Shabu ~ Shabu 'Turds.................

I've done these from time to time, semi-fuzzy, but these are the best pics I've got, the other times the lighting wasn't right or whatever.......this is from a year & some back for a buddies 50th B-Day party....


Appearently, this is something the sumo wrestlers cook up along with vegetables ( or this is the only story I've heard about it so far...)

Shabu ~ Shabu means 'swish ~ swish'.......so the very thin meat is swished back & forth in very hot broth / soup to cook it.............I spy a slightly different use...... 8)

It's VERY thinly sliced ribeye & they also had hyper thin brisket







My UPS guy told me about this stuff & where to to get it (the wife already had used it several times before, I don't remember )
My 1st thought is: wrap around jalepenos...but 1st I rolled them in this stuff ~~~>




Stuff's very thin & a little hard to work with.....





Did some standard issue tandoori spiced 'turds, the beef ones, and some abt's with marinated turkey strips inside...



Start off fairly hi-heat


Set up the "MacGyver" upper deck smoking rack....




Then dump in some shread.....



The smoke starts off kinda white....



But after a few minutes, it's like this ~~~>



Trundling along....




Ron's sauce on some choink balls, too!!


And beginning to load up for the party...



The powdered honey gives a really nice flavor to these without the burnt taste of overly carmelized liquid honey.....

They're GREAT !!!

PS: I tried out the old style Weber skewer rig the next day.....
(Hi-heat grilling)











The thing on the right in the last pic is smoked baby can clams, in two strips of bacon to keep them contained......if you like clams/ oysters 'n' stuff, these things have a delectability factor of +27....................

Invention is kind of an American thing, just my small contribution.........

Yes, At first, it's a guess, sometimes these things need a few adjustments before they really sing.......this one worked right outta the gate, never have changed the fix-up.............

Tx, landarc!!!!
The shabu shabu & honey powder works, one of the few sweet with beef things I've found like that..............

Tx, Bonewagon !!!
Yeah, visually kinda neat too.....after years of looking @ bacon on a 'Turd, it a nice change !!!

And....N8man......from one beard to another.....

Here's more recent pics, taken with a much better camera of the shabu's.....

Ham lunchmeat, peanut butter & jelly 'Turds & O'Rings.............
