What’s for dinner?

I've been doing reverse sear for any large cut of meat. Started with pork tenderloin and it came out so juicy yet fully cooked. I don't have a grill or smoker, so my options are stove top only, oven only, or some combo, or the crock pot. Reverse searing has worked better for me than regular sear to oven recipes
Cook it first then sear it? Or?

Start it in the oven at 250ish F. Go until it's 15-20 degrees from desired doneness. Then finish/sear it in a hot cast iron. Similar to sous vide I guess, but less precision

...and not as wet. Ok, I once cooked a prime rib like that. Understood, thank you.

Those look great. I haven't had much time to grill lately, but I am finding time to brew next weekend. Maybe getting the smoker out might be my next wish after I can go to the beach. Here is hoping Santa Clause can bring Sunfire a grill for Christmas this year:):)
 
No pictures, but right after brewing, I made venison shanks in a tomato based sauce with fresh herbs, slow cooked until it was falling apart, and served it with polenta, old vine zinfandel and a romaine salad.
gnarly head is my favorite
 
For Memorial Day we made Brisket.
11# to start before trimming.
Trimmed and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder and just a little onion powder on Sat, then wrapped up until Sunday evening.
Sunday evening got the smoker going and set to 225° +/- and put the brisket in (fat side down). Let it go overnight, so the internal got to 159°, but then it cooled off a bit. Got it out of the smoker at 530 am, wrapped it up in foil and moved it to the oven at 200° and the up to 225°. The roast was pulled at 195° a little after noon and it rested for 2.5 hours. Cut at 3 pm. Wow! It was fantastic!

I am going to invest in a smoker in the near future, cant wait!
