What's Cooking? (New Jersey)

Just popping in to say I tried mayo instead of butter for a rarely made grilled cheese. The loss of flavor from the butter had me rethinking my decision every bite. Good bread crisping in the pan though.

Agree completely, but had to try it at least once.

That looks so good! Do enjoy - brisket is my fav! We’re keeping it more simple than usual, but we are having fresh home ground brisket burgers for dinner. Yum. Happy 4th of July!

Been a week or two but back outside.
Cajun salmon, gochujang chicken and scratch salads. Had some franks and beans recently, too.
Tasty.

Don’t call it a cheesesteak.

I have no grill and a very sensitive smoke alarm that went off last time I tried to sear a steak. Grabbed a manager’s special NY strip steak this morning and decided to get creative. First I cleaned it up and then sliced the meat thin against the grain:

I quick seared the pieces so as not to disturb the smoke nanny and then put the cooked strips with some horseradish cheddar pub cheese and fried onions into a half pie crust. I coated the crust with some Chicago beef gravy spice and baked.

The result was eaten dipped in a sauce of pure Heinz ketchup :slightly_smiling_face:

Took another shot at Chicharron today with Iberico Secreto Barriguera. Better than 1st time.
Add water and spices to cover pork pieces, boil out the water until only pork fat remains, brown pieces in fat. Pretty easy. Good stuff and great to know how to make at home.
