BH is based off of honey or at least honey is a strong flavor in it as far as I can tell.
I bought some USDA choice ribeyes, and my plan all week was to grill one this weekend. So, I decided to make one of my favorite sauces, a mushroom pepper corn sauce to go on both my steak, and the nice looking asparagus I saw at the grocery store .
I did my normal 24 hour dry treatment of the ribeye in the fridge, and seasoned it with k-salt and pepper.
The sauce was made earlier in the day. I started by making some clarified butter.
While that was working, I ground some peppercorns in the mortar and pestle.
I reduced some beef stock and the fresh ground pepper. Then, I added a mixture of heavy cream, some of that clarified butter, and a little bit of brandy. And, simmered that down to concentrate flavors and thicken up. Then, I added the mushrooms, and cooked it down a little more.
Then, I tossed the steak on the grill. When it was done, I foil wrapped it and let it rest. Medium rare, of course.
While the steak was resting, I grilled some fresh asparagus.
And, here is how it all turned out. Enjoy the view. I certainly enjoyed the meal.

Sunday night I made up some chicken along with an experimental brisket flat for my Brisket Cooked Like Tri-Tip thread. There was a lot more chicken left over than the brisket by the end of dinner, much to my surprise.Q up a couple of chickens to about 165. (or jsut roast them)
Pull all the meat off the bones into a big pan or wok, douse with Dreamland BBQ sauce and heat on the stove for 7-8 minutes tossing the meat and getting it well covered(and bring temps up higher). Add more sauce and serve that with garlic bread or toasted rolls....
THEN talk to us..
This is a 'go to' recipe I ALWAYS serve for football games.. or friends just hanging out.. its good stuff. If you dont like it, i'll buy any sauce u dont want.:becky: . i always have a few jars in the house.. always include it in orders, etc..
Since you didn't show a photo of it being cooked on the grill, can you describe the experience so the rest of us can imagine what it was like to grill that steak? :heh:
:becky:
OK, well, I used the leftover meat from the chicken I cut up on Sunday. The parts I cooked up were 2 breasts, 2 wings, 2 things and 2 drumsticks. The other bits were used for stock. So I guess that is 2+2+2+2=8 pieces of chicken.That looks great, Chris, but for the voting I think you need to tell us how many pieces of chicken you used.
That really does look tasty, biggie, but do I ever feel stupid. I went and made my own sauce from scratch for the "saucy" throwdown. What was I thinking. :doh:
CD :becky:
Well, I could have talked about the Mornay sauce used in my Au Gratin potatoes, made from a blonde roux made with choped garlic sauteed in the butter, whole milk and cheddar cheese. However, I didn't want to come off all snooty or anything like that.:laugh: Especially since the other sides so far in this Throwdown don't have any sauces on them!:becky:That really does look tasty, biggie, but do I ever feel stupid.

Then there is the sauce I created in the apples, which is arguably a caramel sauce.
I described the sauce completely up above. The rest of the dish was just sliced red potatoes placed in the pan, the sauce poured over, then topped with panko bread crumbs and parmesan. Yes, it was all made from scratch. I can't stand the boxed crap, just the smell of that stuff makes me want to uke:Oh, please tell us about the Mornay sauce used in your Au Gratin potatoes. Made from scratch, I'm sure.

I have no idea. I really expected a can of cream-of-mushroom soup and a slab of that boxed cheese on top. You're never going to get any votes making it from scratch. :crazy:

We cook for real here. Even when it's SPAM!:laugh: Most people would probably use boxed cake mixes for their SPAM cakes. Not I.:thumb:
