KC Defense and Kelce did me a fantasy solid this weekend. Exciting finish to the game with another W for the Chiefs.
I had plans yesterday to get a couple of things done, but my body said to take it easy, so I did. I did have a very mild elevation in body temp (99.5). I am wondering if I am fighting off something viral. Whole body aching. Maybe it was the fall in the parking lot, but I think I was feeling off before then. Normal temp this am and feeling refreshed.
I will say that with the cooler nights, my mattress heating pad is super nice.
Last night I experimented with by breaking down a chuck eye roast (not all chuck roasts have a good chuck eye) into 2 chuck eye steaks and 4 short rib sections then reverse seared them. $6.99/lb. Very well marbled meat. Cooked to medium (just pink). Both cuts had about the same degree of chew as a sirloin, lots of flavor, but not melt in your mouth tender. The challenge was making sure you got the cut against the grain right with the short rib sections. After the cook it was hard to see the grain, so next time I will stick a tooth pick in with grain so I will get it right first slice. Not something I would serve company, but good enough for me. The other option would be to braise the short rib section or use it for a beef stew.
Served with oven roasted sweet potato slices. I have also been eating a fair amount of spaghetti squash.
