Looks like it's quite the day for it. Putting Mudgeeraba Spices and Curry Blends Taipan BBQ Mexicana spice mix through its paces as a rub on this beautiful easy-carve Tasmanian leg of lamb from Kawungan Quality Meats.

Scratching around for dinner ingredients tonight then discovered this Deckle Steak AKA Spinalis Dorsi in the freezer. A quick thaw then straight into a screaming hot cast iron pan, rested, & topped with a zesty chimmichurri. No wonder those in the know call this cut "Butchers Butter". Much yum & tender as.

That's what I'm talking about: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-27/the-smoked-barbecue-meat-communities-mean-so-much-to-men/103934178?fbclid=IwY2xjawESaTtleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHfOVL9P1jwUCYXz0vh2aUhxXwr0QexwG0R2iCKjcWUp5G0Cz7eaapkkEyg_aem_Eb_UarMc__t5u0ebg6l2uQ

There's been an "explosive" surge in Australia's smoked meats community, with barbecue community groups serving as inadvertent online men's sheds where meat, mateship and masculinity are all on the menu.

Lovely S.Kidman Chuck smoked for 14 hours "the old-fashioned way" at the Low'n'Slow BBQ Shack, about to become delicious pulled beef. Spices freshly roasted and ground. Amazing aromas at the Shack right now.

Very chuffed to score some amazingly marbled Deckle cuts of beef from Kawungan Quality Meats. A big thank you to Dale. It's called "Butcher's Butter" by butcher's and spinalis dorsi in the anatomist's manual. It's the ribeye cap, the tastiest beef cut of all.
I have been considering how I was going to cook it; Low'n'Slow for amazing slices, go further for incredible pulled beef, or reverse-sear it, or go hot & fast on a smoking hot grill over charcoal.
Then I read this article. Decision made.

Ribeye cap, light of my life when there's fire in my grill. My steak, my soul. Rib-eye-cap. It's deckle, plain deckle, in the kitchen, sitting one foot four when trimmed. It's calotte in France. It's Butcher's Butter in the shop. It's spinalis dorsi in the anatomist's manual. But in my tongs, it is....

Pumped for test drive number 2 of The Sauce Artisan Chimichurri on a cracka reverse-seared rib fillet steak. Can say for sure that this sauce loves steak. Delicious combo. And perfect on the smoked portobellos too! Much yum.

Managed to hang the tongs up for half a day lol.

An FB post just reminded me of the pickled veggie "Daleks" I created for a BBQ comp a few years ago. They make a great side for low'n'slow BBQ'ed beef short ribs, brisket, etc, in a retro kind of way. Pickle juices release onto the plate as the jello melts.

A Sunday arvo chance to recuperate between Low'n'Slow BBQ Shack catering gigs...so what better way to to recharge the batteries than by firing up the BBQ pit for a cracka reverse-seared Dry Aged OP Rib Fillet?

Dry Aged by Kawungan Quality Meats for 35 days, sliced on Friday, seasoned with Tetsuya's Truffle Salt & pepper & smoked low'n'slow over cherry wood before searing off on smoking hot GrillGrates till medium rare. You can probably see in the pics how this steak is almost falling part even before it has left the BBQ pit & rested. So tender & so much flavour!

Plated up with:
Pacific Oysters in lime & EVO vinagrette
Boutique Sauces Green Peppercorn & Brandy sauce
Street Corn Ribs
BBQ'ed jacket potato topped with Southwest Chipotle sauce & Bacon Jam
The Shack's Mojo Salsa side salad

AND, a sneaky sample of the brand new vintage of Heritage Estate Wines Estate's SOMME SHIRAZ...a wine made in heaven just for us BBQ Lovers. A luscious, easy drinking, unoaked shiraz, bursting with bright berry flavour.

BBQ season just climbed to the next level. I've just about died & gone to heaven.

You can get your hands on this gem via Heritage's online ordering page: https://heritageestate.wine/product/somme-shiraz-2023/
Top work Heritage Estate.

My Sunday arvo is sorted!
Cheers.

Reverse-seared Airfryer rib fillet... 25 minutes in low temp BBQ pit over cherrywood, then a quick blast on full revs in the Kmart airfryer. Charry bits around the edges much yum. As were the butter boated Perfect Melt Cheese-topped jacket potatos. Yes, will do again.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to our Low'n'Slow BBQ Sunday Sesh at Seafront Seafood yesterday and enjoyed a cruisy afternoon of cool tunes from 2EZ in the beer garden.

A great article by Good News Fraser Coast...

People walking past The Low'n'Slow BBQ Shack’s trailer-mounted offset BBQ pit have commented on the mouth-watering aromas - and those aromas are translating into delicious barbeque dishes.
