Whiskey Butter Injected Beef Tenderloin
So I've been playing with my "meat injector" (thanks for the overseas delivery JuneDaye!) or a few months now and I'm starting to get the hang of things. But here's a quick run down if you are thinking of entering this strange a interesting new realm: Ummmmm. Meat Syringe. Butter is Better - I once... Continue Reading →
Faking It
Faking it is an important skill. No joke. You need to know how to do this sort of thing when to have a bunch of friends over for a quick BBQ, and you open your spice cupboard, and BAM! You're out of steak spice. This is common occurance. Especially here in Bali where my spices... Continue Reading →

Proper Aussie Lamb Chops
So it's been a while since I've cooked anything at all; but thanks to the benevolence of my good friends here in Bali (and the "Ex-Pat" lifestyle, thanks again John and Meredith Lancett!), I have recently inherited a propane BBQ.

A lot of people in my small living roomFinding decent beef in Indonesia is an interesting adventure.This weekend it was my birthday and what does every red-blooded man want on his birthday? Steak.

Rocky Mountain Pork – ASIAN STYLE!
See the pink?Full to the brim!Years ago, when my family first discovered the tattered remains of the original BBQ Bible (aka: the "Dead Sea  BBQ Scrolls") there was a recipe known as Rocky Mountain Pork. It doesn't sound like anything special really, but the product was so scrumptious and awe inspiring - that for years, we had... Continue Reading →
