Wow, I never even THOUGHT about using sous vide for beef on weck.  I wish I'd have read this earlier, I won't have 20 hours.  

 

I've done it a few times now, it makes a suuuuper tender beef, perfect for On Wecking ?

 

I follow Charlie's process for the rolls and top with some Miller horseradish.  The results?  Mmmmmmm, Proper.   :beer:

I bought a top round for my wecks.  No sous vide; just low and slow.  I can't get Miller's where I live, which really sucks.  Makes a big difference.

 

What is Charlie's process for the rolls?  I just butter the tops then dip in the salt/caraway seeds, then bake for ~10 min or so.

I think it's just corn starch instead of butter.

Work 3am-3pm after 3-4 hours of sleep and then hang out with the kids on the couch watching the game. The menu will consist of whatever is the easiest to make that keeps them happy. I'm looking at you frozen chicken nuggets.

Throw a pork shoulder in the crock pot & turn it on super low right before you leave for work. All ya need is some buns bbq sauce and coleslaw after that. Easy and much much better football food. Damn, I think I might just do that now, now I'm hungry, lol

I'm doing Beef on Weck and will be using the "Charlie the Butcher" corn starch method for the rolls.

 

Here is an option for some people to try.  The old "Bailo's" on Bailey would have this option.

 

Use some of the corn starch/water mix to "thicken" the Au Jus, add it slowly to the desired thickness.  Add black pepper and a dash of "Kitchen Bouquet" for some

extra flavor.  Just before serving dredge the beef thru the gravy (draining most of the gravy off before putting on the roll).

Of course the proper amount of horseradish is a must.

 

Serve with mashed potatoes and a side of pickled red cabbage.

Check page 1, the video is linked there - just FF to the roll part.  He uses water and cornstarch, brushes it on, then a quick back to hold the salt and caraway.  He also reccos pretzel salt, but I'm not the biggest fan, I go with Maldon Sea Salt flakes, 'cause I'm a gourmand... ?

 

All I need now is an Alto-Sham oven and I'd be in business.  Anyone on this board know Charlie himself?  I'm ready to take over the chain, when he's ready to retire (you know, after I retire from my current job). ?

I went with an eye round (I believe), it has a bit of marbling, but too much fat - should should be nice for slicing after a long cook.  And ya gotta get one of these too to feel like a real carving station pro:

Are you going to wear a diaper to avoid going to the bathroom since you don't plan on moving during the games? 

A real fan just urinates on themselves

I avoid knives during Bills games. Safer for everyone that way.

She from New Zealand or just trying hard to put on the dumb blonde routine?

She’s just not into sports.  Bless her heart, she tried and I respected her efforts.  And she’s coming to this one since she was obviously the reason the Bills lost!

Fooled me. I was thinking you slept at at a Holiday Inn.

Where does one find this sabre for future use?

 

Well, it’s a Buffalo Sabre, of course!

 

Speaking of which, taking grandson to Predators/Sabres game in Nashville in a couple weeks. Love that town! Probably stop buy Bar Louie’s for some prompt service. ?

So, some actual service would have excited you a bit? I think they may have been doing you a favor, because they had been quite prompt and generous with us. For a while, a good long while.

 

In retrospect, you may have been guilty by association, and if that’s the case, I apologize. But, our drinks just kept coming for some reason....I think she just wanted to get with you on a deeper level, and you refused to step up. I guess we will never know....

Fix the brake line on my Titan, watch the Pats game and hope they get crushed. Watch a convincing Bills D performance that destroys the Oilers!

 

Or......DON’T fix the brake line, and give the Pats a ride to the stadium. Maybe wear a helmet for yourself. 

 

As for the menu, thinking hot Italian sausage with peppers and onions. It’s hard to do it “right” for a crowd of one.

I just got a Josh Allen Jersey for Christmas and haven’t worn it yet.  If I wear it and the lose, it will be dead to me.  
 

I have my daughter with me to watch, but she did watch the last one with me too.  Definitely just the two of us. 
 

Probably just have wings.

 

What’s everyone else’s plan?
 

 

It is going to look pretty bad for me. Half way through the game, I need to leave for a 25th anniversary party?

the biggest failures were with the microphones. 
Considered a total loss 


going to be 60 today 40 tomorrow 

I guess taking the decorations down is in order before the game.

I’m up and doing push-ups/studying for my upcoming coding boot camp admissions test. So excited for the game. Going to show some apartments to clients in the afternoon then head to the Bills backers bar in Brooklyn for some wings and Labatt Blue. After that, if I’m not too drunk I’ll visit the new gf at work per her request (I’m not a stalker).

Off to a terrible start.  Woke up at 3:45am, thought about the game, tried to go back to sleep.  Not happening 

 

I was up and down all night too - nowhere near a solid sleep.

 

That said, the beef is still trucking, I got rolls to weck, there are Blues on ice in the cooler.

 

Plus, while I was at the store this morning I got several "Go Bills! I think they can do it today!".  One guy said, "The Bills are playing really well this year, I'm a Packers fan, but it's fun to see the Bills win.  Anyone but the Pats."   I agreed and said yeah "Fu"...I mean, "anyone but", the Pats!!  :beer:
