• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

So my wife is continuing her mastery of Tuna on the grill, and decided to try a recipe from this book:

It's a great book to try some out of the ordinary recipes.

So she started with a really nice piece of tuna, salted and peppered on the grill:

One of the key things to cooking tuna and keeping the center rare is an ice-water bath, right when it comes off the grill:

Keeps the tuna from over-cooking.

I'm thinking she may do all my slicing in the future:

Next came plating - Mache and carrots with Chef Matsuhisa's dressing:

Needless to say, my wife's aesthetic is a bit more refined than mine:

Yes - It was as good as it looked. I drank a Shiner Bock
and she had a glass of fume blanc. She thinks I'm absolutely crazy
when I start photographing food, but she's a good sport.

I did a 9# butt for Labor Day - Cooked on Sunday, wrapped in plastic and reheated Monday morning right before it was pulled and served:

Cooking the day before worked out great so I could spend more time with what's really important:

I had to stand about 5 feet back from my PC to view those :roll:

Great looking food! The tuna looked phenomenal! Big, but phenomenal. :-D
 
Will Resize in the morning

Nice stuff Richard! What do you cook on? The Tuna looks like it got seared on a Genesis, and I love the bark on the butt!

Yep - 6 year old Weber Genesis B. Things a work-horse. Butt was done on the group's original namesake, a Bandera.
