Caveman T-Bone

Out of all the TV personalities one that I can most relate with is Steven Raichlen.
One of my favorite dishes he does is the Caveman T-Bone. I've been wanting to try this, and the throwdown gave me the opportunity.

Here is the video:
http://youtu.be/iGpQg6DWvAY

and here is the recipe:
http://www.primalgrill.org/recipe_details.asp?RecipeID=85&EpisodeID=28

I started with this:
2" Thick T-bone (can you believe it weighed 3.4 lbs?)
Yellow & Red Bell Pepper
Garlic
Italian Parsley
EVOO
Gnarly Head - Pinot Noir (local from Lodi, Ca)
Best of the West Natural Lump Charcoal

Sprinkled kosher salt and cracked black peppercorns liberally on both sides.

Grill was set up with lump on top of the grate, and allowed to turn orange.

Once ready I tossed on the steak:

In the mean time I prepped the sweet pepper topping:

After 3-4 minutes per side, the steak was ready to rest, then I got the oil hot:

Added the pepper mix:

After a few minutes in the hot oil, it was ready to top the steak.

Slice into it (please use this shot for TD)

Even deeper into it:

It was tasty.

Yep. Directly on the coals. There was an episode of Good Eats too on this.

Yes it was directly on the coals, and the taste of the char on the natural lump was amazing.

Old Smoke · Nov 8, 2011

I'll take one of those, I'll be there about quitting time....:-D

caseydog · Nov 8, 2011

I need a ruling from the judges.

I am looking at doing a meat and a side, but they come from two different shows/videos. Is that okay, or am I flirting with a Dilly Bar?

CD

tburda · Nov 8, 2011

Hold that thought CD while I upload and I'll stand infront of the firing line for you. I already cooked so if it's a dilly bar...it is.

tburda · Nov 8, 2011

Well...after a while I finally made a decision. The main dish was the one really from the internet, but the side also came from the net (ANOTHER BRETHREN!) and it was the perfect side for my dish. (Also, I got a new camera, so pr0n might be a little heavy :-D)

Main dish
http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118973
Side dish

You can see in the first pic, I DID make fresh pasta, but I always have trouble with the angel hair coming out right. So I tossed it and had to go with the boxed stuff. I couldnt get it all apart to dry correctly, I should have just made fettuccine as the recipe called for since that always comes out good. So when voting, if you notice the fresh pasta, please disregard that.

Testing out the new cameras abilities! (it was farking raining on me!)

crostinis on the grill

Another up close with the new camera

And, the final, pic, TD pic please.

Special thanks to GrillinFool for the crostini recipe.
