Title: Grilled Sirloin --- more elegant than it sounds
Post by: Barry CB Martin on April 28, 2013, 04:32:54 PM: I'm very fortunate that Miss Laura enjoys food as much as I do. Not foodie-food folks, just well-prepared and delicious food. Saturday we enjoyed a day together kicking about and one of the best parts was shopping, prepping, cooking and eating together.

Hasselback Potatoes were the first idea, then a special 1lb sirloin steak in the managers special bin, some fresh local asparagus and mushrooms from a local grower...I think even the onions were grown in the state. A tasty meal with the best dinner companion I can imagine.

Great looking plate CB, one question, what is a hassleback potatoe?

Thank you. "Hassleback" is a pretty simple preparation technique that results in a flavorful baked potato. There are most likely a couple dozen or more "best ways" to do this - we simply brush off the exterior of russet potato and slice it every 1/8 inch or so to about 3/4 of the way from top-to-bottom. This kinda-sorta results in an accordion looking tater. You can roast it like that, you can oil and season it, you can smoosh butter or oil between the slices and you can add herbs, bacon, etc. I suspect that you will have not trouble getting creative. Roast open or wrapped at about 400°F for about an hour or until fork tender. I know that some of the other members have roasted potatoes in their cookers and pretty sure some have produced tasty results in their Big Easy cookers. It's not a whole lot different, mostly kind of a presentation thing, the inside does get a little crisper on the edges but there is also some drying out to overcome with butter and/or sour cream and/or olive oil.

The "humble" sirloin is imbued with some of the best meaty savor on the beef critter. If I were to be executed and get to select my last meal (glad that is a hypothetical situation) it would be a sirloin steak. I love beef and enjoy lots of other cuts but the sirloin is KING of the herd ;D

Post by: bbqchef on May 04, 2013, 07:21:54 AM: Years ago I learned a neat trick for doing Hasselback potatoes...

Place two chopsticks or skewers along side the potatoes and use them as a "stop" when you're slicing that way you get to slice the potatoes without going too far.
