Friday morning 7 a.m. - down to the freezer to find something to cook for dinner .... TA DA Pork Steak!
Let it defrost all day and decided to do this a little different.
@addicted-to-smoke is off traveling so I was on my own.....
Spent a few hours going thru everything I could find and came up with a modified version of many.
I set up the 22.5 OTG for a snake burn at 300 and used cherry wood for smoke.
I rubbed it down with a modified version of Jeff Phillips's Rub:
• 2-1/2 TBS Coarse Black Pepper
• 1 tsp Chili Powder
• 1-1/2 TBS Garlic Powder
• 1-1/2 TBS Onion Powder
• 1 TBS Kosher Salt
Once the Weber hit 300 steady - on it went with some sweets
After 1.5 hours I Pulled it off for stage 2. (I love the way the foil turns gold!!
)
Stage 2 has it wrapped it in foil with some butter and brown sugar!
I put a layer of the sugar on the foil then the steak and then more sugar and butter.
That stayed on for 1 hour - I had to keep telling my self "
Trust in the Force, Chuck"
Stage 3 is the final - open the foil and let it go for another 30 mins ..... At this time I did my 1st temp check and it was 183... I thought maybe I should just pull it now ..... "
Trust in the Force, Chuck" Back on it went!!
Man my timer hit 30 mins and I pulled it off to rest for 15 mins ..... couldn't wait any longer
I cut it......
.......and ate it
My wife had some major dental work done a few days ago and she still hurt.... I was surprised at how much she ate.... "I ate thru the pain ... it was just too good!", she said.
That is all I need to hear!!
