Remember the key to good bbq meat, low and slow. You want to keep the internal temp of the meat down. If you cook the internal temp to 155 it’s going to be dryish. I am thinking the smoking took the temp higher.
Brisket should be smoked at 225-250 until 205 internal. However I wrap mine with butcher paper when it hits 150-160. Pull it at 205 haven’t used sous vide. flat and point very juicy. I then cube the point. Place in a metal tray with the juice from wrapping it and some bbq sauce. Smoke it for 2 more hours for burnt ends.
2 different pork tenderloins in the sous vide(one spicy the other savory) and will sear on the grill with grilled veggies for tonight.
I typically rub in olive oil then add a dry rub and let it cook for a couple hours then sear the outside. I've been known to buy those premarinated ones and just toss that package into a pot and sous vide it at work on the desk. Have to look at the type of sealing they do on those packages though since they are prone to leak.
This. Also, try no oil on a properly seasoned cast iron. If the cut is fatty it’ll produce enough liquid.
Guys I’m not talking about searing on cast iron I was talking about pouring oil on a grill to start a grease fire
I grill on the roof of my apartment building, which is one of about 20 rowhouses. Premium place to start a fire
I didn't read the last 57 pages but I have done sous vide carnitas a couple of times that I thought turned out very well.
Anyone ever make clarified butter sous vide? My cousin was talking about doing it and it sounds super easy.
Let me know what those instructions are please. Just curious, but what I read seemed kind of like a pain in the ass. Pretty much put butter on the stove top and boil. Heat really dictates time and frequency to stir it. Long story short when it really starts to bubble up the second time it’s done. Also becomes a golden color, but once you do it two three times you’ll see. Strain and done. Also this is key. So much easier than fucking with cheese cloth.
I have Kenji's carnitas going. First time using a vaccum sealer and the juice from the oranges kinda messed up the process of getting all the air out. I have a coffee cup on the top holding the pork down. It will be ready tonight. Can't wait.
first time I made this it was way too orange-y. Second time used more onion and garlic and lime and less orange and liked the flavor a lot better. either way, carnitas sous vide is one of the “killer apps” for sous vide machines
Did a backstrap Sunday evening. Rubbed with s&p, garlic and rosemary. Cooked at 129 for 2 hours before searing.
I've got a bunch more to cook so I'll try that. The rosemary and garlic was a little overpowering too so I'd likely cut back on that and go with a lighter rub.
Is this the one you referenced in the BBQ thread? If so yeah I experienced the same many times. In fact most items I’ll just keep and very simple Salt and pepper. Then I’ll use the juices to make a sauce to finish it with something like rosemary or garlic. It just soaks it right up.
I want to try carnitas this weekend. What’s the best recipe? Sounds like that one on this page is overboard with the orange
The one on this page IMO. Orange never bothered me but it could also have something to do with the ripeness of said oranges. I actually use less cinnamon than they recommend. If you’re worried about either just leave it out, will still achieve perfect meat.

This is correct. Just finished the last of my left overs and want to make it again. So good. Orange didn't bother me at all.
