Show Us Your Meat, and We'll Show You Ours

[SlimKlim]

Lifting this idea from Taylor's hobby thread. Apparently we all enjoy cooking dead things and drinking good beer, so we might as well have a thread to show it off. Let's get down to business:

This was a pan-sear, oven-finish tenderloin I made for Lauren's birthday with white cheddar mashed sweet potatoes and broccoli with caramelized onion and bacon bits. This was the best Filet I've ever made, I used a remote meat thermometer to let them cook to exactly 125* and then let them rest in a tin foil tent for 10 minutes to finish cooking to medium rare.



Felt randomly inspired to try making my own cream of mushroom soup a while ago. So I got some dried porcinis and a crapton of assorted mushrooms, cooked the crap out of them for about 40 minutes, added some chicken stock, blended about half of it, then served it with a slice of toasted baguette, mascarpone cheese, more mushrooms, fresh parsley and a some lemon juice and zest.



Boilermaker Chili. This is the crown jewel of my cooking skill set. It's legitimately my own recipe that I've tweaked and modified from the chili recipe my mom used to make me as a kid. Takes me about 6 hours to make a proper batch and has a ton of stuff in it, but all you need to know is bacon, beer, bourbon, chocolate.



Now what have you MM. I believe some claims of "best brisket you ever tasted" were made.
