What will your meat be for Christmas?
« on: December 04, 2017, 02:13:55 PM »

I am sure some will have more then 2 meats, but I would think that is a small %.  Will give you a couple of choices.

Growing up, it was always Turkey.  Later the family went to a Rib Roast.  This year we are opting out of the family gathering and are not even sure what we are going to have.  I think I might splurge and go with some really fine Seafood, that would be a 1st!

I'm thinking about dropping the bucks and do a whole beef tenderloin for the family.
It's very easy to do and I don't think you can go wrong.
+ it's real family favorite.

You are correct, with anyone who enjoys beef, you cannot go wrong with that selection!

prime rib roast and dungeness crab.  Nearing a 10 year tradition on that meal.   Though my youngest is having chicken nuggets as is her tradition.

Keeping it simple this year for Christmas. Guinness stew. I haven't decided if I want to use beef or lamb though.

This year we are going to have a pork loin, a brisket flat and a double smoked ham.  I am from a pretty good sized family we make enough food to feed a small army and we preface every meal with if you go home hungry its your own fault.

More than likely grilled salmon but could end up doing Filet Mignon.

We are having a store bought bone in ham, the standing rib we are aging and Fettucine Alfredo. Used to always do rib roast, king crab and Fettucine but switched it up this year on the crab/ham swap.

Always had turkey but started a once a year experiment with prime rib roast from Costco. My twelve year old has decreed that is the Christmas meal from now on - period. Did some crab legs on the DB a couple of weeks ago so may have to include some of those also.

I had planned on doing another brisket like last Christmas.  But I have been unable to find one the size (6 lb) that I want.  The smallest one was at Costco and it was 14 pounds.  If I cannot find a brisket I will do  1 1/2" thick ribeye's from my local butcher.  I did two of these over the summer and they were great.

Elaborate please.  Unless you seek it out, crab legs are precooked.   Frankly I'm not sure I'd want a kiss of smoke on my crab but you've got me curious.

Likely will be a turkey breast.  Jury's still out if it will be in the oven or the smoker.  I know which cooking method I want!

My wife and I are hosting a fairly large Christmas dinner on the 18th (probably around 80-100 people). I have two boneless rib eyes (10 and 12 lb) and a pork loin that I am curing using the recipie pmillen posted for Canadian bacon (made one for Thanksgiving and it was great)! Will probably do another pork roast and a some kind of chicken.

Still having auger problems with the grill, so I hope to have it up and running in time. If not I may have to humble myself and grovel with a friend who has a stick burner. I hope it doesn't come down to that!!
