Ever grilled beef back ribs or short ribs? Seems like everyone online has all kinds of rules that make me feel like I'll fail. I picked up some back ribs, and I thought I'd just grill them a long time in the cooler part of the grill with the lid on, like 3 hours (?)

The salmon with Asian slaw and Sriracha aioli I posted a pic of in the Great Recipes thread at TOS. No pic this time, but holy fuck it was good.

Eating over the sink is better than eating in front of the fridge, IMHO.

Big fans of beef short ribs at my house. They're almost idiot proof. Can cook for a half-hour or 3 hours. Thin cut or thick.
Take well to steak seasoning. Marinate beforehand in brown sugar, hot sauce (Sriracha) and soy sauce for a Korean flair. Mmmmmmm.

Some cook them so they "fall off the bone". If you like them that way, gotta cook them a long time in liquid to break down all the connective
tissue. I've made them that way in a slow-cooker, using coffee as a main ingredient. Really good that way, but I'm perfectly OK with them
cooked dry and ending up chewy.

Nothing wrong with either method.

We really do need to eat biscuits more often. Should be a staple, like they are in The Grapes of Wrath. Noodles for dinner? Gonna need biscuits with that. I've read how frozen biscuits have gotten so good that, even in the south, people have decided there's no point in making your own.

Thanks. And this issue about "fall off the bone" has gone too far. People demand that, so bbq restaurants end up boiling their ribs so that happens. IMO, chewy ribs are where it's at.

For tonight, I made this up but I'm sure it would go over well in Sicily: penne with olive oil, pan-toasted pine nuts, pan-grilled finely chopped onions, cherry tomatoes, basil, kalamata olives, tuna, capers, grated lemon zest, and finished with fish sauce and extra-virgin olive oil.

I put in an order with my fish monger for tomorrow night: a wild king salmon who at this very minute is still swimming obliviously in Alaska.

Liverwurst sandwich with havarti, tomato, lettuce, mayo, Guldens mustard, lots of fresh cracked pepper, on both the wurst and tomato layers, and a pinch of salt on a pretzel hoagie roll. Every once in a while a liverwurst sandwich is the ticket. Plain original Ruffles potato chips on the side. Cold Red Stripe. Followed by cold Fly Line Vienna style lager from local Payette Brewing Co.

Yep. Looking forward to trying their new cuisine. Their sushi was maybe a B+. Hope their Korean is better.

4 5-6 oz Swordfish steaks
1/3+ cup White Wine
1/3 cup EVOO
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup grilling seasoning
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp water
1 tsp fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
1 lemon zest

Salt/Pepper fish, then marinate at room temp for 20-30 minutes.

I use charcoal, but hot, so high heat if propane.

Grill 3 minutes per side, flipping until each side is cooked for 6-7 minutes (moist) 9-10 (flakey), marinating the top side after each flip.

Use remaining marinade to sauté some lemon zest dusted Zucchini/Summer Squash, add rice and glass of Pinot Grigio and you have a crisp, clean taste than is robust but not over powering.

We had our department picnic yesterday, and I was the griller as usual. I took some of the leftover cheeseburgers home to feed my family. 1/3 lb sirloin burgers from Costco.

Veggie burgers too for that matter.

Healthy glass of cabernet.

Longhorned · Post by **Longhorned** » Thu Jun 19, 2014 8:27 am

For tonight I plan more than one healthy glass of some kind of cold white wine.

And I went overboard and ordered me a pound of troll-caught Alaskan Wild King Salmon. They catch it in the ocean with herring-baited hook-and-line, and the fish is supposedly higher quality than the more matured salmon more easily caught in the river. $33 a pound. We'll see.

I'm going to grill it over charcoal.
