My everyday bacon (really it’s once or twice a month at most) is Costco Kirkland bacon.
The only mail order bacon I’ve had is called Nueske’s and I think it’s from Wisconsin. It’s not super outrageously expensive, but it does cost more than grocery store bacon. I give it Look here, a 5lb pack is $55 so $11 per pound for some premium stuff.
At 425 for 50 to 1 hr? On foil in the smoker, or is the foil in the Mar 27 pic just for serving?
We did a Peruvian neighbor’s (chicken wing) recipe in the oven a couple of years back. Quite tasty, but wife said recipe was involved. Probably try the dry rub first.
I was out of chuck from my freezer (shocking)
Had to use a “sirloin” or “rump” roast.
Went with sirloin and toasted some extra bacon on it as it looked too lean.
In hindsight, it might have been a tri-tip, and i should have cooked it differently.
Still on its way up, at about 175 after 6 hours.
Currently wrapped in butcher paper.
Looking at a 6pm to 7pm dinner.
The plan was to do an all day cook and this was the best looking thing i could find in my freezer on friday (other than a full brisket that would not have been thawed by sunday night).
We have countless rib, T-bone and sirloin from our past steer, so that is whete we normally turn for steak.
However, after noticing how many rump and sirloin roasts i have down there, i need to get creative.
Turned out really good.
Forgot to take pictures as we had a “tornado watch” level thunderstorm come through just as it was time to take off the finished product.
Bacon was useful for the leaner cut we ended up using.
