    Giving up signature recipe - Pork tenderloin w/cherry red wine balsamic glaze (favor)

    Nope. It has some sweetness to it, but it's pretty muted. I generally don't like my savory entrees like pork to be overly sweet. If that's a concern, then go with a plain balsamic vinegar instead of one infused with fig (or some other type of fruit - we're gonna try a blackberry balsamic...

    Tenderloin ideas, help!

    Yes, that would change it (not sure how I missed that). So what she's got is basically medallions instead of tenderloins. For the recipe I put up, the prep would be the same, the difference would be you'd pan fry or grill them for a couple of minutes instead of roasting them or grilling them...

    Tenderloin ideas, help!

    Marinate it in red wine, cherries, port, and aged balsamic, then grill it and glaze it with the reduced marinade. There is no finer way to make it in the summertime when the cherries are fresh. It's one of my signature dishes. I *just* put the recipe up on this forum here. Check it out...

    Giving up signature recipe - Pork tenderloin w/cherry red wine balsamic glaze (favor)

    Used to guard this thing pretty closely. Long story short, there is a strong desire for the Lady of the House to win a contest @ the Bite of Seattle this year (she wants to do a public cooking demo), so giving it up. This is, quite literally, the single best pork tenderloin I've ever had in my...

    Buying half a cow?

    In a manner of speaking. With those cuts, one side of the bone is tenderloin, the other is actually just New York Strip. A Porterhouse is basically just a T-Bone with a larger portion of tenderloin. They both leverage what is known as the tail of the tenderloin, but the other half of the...

    Buying half a cow?

    The smaller portion of the meat in the "T" is tenderloin, yes. But a tenderloin is....substantial. If you ever go to a place like Costco or the like, take a look at a whole one - they're 2-2 1/2 feet long. A couple of T-bones aren't going to come anywhere near what a whole tenderloin represents.

    Buying half a cow?

    You bought half a cow. A cow has 2 tenderloins. Why didn't they give you one?

    I'm looking to evolve to the next plane. Anyone made the journey?

    Wow, an ancient thread reborn recently, it seems. Just to provide an update of sorts on this, I am well into the journey. I ended up networking with a man named Ferran Adria, who's probably forgotten more about this topic (which I'll now refer to as 'modernist' as opposed to molecular...

    Dry aging bone-in prime rib at home

    You don't want the air to move atop the fat cap, which is why you put the towel on top of it. You want the air to flow freely along the actual meat. - Good Eats S5E4P1: Celebrity Roast - YouTube (Fast forward to the 5 minute mark) Someone forwarded that to me after this topic ran its course...

    I give unto you...the ultimate brisket

    Reviving kind of an old thread here, but I've altered my recipe a bit since I posted it up. Nowadays, prior to putting the rub on the brisket, I inject the meat at various points with either something called Fat B Lite (FAB Meat Enhancing Injections for beef, brisket, chicken and pork.) if I...

    I'm looking to evolve to the next plane. Anyone made the journey?

    I made bacon spaghetti tonight. People are right: Bacon DOES make everything better, especially when it's made entirely of bacon. I do have to work on the sauce some, though.

    I'm looking to evolve to the next plane. Anyone made the journey?

    Yeah, I'm going to be truling El Bulli this July when I'm in Europe. Very stoked about it. Sadly, Ferran doesn't have a book out, though. There's a book that came out from a foundation he started, but it doesn't appear he had anything to do with it.

    I'm looking to evolve to the next plane. Anyone made the journey?

    The simplest way to explain it would be the point where food meets science. It's Alton Brown....on HGH, anabolic steroids, and crushed deer antler. It's the study of using various chemicals and techniques to create new kinds of food and dining experiences. You can Youtube the phrase and a lot...

    How much is a tank of propane, appprox ?

    You can go to almost any gas station and get them filled. Generally runs about 2 bucks a pound, and your average tank is 5 pounds. I'd never pay more than 10-13 dollars to fill. And those exchange programs are a complete ripoff. You end up paying more to exchange the tank than the tank...

    Tips on cooking Brisket

    http://www.discusscooking.com/forums/f36/i-give-unto-you-the-ultimate-brisket-20090.html Follow it to the letter and you can't go wrong. Best brisket I've ever had - and I'd even say that if I didn't have a personal bias due to creating it.

    DENMARK - Copenhagen ... need ideas quick!

    So I've been here all week, I leave next Friday. I have to say with the exception of 1 dessert I had (some thing they traditionally eat on Christmas Eve), I've been thoroughly underwhelmed with the food. Someone give me a knock my boots off restaurant to go to, please. Also...what should I...

    Buying first Japanese knife?

    I do, but I would be in the minority here simply because I buy higher grade. A lot of people here (and you can find it in a multitude of threads) go out and buy a cheap entry level blade, use it, and then proclaim the entire material inferior, which I don't get. That'd be like me going out and...

    Buying first Japanese knife?

    The best non-ceramic blade I've ever used has been the Kasumi Titanium line. And the blue color is pretty sweet looking, as well. Runner-up would be either MAC or Shun.

    Fun with chiles (6 course meal w/ pictures)

    Lamb Phaal Apparently some unwritten law of Indian cuisine states that a phaal is the hottest dish allowable in an Indian restaurant. I just think it’s an attempt to cash in on the Vindaloo craze of a few years ago. Probably for this reason there is little consensus as to what goes into a phaal...
