The nice Minnesota weather is quickly fading and winter is knocking at the door – but that’s not going to stop me from enjoying some quality home-cooked meals! I cooked up some nice, juicy bacon-wrapped filets yesterday on my skillet, but I still need to buy one that’s a smooth surfaces so I can really char the outside and get that contrast that I’ve been seeing at steakhouses.
This weekend I’m planning on breaking in my new Brinkmann smoker by having a marathon brisket preparing session. I’m planning on spending 6 hours slow-roasting and smoking a nice 7-pound brisket. I’m going to follow this blogger’s recipe – which sounds pretty tasty: http://goo.gl/oyl5Y
I just need to make sure I have enough propane…
Yes, it’s a propane smoker. Yes, I’m embarrassed. And yes, it makes me less of a man to use propane all the time – but you really can’t beat the convenience and it’s much easier to keep clean. If I decide that I like the flavor of smoked meat and it’s something that I won’t be able to live without then I’ll buy a much nicer wood-burning grill/smoker combo. Until that day I’ll manage with what I’ve got (and what I have the budget for).
I can't wait to enjoy this brisket while I watch the Badgers stomp the Spartans on Saturday night. (Not that I'm a huge fan of Wisconsin - I'm a Golden Gopher, after all - just because that's how I see this particular game unfolding...)
