Hi, Steaks: the Official PCF Steak Thread (7 Viewers)

So, I'm a charcoal grill kind of guy and usually go the reverse sear, indirect heating with a little smoke. But in the winter time, it just isn't nearly as satisfying as relaxing by the grill, eating outdoors is a total bust. So, in an effort to keep my toes attached in winter, I discovered this technique from Bobby Flay, the recipie is good, but the pan sear and finish in the oven works great! I've done it with everything from pork chops to Salmon, Filet, and ribeye...try it, you'll like it!

Made picanha for the Super Bowl. Indirect heat (probably 235-250, didn’t have a probe on the grill) to 120 deg., then finished on a cold grate over fresh bed of hot coals. Pic 2 is when i pulled it off before searing, pic 3 is after the sear before slicing.

Yes, the fat is an integral part of this cut.

I didn’t fully score the fat cap, but I gave it a few puncture wounds prior to cooking.

Yes, did serve Chimichurri with it, but that didn’t do much for me in terms of enhancing the experience. Could take it or leave it next time.
 
Tomahawk ribeye.

Definitely the most fun/satisfying steak to prepare.

Looks incredible. Those stuffed mushrooms look great too.

Very nice indeed!

But IMO, you need to get rid of those plates, at least for photos. They just distract and detract from appreciation for the beautiful food.

Thanks. I know. I unfortunately don't have a day in the plate situation

How was the restaurant and, perhaps more importantly, the Washugyu chuleton — worth paying the premium for in comparison to their other cuts? It's at the top of my list for Vegas in November!

It was positively amazing. My biggest complaint is I am old and my stomach gives out before I can eat half of a two point steak.

We had a direct comparison of both the grass fed washugyu ribeye and the black Angus wagyu Ribeye; while the black Angus did have a more prominent "beef" flavor, the washugyu was unquestionably more tender and contained significantly more marbleization. Neither lacked flavor and overall both were fantastic. Enjoyed the washugyu more than the black Angus however, and yes worth the upcharge imo.

Awesome! That's my mind made up then.
