Its Grilling season!!

[Gaazy]

Buffalo is damn good..

[vonkaar]

Never cooked any gamey meat =/
jealous

Well, venison... but that's it.

The post inspired me so I made an chili-rubbed, apple-stuffed pork loin and chili-rubbed shrimp last night. Will post sexy pictures when I get home for lunch.

Buffalo is damn good..

ya it is. i just wish i could get some here with out having to order it.

My BBQ consists of four things: Steaks, Chicken, Hot Dogs, Burgers.

I always grill with gas, and my bro-in-law always uses charcoal and I can't tell the difference. My Dad is a hardcore grill connoisseur, and has charcoal and gas and is serious about it. I fire up my gas grill and cook fast. His food blows mine away, but he takes serious time cooking. I'm a 30 minute chef.

I'm not nearly the enthusiast some like Vonk or my Dad are, but if something were to make a huge difference in taste, I'd consider it. From what I've seen is it's the prep and meat moreo than the grill, personally.

I love beef. I think it's a matter of the texture of buffalo is what I dislike so much.. there also seems to be almost a hint of like.. liver flavor in the aftertaste.

I've tried it multiple times thinking maybe I just got a bad batch or maybe I didn't like how it was prepared etc, but man.. gross every time

did you get fresh stuff? texture wise, it's the pretty much the same as beef

the in-laws raise their own, so I actually get to see the buffalo running around before we butcher them

buffalo isn't gamey at all
it's just like beef, just much leaner (beef hamburger is actually better than buffalo. the buffalo is actually too lean)

[Gypsiyee]

live anything is going to be worlds of difference between anything bought in a store or a restaurant. it isn't even on the same plane of comparison really. the taste isn't even really the same, at least not in beef.

the cattle my ex's parents raised was so different than anything i could buy in a store

so if you're asking me if i've had farm raised buffalo, no, i never have

[Tossica]

I've only had buffalo burgers and yeah, they are a bit too lean but tastey.

[Tikker]

Well, I've got a side of buffalo in the freezer, BBQ at my house this weekend

Buffalo makes an awesome chili.

[vonkaar]

Last night's meal.

I'm doing bbq chicken legs today... on the mini-weber grill, to see if I can do it all in under 15 minutes, total prep time =p. Taking pics, of course =p.

[Harrison]

I would probably murder someone for that shrimp.

[Gypsiyee]

wtb your loin recipe.

[Jay]

Jesus christ those shrimp are big.

[vonkaar]

wtb your loin.

[Gypsiyee]

lol >.<

[Arlos]

That pork loin looks a bi dry there, Vonk. You overcook it a tad? Shrimp look good, tho.

-Arlos

[vonkaar]

It was WAY dry 8(

[Tikker]

I'll post pics of the buffalo steaks i BBQ'd tonight

[Arlos]

Yeah, Vonk, pork's tricky like that. Always found there to be a real narrow window between "done enough" and "approaching shoe leather". Even harder to hit that narrow gap on a grill where you don't have absolute temperature control, and you've got different textures of stuff throughout the roll. Still, looked like a good concept.

You might want to invest in one of those probe thermometers, I've really considered it, and if I grilled more often, I'd probably do it; would make a bunch of things way simpler than going by touch, feel, etc.

-Arlos

[Tikker]

there's no poking holes in meat, ever

[Tikker]

Risotto and salad, and that's really only about 1/3 of one of the steaks. they were enormous

[vonkaar]

I have 2 thermometers that USUALLY work great... pork loin is actually one of my specialties. In this case, it was like... 140°... 140°... come back 3 minutes later, 175°, damnit... what the fuck?

[Gypsiyee]

pork tenderloin i've always undercooked just a little bit and let it sit since it continues to cook while it sits. maybe i've been lucky; i've never tasted a dry pork loin

tikker - that looks good actually. i've only had buffalo in semi processed forms i guess; burgers, jerkied, etc.

[KaiineTN]

I feel like such an outcast, I can't stand any pink at all in any of my meat... I cook the shit out of it, and I generally prefer dry over moist, at least to an extent.

[Harrison]

That's blasphemy
