Shank Melts-
Directions:

1. Purchase Berkshire swine.
2. Raise them up to breeding age.(7-8 mo)
   
3. Breed a male with an unrelated female.
4. Mark your calendar for 3 months/3 weeks/3 days.
5. Birth the offspring.
6. Select the cream of the crop within the litter. Sell the rest to purchase feed to raise your selected swine.
   
7. Feed high quality grains and greens for approximately 6 to 7 months or 250- 300#, whichever one comes first.
8. Process your specimen.
9. Store in freezer camp until ready for consumption in periodic intervals (as desired)
10. Thaw a Shank.
11. Set up your Grill for indirect cooking. (Fire only on one side).
    
12. While the fire is at it's hottest temperature upon first being started, rub blackening season on the meat & sear the living crap out of every side. Cauterizing the Shank will lock in all the juices.
13. Slide the rack over to the cold side of the grill, add smoking wood and close the lid.
14. Monitor the cooker to insure to maintain a consistent 225-235*F.
15. Remove the Shank when it reaches 150*F internally, by meat thermometer.
16. Cover with foil and let it rest for 30 mins. If you cut it open while it is fresh off the grill, all the juices will pour out and dry out your Shank.
17. Make your side dishes, eat your meal.
18. Wrap up the left overs. Store in Fridge.
    
19. A couple days later (TODAY), take a razor sharp knife and gentle and slowly cut paper thin slices off of the Shank Balance.
20. Place the shaved meat on bottom buns and heat in a toaster oven.
21. Then add Swiss cheese and melt it with the t-oven.
22. Add Romaine Lettuce/Beefsteak Tomato/1000 Island dressing. Pickles on the side.
23. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.

You gotta jalapeno flavor the cottage cheese! Lightly saute' the red onions. Then about a table spoon of light brown sugar. Low heat until it melts. Wipe out the pan while it is hot. Once it cools.. it will be like concrete.

Yes'm thank you. I have my personal shopper picking up Texas toast too.
