I would say no, it's a roast IMHO. A steak is usually considered a single serving portion. Just my .02

Tri tip is single serving to me! I've heard tri tip steak and tri tip roast. Didn't know what the mods would consider it as.

Too funny, I have never had one last for more than one serving either, but I was forced to share! :wink:

Tri-tip is not a steak.:thumb: Neither is a ribeye roast.

But they can be cut into steaks. Correct?

If you guys can't figure out what a steak is, I suggest not entering!:laugh:

Folks, more or less any common cut of beef would qualify as a "steak", IF it were cut into "steaks" before the cooking process. That would mean Tri-Tip, Rib Roasts, chuck, etc. :thumb:

Steak-check
Beef-check
Lump-Check
Chimney-Check...the badest of all chimneys made!
Grate-Used the Weber Go Anywhere grate, worked perfectly.


Wow, I couldn't believe how hot this got and so quickly. I barely had the steak on the grate and as you can see, pretty much well done:doh:

The flavor of the char was fantastic. I will do this again soon, if I can afford another steak. This was an appetizer to enter the TD, I made some pork-steaks for the real dinner at a fraction of the cost per pound.

Thanks for looking, While not perfect, not a complete failure. I appreciate the learning opportunity!!!

Please accept this as my official Clusterfarked Chimney Fiorentina Steak.

I looked for a steak in my freezer and I found only this 5.2 lbs Fiorentina.

May I cook rightly on a chimney starter ?? I thought yes, and went on to prepare the meat! First of all I slowly thawed the Fiorentina for 2 days than I put some coarse salt and cornstarch for 3 h to make a rapid dry brine.

[/url]

Then I set up the chimney for a L&S smoking session. I closed all the holes with some foil to avoid high cooking T, like this

[/url]

I only use Weber charcoal

[/url]

After 3 h dry brining the Fiorentina was like this

[/url]

I brushed off all the stuff

[/url]

Then I start smoking low and slow using only 2 chuncks of charcoal at the same time + 1 chunck of hickory only for 40'.

[/url]

The flames in the back are the Weber starter cubes I left over the grate to consume.

[/url]

Then I covered the Fiorentina looking for a smoking enviroment/chamber

[/url]

[/url]

I flipped the Fiorentina when I was 68 IT.

[/url]

I was looking for 124 IT. Through the miracle of time (1h 40' later) thus was

I let it rest in foil for 15' and thus was
