Had some axis tenderloin smoked and frozen already.  Sous vide at 130 for 6 hours straight out of freezer.  Topped with a carrot & ginger reduction.  Brussels with bacon & cranberries and tossed with a balsamic reduction.  Smashed potatoes with garlic & romano.

It is a deer Native to India.  They are free range in Texas now and as such, year round hunting without a limit or tag needed.  My parent’s land has some range through there so I try to put one in the freezer about every 2 years.  You can hunt them in dead of summer too without fear of getting ill as they are immune to the parasites that native animals have that make people sick if harvested in hit weather.

As far as meat, most comparable with elk.  To me elk & axis are 1a & 1b in terms of quality/flavor.  If pressed, I would say I prefer axis.

Looks amazing. Is 6 hours necessary from frozen? Don’t think I’m there yet in terms of using all the cool kitchen gadgets but when I start throwing myself into it a vacuum sealer and sous vide will be my first purchases.

Not sure if necessary that long but once you open the bag or pierce it with a thermometer to read meat temp you are kind of game over on the sous vide unless you want to go through the trouble of removing it and sealing it again.

Garlic chicken ramen.  Spicy crunch chili noodles with smoked pulled pork and cukes.  Pork & cabbage potstickers.

I usually add an hour if I'm doing a frozen steak. Never done an axis so not sure how thick or tender the meat is. The meat ends up the same temperature as the water bath, so it's not really something you can overcook. Extra time just makes it more tender.

Thanks man, doing it a lot helps.  These 2 noodles dishes were super easy.  Go to momofuku website and they have the recipes.

King Ranch casserole (huge in Texas) may be the worst casserole that most people love.  Top 5 worst casseroles period.  There, I said it.

Add green bean to the good list. Personally, I would bump tater tot up too.

thoughts on casseroles?

I endorse many casseroles. I am actually eating a dish called "John Wayne Casserole" as I type these words.

[Cire]

my wife's family makes what they call "Turkey Divan"

It's Turkey breast (costco precooked) sliced/cubed over broccoli spears (frozen/thawed) or pre cooked fresh.  Over that is a sauce of cream of chicken soup and curry chowder (the yellow kind) and then the sauce is poured over and breakcrumbs are sprinkled over the top and then baked.

i'm sure there's more that goes into it but that's basically it and it's shockingly good!

Gotta get the broccoli nice and dried out though whether thawing from frozen or pre steaming/boiling it.  The breadcrumbs are important for texture. It would probably be ok with the crunch onions from green bean casserole too.

I also found that when you google Turkey Divan/chicken divan the recipe is not really like what my wife's family makes so they might be misusing the term "Divan" which I really think it just a reference to the weird sauce.
