I'd love to say I'm that clever, but you can buy it pre-made :yaeh am not durnk:
Attachment 262258
It was with great trepidation I attempted this one.
Young Fallow hind quarter bits normally I would slice and fry at supernova and it's awesome everytime.
But into the Webber it went
Attachment 262379
Gave it a cullys dark rub...
Attachment 262382
I pulled it to rest at 45 degrees c center temp to rest..it rose to 47c.
Attachment 262384
Rested for 30 min
Attachment 262385
I had actually hoped it would be a little more rare than that but...
Cranked up the coals sliced thick and about a min and a half sear each side.
Attachment 262388
The rub and smoke flavor 9 out of ten.
Tenderness 9.5 out of 10...slice inch and a half steak with blunt butter knife with ease.
Texture.....I would have liked more sear.
Next time(and there will definitely be a next time!) A thicker cut from a larger animal to keep the middle more rare and more heat actual fire not just coals for the sear.
I had a bit of a shit week, then doing the what's for dinner run to the freezer. So it's crayfish, whitebait and salmon for dinner.
Rice paper rolls with the crayfish were amazing. A small slice of fresh mango, really was a game changer.Attachment 263056

Followed by two helpings of Rhubarb crumble and ice cream......... I need to schedule more walks with @Micky Duck
Attachment 264982
Rhubarb, lemongrass and coriander, are 3 flavors that I can't stand. However vanilla ice cream is one of the best. And crumble (oats, ginger, cinnamon, little nutmeg, brown sugar. Awesome)
From all the posts, I see a lot of differences between NZ way of cooking and Chinese one. That `s why the top complaints from Chinese visitors that TNZ got was the food experience including the experience with Chinese restaurants in NZ. Well I should bring a cast iron pot of 24 inches next time with me, and large steamer for cooking bluecod and if I could get the grouper in southern water.;)
Donkey meat burrito. Or say meat with hot crispy bread. My favorite. Some say to slaughter and eat donkey meat is a brutal act...maybe but it `s really delicious, somehow is better than beef and deer meat depend on how to cook it with what ingredients. I was thinking the other day, in China every year there is a shortage of over one million donkeys. So if I someday I could raise donkey in NZ, then that is premium meat compare to those caged animal living a small quarters.

Terikihi fillets caught in Doubtful Sound and fried up in Upper Caples hut.

One of these will fit a 4" grinder nicely and do a great job on rust, Just wear gloves, glasses and a heavy jacket as sometimes a stray wire will fly off and stick into you.

Yes I could but that cost almost nothing and we do need a firepiit though. Now I got a new one from a friend, she only use it once since she heard how castiron cookware is good for digestion and overall health. But it `s too heave she said and too sticky. Surely she do `t know it need pre heat and oil treatment before actually use it.
Currently laid up with a bung ankle so plenty of time to have a play in the kitchen. Also scored a cheap NZ made cast iron pan so spent the day seasoning that up. Our local Pak n Save have started doing tomahawk steaks and they’re priced bloody well and taste as good as any beef I’ve had before. So tonight was a big loaf of Rewēna and cheese style slices of butter on top followed by a big tomahawk seared off in the new cast iron and finished off in the oven.

The price of beef has come off over here also . Not as cheap as that though. The thing is that for years now venison has been our main red meat, we are not eating much more beef as the price comes back.

Same as us, but a big fatty marbled beef steak does go down a treat every now and again.
If anyone’s interested in cooking them, I do 2-3 minutes a side in a ripping hot pan with a heavy weight on top till a good crust forms then into a 180 degree oven with a temp probe till internal hits 47 degrees then rest for 10 minutes. That’s for a 2 inch cut. Comes out beautiful. Don’t forget plenty of salt, it’s a big chunk of beef.
I hear you and agree!

It has!
No watties here either.
Late breakfast at 1pm.
Wanting to show a venison flat iron steak. It is the meat from the outside of the shoulder plate on the larger side of the shoulder rib bone. When you take it off you then remove a sinew that separates it into 2 pieces. In this pic Ive actually butter fly'd it when removing the sinew to make one large flat piece. It's as tender as any part from the rump and is never dry. Cooks up nice and moist.
If you tend to biff the shoulders into the trees (I do some times) its not hard to at least save this cut. You wont regret it.

Showed the boy/lad/teenager thing a picture and planted an idea.
Turned out identical.
Tomorrows tea might be OK tasting if I'm lucky.
Identical.
The flat iron straight off the shoulder.

Made this today:
Making ground venison jerky is a great way to use up some of that venison grind, but you can totally use lean ground beef or bison as well.
INGREDIENTS (you can half or quarter this recipe, if you’d like)
7 lbs venison
1 lb bacon
1 cup dried apples, chopped
16g celery powder
72g salt
2 Tbsp black pepper
1/4 cup onion powder
1/4 cup smoked paprika
2 Tbsp garlic powder
2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup water
1) Grind the venison, bacon and apples (first on coarse, then on fine)
2) Mix in the rest of the ingredients
3) Cover and refrigerate for 24-48h
4) Load up the jerky gun and press the mixture directly onto dehydrator trays
5) Dehydrate at 160F until dry (4-5 hours for me)
Store in the fridge for 3-4 weeks or freeze for up to a year!
I like to use celery powder instead of the typical curing salt, which is a lab-made product (sodium nitrite) colored with FD&C Red #3... no thanks!
Made a half mixture today. Still a hell of a lot. I used an icing piping linen tube with the end cut larger. $29. Used fresh apple.
