I'm jealous! You're quite the cook. Today I grilled some simple pork steaks (my specialty). I burn hard wood. Burn it down to coals. Throw on 4 pork steaks for about 15 minutes, flipping every 5 minutes. Then I uncover the grill and let the temperature creep up. I brush on the BBQ sauce and flip. The sauce needs to be slightly burned on. Once this is accomplished, it's done.

Where I live the very best place to eat is 30 minutes away at the cattle sales barn. Anything really different it an hour away in Waco. Before making the stew I smoked the latest batch of buckboard bacon.

Looks great boon. Your lucky the local tourist restaurants around here suck and that is putting it lightly. I would rather eat WWII K rations and I ain't kidden..

By coincidence, my wife just took a hunk of venison out of the freezer. In the next few days I'll be trying some new recipe. Half the fun is picking one out.

Last time, I tried a trick that worked. I soaked venison chunks in sparkling water. It made it a lot more tender. Any body else try this?
