Nice! I post there pretty often. Usually with the hash tag #Addict
I cooked today. Picadillo with bell pepper instead of jalapeno. Turned out pretty damn good. But you know Tortillas, salsa and jalapenos have to be added.
Attending a get together with others bringing asado, smoked pork butt, fajitas and I am doing a couple baby back rib racks. Throw in a couple bourbon barrel aged stouts, and Monday may be a struggle.
it is a mix of random cuts, some steaks, ground beef & roasts. Tried to smoke some in a green egg (good flavor, tough). We have used some of the steaks by slow cooking them than adding to beef stew- pretty good, Any thing cooked grill is very difficult.
You can try injecting the roasts with beef tallow then smoke low and slow like a brisket. Wrap with more tallow or butter at 175ish IT and take to 203ish...at least that what I would try...
Lots of folks fall for the grass fed BS. My neighbors kept telling me they were considering ordering a side of beef from this “organic” farm because it will be healthy and really tender meat. I told them they’d be sorry for spending double on what beef should cost. They said the same thing, tough as nails. They couldn’t understand it. I had to explain it to them. Fat is good stuff
as I understand it, the USDA does not regulate the term...Organic. Anyone can call anything organic. However, as I understand it, .."grass fed" is code for tough as hell.
The benefit of grass fed is that it will not come loaded with phosphates and such like pesticides......well, unless the grass happened to be fertilized, or was in the runoff zone of a fertilized field.
My advise?....leave the grass fed crap to the Californians.

USDA does regulate what is considered organic and it takes lots of hoop jumping to obtain that status. The farm has to have soil testing done, have records to prove no spraying has taken place, etc… Grass fed doesn’t always mean organic, but organic will be grass fed if that makes sense.
