Photo was taken years ago not expecting to be in front of greatness. We ate straight off the plate at nearly midnight 😌😳

Bro

This picture is from a few years ago and I've since moved away from Florida as well. The Publix logo stuck out to me like crazy when I saw it as well 🥺

My man! I've been also digging tri tip a lot recently.

For NY Strip, I go around 129 for a couple hours in the bath; season with salt, generous powdered garlic, freshly crushed black pepper corns and mustard seed in a mortar and pestle (I got a baby one I use for spices). Only thing to mind is how much mustard to add, aim for just a small hint of funky flavor - I shoot for maybe a quarter tsp per lb of meat.

Let it sit on some paper towels after the bath for at least a half hour to let the internal temp come down and to dry the outside. Whack it on a ripping hot cast iron skillet with butter, herbs, yadda just until we get it crunchy. I might also sear it on the grill if the weather is nice!

My favorite pan sauce is a bordelaise. The whole process is incredibly simple and is always a hit!

The plastic is safe at the temperatures it is expected to operate at. If we are using science as a guide then the micro find layer of char on the outside is a bigger risk.

But all food has risks. Everything is toxic in a large enough quantity.
