I'm hungry.

Cook here: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=214355

Some stirps with salt and pepper.

The ceiling has been raised I think....roof probably :eusa_clap

Just wanted to clarify my "steak" entry. (if anyone is wondering if it qualifies as a "steak").

I would not have posted a beef rib as a "steak" if this had not been posted by Peeps describing what a "steak" is.
And for the record, this thread made it look like I could enter a mushroom without a problem.
This is from post #11. Thread here.

From Wikipedia...

Quote:
A steak is a cut of meat sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, potentially including a bone. When the word "steak" is used without qualification, it generally refers to a beef steak. In a larger sense, there are also fish steaks, ground meat steaks, pork steak and many more varieties.

"Steaks" are also cut from grazing animals, usually farmed, other than cattle, including bison, camel, goat, horse, kangaroo,[2][3] sheep, ostrich, pigs, reindeer, turkey and deer, as well as various types of fish, especially salmon. Some cured meat, such as gammon, is commonly served as steak.

Grilled Portobello mushroom may be called mushroom steak, and similarly for other vegetarian dishes.[4] Imitation steak is a food product that is formed into a steak shape from various pieces of meat, while fruits such as watermelon can be grilled and described as "watermelon steak" because of their shape and color.




I made my decision to enter the throwdown from what is highlighted in red.
I cooked my beef ribs then cut them into "steaks"
As you can see by this photo, the meat is sliced perpendicular to the muscle fibers, and includes a bone. That makes it a "steak" (as described by Wikipedia and posted by Peeps)




If anyone is interested. That was about 2 pounds of meat on that bone! :becky:

I did not see that listed as one of the requirements in this throwdown, but thanks for your input.

I'm with Silverfinger on this one....fine job by him

Ray I think yours is awesome

Grilled Ribeye Steak Carne Asada Tacos

Please accept this as my entry into the Steak Throwdown.

I've never made Carne Asada, nor have I ever eaten Carne Asada, but I've wanted to try it for some time. Cruised the internet for a spell to get the idea, it's like there are a million different ways to make this stuff, right?

Anyway, came up with a plan. I wanted to enter the "Steak Throwdown", so I started with a nice ribeye from SRF.

Threw that in some marinade and let it go for about three hours;

Grilled that on the Smokey Joe with some Mesquite for smoke;

Sliced this up for the tacos;

Assembled the tacos with the steak, avocado/corn salsa, Queso Fresco, Mexican Crema, sriracha sauce and a squeeze of lime.

Please use the following photo as my entry shot;

This stuff was fantastic!

Thanks for looking all,

Keep on Qing,

Gutsy move, I like it, and it got me thinking. I do a lot of flank steaks and flatiron steaks. They aren't steaks at all! They are little tiny flat roasts.

Ray,

The TD mod team has conferred over the last few days and have decided that your entry does not fit the steak definition as the cut that was cooked was a slab of ribs on the bones which are sliced parallel to the muscle, then was cut across the muscle only for serving. This would be analogous to a slice from a rib roast, which is not a ribeye steak and as such does not fit the steak definition.

While it is a great cook, we just cannot accept it as an entry for this TD.
