I've eaten picanha at churrascarias, but never at home. (No local Brazilian butchers out here.) Definitely good stuff though. By the way, ever been to Porto Alegre in Pasadena? If so, what did you think? It's my favorite churrascaria so far, but I figure you would be a better judge. I'm sure you've had better. That's it!
Never been. Out your way, Green Field in West Covina is good. IMO, Fogo De Chao is the best, though. Whats a good night for you, lets get some grillin' happenin'! We can start the fire with the $50.
Sweet. Now I have to work on my butchering skills to dissect that off the rib roast in my freezer. Although not exactly the same, you can sometimes get tri tip with a fat cap as a substitute for picanha....T
Culottes are sometimes available in meat cases. Same thing as Picanha, but already cut to @ 1" thickness. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Wasn't really impressed with Green Field. I'll definitely try Fogo de Chao though. Give Porto Alegre a try sometime. It's pricey, but the meats are damned good.
I have one of these. Am on my 2nd, wore the first one out. I've been cooking on them 15+ years. TEC Infrared Grills
Twice fried.... Seems like a lot of work with high risk/low reward ratio. http://www.yahoo.com/food/twice-fried-porterhouse-steak-sort-of-blows-our-115306054221.html
Crime against beef. I've seen several recipes for deep fried steak. I might try it on a cheap cut, just to do something different, but a porterhouse? No way. Also, hot oil + frozen food = bad idea....T
I just read this recipe and really couldn't see why this would be any better than doing a standard reverse sear. Mark
Looked like it was high on show, low on substance blog post. Speaking of reverse sear - anyone ever try it with sous vide first, then scorching hot skillet to finish off?....T
Dude, you live in Houston, home of one of the best steakhouse in Texas, Pappas Bros. Get your beef on! T
Yeah, I agree. . Usually. Sometimes it's nice to sit down and let someone else do the cooking. Now that one can easily source prime, dry aged, wagyu, akaushi, grain fed, etc. beef, it makes little sense to pay restaurant upcharges for great steak. All you need is a Weber kettle, some wood or charcoal and you're eating like a king. Case in point, wife and I had prime strip steaks from Costco over a pecan fire last night. Getting the wood fire started and burnt down was the only thing that took any time....T
So true. I haven't been to the Houston store, but the Dallas location is easily the best beef I've ever eaten. 24 oz bone in ribeye. I'm remember that as fondly as losing my virginity
Check out TEC Grills, same technology as any upscale steakhouse. Save your cast iron skillet for making a Frittata.
