Book Description

October 16, 2012
Celebrity chef, restaurateur, and meat lover Michael Symon—of Food Network’s Iron Chef America and ABC’s The Chew—shares his wealth of knowledge and more than 100 killer recipes for steaks, chops, wings, and lesser-known cuts.
 
Fans across the country adore Michael Symon for his big, charismatic personality and his seriously delicious food. But there's one thing Michael is known for above all else: his unabashed love of meat. A devoted carnivore, Michael calls the cuisine at his six Midwestern restaurants "meat-centric." Now, in Michael Symon's Carnivore, he combines his passion and expertise in one stellar cookbook.
 
Michael gives home cooks just the right amount of key information on breeds, cuts, and techniques to help them at the meat counter and in the kitchen, and then lets loose with fantastic recipes for beef, pork, poultry, lamb, goat, and game. Favorites include Broiled Porterhouse with Garlic and Lemon, Ribs with Cleveland BBQ Sauce, Braised Chicken Thighs with Kale and Chiles, Lamb Moussaka, and Bacon-Wrapped Rabbit Legs. Recipes for sides that enhance the main event, like Apple and Celeriac Salad and Sicilian Cauliflower, round out the book.
  
Michael's enthusiasm and warmth permeate the text, and with 75 beautiful color photographs, Michael Symon's Carnivore is a rich and informative cookbook for every meat lover.

Featured Recipe from Michael Symon: Smoked Lamb Ribs on the Grill with Lemon, Oregano & Honey

Smoked Lamb Ribs
Rib Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 3 tablespoons garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons coriander seeds, toasted and ground
  • 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 racks lamb spareribs
  • Juice of 2 lemons
Glaze Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1⁄4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup minced red onion
  • 3 lemons
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Flaky sea salt, such as Cyprus, Flake or Maldon, for serving
  • 3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions

1. To prepare the ribs: Mix together the dried oregano, garlic salt, paprika, coriander, pepper, and kosher salt. Moisten the ribs with the lemon juice and then coat all sides with the rub, making sure to distribute it evenly.

2. Set up your grill or smoker for indirect heat, meaning the ribs will not be directly over the heat source. Using low heat and apple-wood chips, put the ribs on the cool part of the grill, cover, and smoke for 1 hour.

3. Meanwhile, whisk together the glaze ingredients.

4. Arrange 2 of the lamb racks on a large piece of foil, overlapping them like roof shingles. Pour one-third of the glaze on top of the ribs and seal tightly in the foil, being careful not to tear it. Wrap in a second sheet of foil. Repeat twice, using the remaining racks and glaze.

5. Return the ribs to the grill and cook meat-side-down for 30 minutes over low heat. Flip the foil bundles and continue cooking for 30 minutes. Remove the ribs from the grill and let rest in the foil for 30 minutes.

6. Meanwhile, increase the grill heat to medium-high. Cut the lemons in half and grill flesh-side-down until nicely marked and slightly soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

7 Remove the ribs from the foil, put on the hot grill meat-side-down, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes. Remove the ribs from the grill and garnish with the grilled lemons, sea salt, fresh oregano, and extra-virgin olive oil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Embrace Your Inner Carnivore! October 22, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Chef Michael Symon is serious about meat...and 100+ recipes on the topic proves it!

I am really enjoying the book and the layout of it. It is broken down by the different meats: Beef, Pork, Lamb & Goat, Poultry, Game, and a section on side dishes to accompany the various meat dishes. I was especially pleased to find the game section, as venison is one of my favorite meats. At the start of each section there is a guide for selecting the meat, and then a guide to proper cooking temperatures (safety first!). It's great that these are included, as they speak to cooks of all backgrounds, especially those that may not be as familiar cooking a particular type of meat.

The recipes are great (I have tried two so far, but read ALL of them), and I have recommended it to at least 3 friends already in the few short days I have had it.

Between this newly-released cookbook and the recipes that have already been shared on Symon's Suppers, we have already made a number of the selections and each one is top notch.

Michael Symon really knows how to present food in an approachable way offering solid tips on selecting and preparing quality meats. He has a genuine respect for quality ingredients and encourages getting to know your local meat purveryor and the folks at your local farmer's market.

The flavors in each recipe are well balanced and it's easy to see why he has earned the title of Iron Chef. I love how the cookbook is laid out by meat category and, like the previous reviewer, enjoyed reading through the entire cookbook and taking in the wonderful photos of prepared dishes. This will be our "go to" cookbook for weeknight meals as well as special occasions and relaxed weekend cooking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loving Carnivore! November 5, 2012
By SMW
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
So far we have tried about five different recipes from this book and each one has been great! They are not too complex to make, and the flavors are out of this world! We just tried the pork and beans recipe and oh my goodness was it delicious! Definitely not what you are thinking when you hear pork and beans. This book is full of great recipes that I can't wait to try!
