Simple Dinner, Reuben
« on: May 21, 2015, 06:50:17 PM »
Dinner tonight was simple, spent time with friends on a water today and wanted to keep it easy.

We had smoked corned beef on rye bread, with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and french dressing with a side of chips!

Are there Smith's Markets where you are?  Their in-store bakery makes some real nice rye bread.  They offer light rye, marbled rye and dark rye.  I like the marbled or dark.

No the choices here are Publix and Winndixie, in Florida.

Publix, really has some good breads, but when I am not being lazy.... or traveling all the time I bake a much better bread.

I am smoking 2 butts, one on the SI and one on on the keg. I was going to do one on the Traeger also so I could do round 2 of the Keg vs SI vs Traeger deal. I didn't want to cook that many butts so it'll be a 2 horse race this time.

I am making ABTs, moinks, baked beans, slaw to go with the pork. Should be good!

Sounds like a least a few great meals!

I should be interesting to see how the cook times and taste compare.

By the way what are moinks?

A moink is a meatball wrapped in bacon, cooked low with a little smoke, bbq sauce basted on them at the end of the cook. I use ground chuck, eggs and breadcrumbs, a little garlic & onion powder. Once assembled,  dust with a coffee  rub. Moink stands for moo and oink.

Thanks for sharing!

I feel like I've hijacked Greg's thread here! Sorry Greg.

For the coffee rub, I either make my own (recipe to follow) or I use one made by Weber that I picked up at Sam's. It's very good, has a kick!


The recipe for mine (great on pork tenderloin BTW!) is this :

RG's Smoky Espresso Rub

1 Tbs brown sugar
1.5 tsps smoked paprika (regular paprika can be used but you'll really miss that smoked flavor if you don't use it)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 teaspoon instant espresso granules or 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules (I use instant coffee, dollar store stuff)

This is a keeper, feel free to add a little cayenne to kick it up a notch, 1/4 tsp should do it.
