Subscribed to your channel. I'm very in to cooking and smoking on the Weber. Amazed with this Competition Steak cooking. Steak looks great.
Absolute quality that is mate! I did a smoked reverse sear rib eye few weeks back for the first time, and it honestly is the best way to cook it. Keep the videos coming! 👊👊
Great Lesson ✅ Thank You So Much. Cheers 🍻
I agree cast iron brown butter garlic and thyme,no such thing as too much basting.Never thought about tying it up,have to try that.I-still prefer pre sear as to reverse sear,have had better luck with moisture.Good looking steak though I prefer mine medium.🔥👍🍻

Can do mate, usually 45 mins in the smoke and 15 min or so rest, sear is around a 5 min job.
Didn’t realise that shooter was yournrub tired that at the bbq shop in Joondalup a couple of months ago was pretty good

does competition steak have to have grill marks? pan searing or flat top searing is also great with a weight
Hey mate I bought Steak Shooter and applied it quite liberally to my ribs. Is it just me or is it quite salty ? I'll definitely be using half next time. Also.. do you not let your wood burn clean first ? I find my ribs are quite rancid if I put them in on with the wood like in this video 🤔 EDIT: Oh damn, are you the creator of the Steak Shooter range ? My local butcher has heaps of your products.. well done.
What butcher do you go to mate? I'm in Perth too. The quality of meat in your videos is amazing. Do you do classes or anything? Man id love to go to one your bbqs. These cooks are amazing.

Had to give your rub a try. Mate!! One of the best I've had on any meat!! Have to buy more!
You said cherry or black _____ (something) wattle? Walnut? I wasnt sure if it was your accent or a wood I just never heard of 🤔
How are you getting that high of a temp with so few charcoals? I use a full chimney on a Weber 22 and the highest I can is 550 deg f.

Awesome stuff!! Loving the videos!! What’s the reasoning behind perfect medium being the standard for comp steak? Considering medium rare is so popular
@LownSlowBasics
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks mate, it's just been the rules for ages. I'm not actually sure of the reasoning behind it. I guess as they built the doneness chart with medium being a mid type level. Easy to score either side
Awesome video man! What temp are you smoking at? Looked like 275. I usually run 225 but assuming the carry over temp increase might be a bit more at 275.
Will your rub be available anywhere in Adelaide?

Does internal temp keep going up after you take off grill, is there much resting time when done.
@LownSlowBasics

A few degrees yes. I aim for around 15 min rest
Interesting you cook steak to medium for a comp, I thought it would be med rear. Does medium appeal to a wider audience?

I’m never going to enter a steak cooking contest and kudos to people like you that do. I just kinda feel that the amount you’ve touched, pierced and prodded that steak it would actually take away the steak taste.
How long did you rest the steak for? Man, I want steak now! 🤤👌

How long it took to reach the ~127 degrees internal temp? I'm new in the bbq as a hobby and usually let it heat too fast or too slow, haha.

How would you structure it?
Looks way overdone to me.
how much flavour is the cherry adding? compared to cooking on either a standard gas bbq, or a pellet smoker (without adding wood)?

Just a nice subtle flavour, enough to know it's there :)
