet of dry beef stew seasoning.
1-14.5 oz can Diced Fire Roasted Tomato’s w/garlic.
3 diced tatos w/skin on.
6 stalks celery diced. 
1 cup diced mushrooms.
1 1/2 cups diced carrots.

Either cook all day in crock or in kettle on stove for a few hours.

Shout out to WapitiTalk1. I did his venison stew recipe this weekend and it was awesome. The only variants were no mushrooms in mine and I added a small roux that was composed of cream and flour. The family wanted it less watery and more thick so I did the roux. I also cut the meat a bit small and so waited for the last half hour to add it is after browning. Meat was tender (whitetail doe) and rest was very comfort foody. Definitely recommend and do get the liquid smoke I think it made a big difference.

Just made a quick batch of Manhattan Clam Chowder for lunch, perfect for the cold, wet weather outside.

My Grandpa use to say
"Nothing good ever came out of New York"
and
"Manhattan Clam Chowder, was invented during the depression when poor people could not afford real milk"
 :chuckle:

love clams either way!  :tup:

Your Grandpa may  have been right and lacked the experience of a good bowl of Manhattan Clam Chowder at the same time.

Got a chunk of left over brisket from sons 4th party, noticed a think layer of fat on one piece, rendered down some of the fat then reheated some chopped brisket in the grease.
Was watching meat eater a few days back when he did this with a bear he shot, figured how could you go wrong doing it with brisket.
In God we trust, all others bring cash.

Do not say, Why were the old days better than these? For it is not wise to ask such questions.

Super Potato


1 baked potato or boiled potato of your choice
Onions, slightly cooked until softened, or raw green onions
Ham, cooked hamburger, chicken, old lunch meat, pretty much whatever meat you want
Sour cream
Butter
Broccoli or other vegetable (optional) pre cooked as well
Cheese, I prefer sharp cheddar
Parmesan (optional)
Salt, pepper and garlic


Smooth out potato on full size plate, season it, add globs of sour cream, add meat, onions, optional veggie, globs of butter all over and more seasoning. Cover and bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes. Uncover and add cheese and bake for another 5-10. Your welcome!

That's about as comfort as any food can get.  Everything is in there except seafood.

I'm so happy it is BXT sandwich season!  :drool:

And I've been giving the smoker a workout as well. Kale is still producing in the garden.
