I finally got some grill time in last night, with some neighbors over for a little get together. Wife picked up a PSMO from the Amish market, and never having trimmed or served one, I went straight to Mike's instructions and Cook's Illustrated recipe. Dogs and burgers for the kids, and the moms did all the salads and sides. Just under $100 for the cut, which fed 8 hungry adults, and I still have leftovers.
You'll have to pardon the shots - I'm out of practice with the camera...
Pre-trimming.
Trimmed up and tied up. I wound up cutting off the butt, so instead of folding over the tip I just tied the butt and tip together for a relatively even thickness.
Seared for 2 minutes a side, then finished for 20 minutes off the coals. Incredibly easy...
... and tasty. Some thinner areas came out a bit more on the medium side than I wanted, but nothing was cooked beyond that.
It was good to get back to the grills, though they really need a thorough cleaning this weekend - my S620 is in front of the dryer exhaust vent, which was cleaned last week, blowing lint all over the grill, which got inside it even though it was covered. And while wife is finally learning to use it, she's been a little heavy on marinades, which have somehow dripped into the burner tubes and caused a lot of orange flames. Cleaning all that up will be tomorrow afternoon's task.
Not much else planned for the holiday weekend, besides taking some kids to a water park tomorrow and finally replacing our dishwasher. But I don't feel like I really grilled/BBQ'd enough this summer, so I may have to make up for it on Monday.

Just the word PSMO makes my mouth water! It looks great!
Does man really need anything more than medium rare meat?
