Title: Fillet Time
Post by: Old Hickory on June 28, 2013, 06:59:20 PM

Took one of my fillets out of the freezer and after a thaw seasoned with OO, garlic salt and crushed bl. pepper.

Then into the Bradley for a 45 min. cold smoke, then onto the gasser 2 1/2 min. on each side.

Then plated with baked potato, butter, sour cream and chives.  Artichoke with dip on the side and a glass of good red wine.

The IT was 133* after a 4 min. rest.  Sorry about the exposure on the pic.

This is simple and so good:

Trim the stalk to flat on the bottom.
Put your artichoke in your vessel of choice and add water to cover 3/4 of the artichoke.
Add 1tbs vinegar
Add 1tbs OO
Bring to a soft boil for approx. 40 to 45 mins.  You want the leaves to slightly fall away from the center when you remove from the water ( see my pic )  and you want the leaves to pull easy from the heart.  If they don't, it's not quite done.

I use a lemon-butter or Ranch Dressing or Mayo for the dip.  Lemon-butter is my fav.

Mike, I have steamed before, but I like this method better.  I think the meat of the artichoke is more tender.

Dee, my wife got the other half of this 2" steak :( ;)

Old Hickory I am splitting them after steaming and the finishing on the grill so a little underdone works out perfect ;)
