Thread: Rig (Lemon fish)

My weber family Q BBQ has turned me into a master steak cook

It gets Farkin hot and I cook steak with lid down. Took a bit to get times right but everyone I have cooked steak for has made polite comments about my abilities whether it is beef or game you can't muck it up once you have your times right.

I still remeber the 1st time I saw wife cooking a steak with lid on
Started screaming saying WTF are doing etc etc
Soon learnt to shut up
12 years on and in all honesty - I can think of maybe 2-3 tuff-ish steaks.
Always perfect
Steak also coated as with fish mention above.

Fish like 1" rig is no more than 90/60 seconds - done

Wow - you guys are surprising me - thought be sreams of "no lid on"
Webber same - lid down - but for more guarantee of tenderness the sreaming - smoking hot frypan on the Gas at full revs is more reliable
Ours is the baby webber but - still great and gives that littel extra flavour as you all know already :-)

I have done some very tuff looking home kills
Used to do home kills for butcher in Reporoa 30 years ago
Got 20$ + hide

Jesus - you should have seen some of the dairy farmers home meat consumtion = mostly the clog wearing brigade farmers I must add

But - yes you are correct proper home kill should be primo melt in your mouth.

But - I do remeber 1 time - walked into shop and Butch had the fry pan on and said "try this" it melted in our mouths.
He said " you know that skinny dairy cow with the gammy leg that you did last week

Your right on the button
Jersey/Heroford or Jersey/Angus - best meat of all
Yellow looking fat is the only negative.

Anyone tried that Wagyu beef ??

I have an idea.
I will supply @mikee some fresh rig he can prepare and cook then I can review the recipe

The family only kill Jersey/Hereford or Angus.
Never had a bad beefy off the farm. Best farm meat I have eaten.

Looks good apart from the rod torture.

Friday next. Take the boat down for some blue cod and trumpeter.

Just a day trip but will be a long day.
Just need the tides right.

We can work around you. I won't be in any hurry.

I thought the same thing. No doubt they can have yet another venison steak to cheer themselves up though
