Corned Beef
Ribs |

|
In the U.S. corned beef and St.
Patrick's Day goes hand in hand and many come together
over this meal in celebration. This is my interpretation
of this traditional feast.
Corned beef ribs are something I started playing around
with a few years back. I still use the same brine recipe
I posted in my blog
Corned Beef on a Stick. I did,
however, change the cooking technique in this version.

Corned beef
has to be one of my favorite foods. I love it with
cabbage and potatoes, on a reuben or just all by it's
salty, fatty delicious self. I’m not talking about the
sliced crap you get at the local supper market, it’s the
slow braised hunks of cured meat right out of the pot,
falling apart hot tender corned beef.

Beef Short Ribs |
|
|
I got
your beef right here... beef short ribs, that is. These
are not your every day short ribs, the kind you find in
the supermarket or in Korean style cooking. These are
monster, untrimmed, meaty, beef-pork ribs. Like any cut
of beef short rib, they need to be cooked low and slow
for a long time to make them melt in your mouth tender.

Burgers
|
The hamburger is the perfect backyard food to experiment
with. There are endless possibilities when creating a
recipe and every bar and gastro-pub has their own
interpretation of this simple concept. Here in Philly,
every time you turn around there is someone advertising
the "best" burger! I say the best burger is the one you
create yourself. I put together a few burgers to share.

Stuffed Pork Belly
|
|
|
I'm kind of obsessed with this cut of pork, which you
may already know from my previous postings -
Fun with Pork Belly - in multiple parts. Fatty
delicious belly of pork, bacon is made from this cut,
spare ribs are cut from it and it hold the intense
flavor... the essence of pig. OK, I obviously have
issues here so let's not linger. I'm not reinventing the
wheel with this one, it's just my interpretation of a
classic.
