What Did You Keto Today? Part IV

:smile: … I didn’t even realize it, until the Wife happened to mention I also didn’t mention the Eggs, and then I realized you weren’t saying Fried Onions. :laughing: :+1:

Wasn’t sure if I wanted to eat, plus I need to cut up and vacuum seal some Top Sirloin the Wife picked up today, but went ahead and just made up some Pizza Dogs. 1/4 lb. Hotdogs cut in half, some Rao’s Sauce, Cheese & Pepperoni & baked for 20 minutes. Plus a slice of Chocolate Cheesecake I made V

I unfortunately made it before I saw your message. Alton knows best. I set the oven to 450 as recommended in some recipes I had read. That’s so much easier than searing so I thought I would give it a try. I think it unnecessarily dried out parts of the exterior of the roast. Next one I won’t do the in oven searing technique.

Cooking it slowly in the oven worked well. I’m going to look for a good reasonably priced crock pot.

I did pour the juices into a measuring cup and strained more than 50% of the fat off the top. I had the roast delivered from Whole Foods and it had much more fat than what I would have chosen.

I bought me a choice tri tip today. I’d love that rub recipe.


(Butter Withaspoon) #2867

Creamy duck egg soup. Beef broth base, some garden spinach and other veg, garnished with floral compostables because the bowl of yellow didn’t look quite good.

The sausages I buy have some “sausage mix” in them that contains some not so good stuff. Do the sausage lovers here manage to find meat and herb/spice only sausages? I really love my sausages but wonder if they lure me with their carbs


(Tracy) #2868

It’s hard to find zero carb sausage. As long as it only has 2 or less carbs per good sized serving, I don’t worry much about it. I’ve tried to make my own sausage by buying bulk ground pork and adding the seasonings but I never get good results.


(Laurie) #2869

I found some in Costco. A Canadian brand, sorry. These are frozen, cooked sausage rounds with very little filler, zero carbs.

Our Walmart has zero carb mild or hot Italian sausage (raw). A different taste from breakfast sausage of course.

All I can say is keep looking and read those labels. Good luck!

Here’s the basic recipe along with the YouTube video I watched for directions on doing the reverse sear.

The only revision I made to the rub recipe was avocado oil instead of whatever oil Allthingsbbq.com used. I did not make the creamy dressing because we don’t favor horseradish.

When I did ours, I used a similar contraption on our Weber (bottom picture on the left but without the rack over the pan):

Good luck!

I hit a stall and it’s time to change it up. I feed my stalls, figuring my body is complaining about the status quo. So, here’s a breakfast of ham, bacon and eggs.

How do you cook your gizzards? :heart: Them!


#2873

Actually depends on how I would like them, and what I might do or eat with them. Like the other night, they were just fried up in Butter to keep them quite chewy and crunchy, which I’ve always enjoyed and also share with our Pups as chewy treats. … But another way we’ve been doing more often is cooking them in a slow cooker/crock pot, and this is usually done for most or all day, or even over night. And they get extremely tender too! This seems to work quite well if you are adding them to a sauce or stir fry mixture, etc. I actually recorded them in my Recipe Thread if you interested. (Turkey Gizzards too) Was actually trying to re-create how I used to get them many years ago & it came out nice. Links below…

Thank you so much, from a Mississippi girl. :grin:


(Virginia ) #2875

Don’t forget, we also slow cook them to make them tender, then do a quick fry in butter just to brown and crisp up the outside leaving the inside tender. :kissing_heart:


#2876

Yep, that too. But they’re good anyway to me.


#2877

Decided to eat something before butchering up a Top Sirloin & Vacuum Sealing. Fried Eggs, Sausage, Greek Yogurt with Strawberries and Chocolate Cheesecake with a scoop of Triple Chocolate.

Finished putting the 1.5" cuts on the Top Sirloin, and sealing…

The figure rose out of the ocean… Or out of the rock…

Provolone cheese, from a big ‘log’ of it, displaying the “grain” structure it often has. Picking this apart and eating it is a longstanding pleasure for me.


(Roberta Worley) #2880

I love doing that too. There is something simply satisfying - especially when I can get a goodly long thin strand without breaking it. More’s the challenge!


(Roberta Worley) #2881

I did keto, but I didn’t stay true. But I didn’t blow it entirely. I made bulletproof coffee at home, then went out for breakfast with my husband, Steve by name, to our favorite breakfast place called Biscuit House.

The young checkout lady has been on keto for three years. My order consisted of turkey sausage with a tomato slice, fried egg, cheddar cheese and green onion. My naughtiness? Their orange cranberry scone!

Sure, I could have done better; but then again, I could have done so much worse!
