Caveman porterhouse
« on: August 30, 2017, 04:32:44 PM »
This was my first official attempt at a caveman steak. I used royal oak lump charcoal on the jumbo Joe, season the steak with kosher salt and fresh cracked black, Then on to the coals. The steak went a total of seven minutes and probed around 125ish when I pulled it off to rest.
It was intimidating, but I was pleasantly surprised how it turned out. There was no charcoal in my teeth, and it tasted like a normal steak.
Have a good one Fella's!

Looks like it turned out great. I need to try that. I can see how it can be intimidating.

Those look a heck of a lot better than a popular YouTube channel guy's caveman steaks I watched recently. Looks like they are cooked perfectly. Was that a jumbo joe?

This is so cool! I've always wanted to try this. Steak looks perfect!

Just did four massive ribeyes like that last weekend. Hard to get a good action shot with all the smoke they put out, and hard to beat the taste!

Good cooks, right there. Hafta give ya'll credit... I'd be skeered to do that - porterhouses being rather spendy.

Thanks guys. I agree about seeing some of the YouTube ones lately. They looked way to dark for my liking. That was done on a JJ @hoosierkettle.
@56mpg your past post/comments about doing these really made me want to try it more. I really am impressed.

That is perfectly cooked. Way to go, Travis.

What is in your compound butter? My butcher gave me some last weekend with blue cheese and parley, which was nice.

@jon
The herb butter was Rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, s&p, and Chicago steak seasoning.

Wow!  Thant's some good looking eats!  I keep saying I'm going to try that method but have been intimidated.
