BBQ Brethren "Man Sized Meat" Throwdown!

Nice looking steak. Great first entry. :thumb:

I sooo wanted to make your photo more competitive. I did what I could, but motion blur is hard to fix. But, I knew I could help the color, since I was certain that your cut meat was washed out in the photo. Here's the best I could do. I'm pretty sure the cut meat on the fork looked more like this. I'm certain it was deeper in color and redder than the photo showed.

Thanks, that's almost perfect. If I has time I could have fixed it with the lightening on photoshop, but oh well

Always happy to help a rookie. Since we can't taste the throwdown entries, photos probably matter more than they should. I just new that your steak looked better than the camera made it look. That's a perfect medium rare.

If you like the shopped version of your steak, click "Quote" and copy and past the image into your post as the "money shot." That way bigabyte will know what to show in the voting thread. The rules allow that, although I'm not sure that I ever helped anyone actually win a throwdown. I don't think I helped anyone lose. I think I would have heard about that. :becky:

This is going to be a very competitive throwdown. I just don't see any one dominant player, so far. I'm seeing a lot of really competitive entries.

Gore hasn't entered his DQ, yet.

I put my Death Dust to good use but can't get any pics to load. Hmmmm

Dam Cack, that is great looking steak. I can almost smell the aroma from here.

Oldyote · Oct 22, 2011

Trying a picture work around. I'll have to say I love my new Oakridge BBQ rub. For the family I stayed with the Competition Seasoning but for may rack I started out with a healthy blend of Death Dust and the Competition Seasoning. I really liked the heat from the habanero but it actually mellowed more than I thought it would. Next time I plan to use the same blend but more Death Dust. I finished with a blend of Blues Hog Original and Tennessee Red. Thanks for looking (if it works).

Dexter is great and that steak looks incredible.

Well, here is my very first TD entry. To me, Man Sized Meat means a cut of beef that makes your stomach hurt just to look at it…but you just have to eat it ‘cause it looks soooo damn good! So, here are my pics:

First up is the cut I selected. The butcher was kind enough to indulge me by cutting a fresh Porterhouse to my liking. It’s 2” thick and weighed in at a whopping 2lbs 8-1/4oz.:

After seasoning it in sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, fresh rosemary from my own bush, fresh thyme from the herb garden, and some pressed fresh garlic, it went on the grill:

Flame searing baby!

I’ll call this one the money shot, but there are so many more good ones, it was hard to decide:

And a few for the carnivores out there:

Thanks for looking!

Now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go into a meat induced coma…

So after missing out on the last two throwdowns: Bigabyte (because I had no idea what to do) and tenderloin (because I was either working or out of town all dang week :mad2:!) I return for the Man-sized Meat throwdown! This made for a nice Friday night meal.

Starting off with the label, 25oz T-Bone!

Now I should go to the charcoal pile for fuel.

Wait, wait, wait......

This is the man sized meat throwdown, so let's cook it in a more manly fashion...over hard wood. Oak and hickory to be exact.

An oak log and a hickory log to split.

Let's start the fire in the weber kettle.

Now let's go back inside to take a look at the meat.

Nice and thick!

Let's season the steak (I forgot to show the oil)

All seasoned up.

The fire looks ready.

On the grill.

Let's smother this steak. YUM!

Onions and mushrooms.

They look ready.

How does that steak look?

Time to smother it!

Now for the pepperjack cheese.

Can you taste it? TD Money Shot!!

Done!

So does the Canadian steak seasoning make your steak taste like ham?

In the raw meat photo, it looks like the steak is hovering just above the grill grate. Does anyone else notice that?
