[BBQ PD]

I'll be right over :becky:.

[gtr]

Where'd you get it? :hungry:

[TIMMAY]

Awesome! I'm glad you are sharing.

[Moose]

Where'd you get it? :hungry:

Believe it or not, the Ralph's Fresh Faire up the street on Ventura just a few blocks West of White Oak. They have some of the best beef I've ever seen from a chain, and just started regularly carrying USDA Prime. They also had amazing prime NY strips behind the meat case on sale for $12.99 a lb. :thumb:

Let me know if you're planning a visit!

[Al Czervik]

Is it done yet? :biggrin1:

[BigBlock]

I buy half whole ribeys for $4.99 per pound and have them cut them for me. i have them cut several big steaks for the fire and several 1/4 inch ones for sammies and breakfest

[Moose]

Is it done yet? :biggrin1:

I knew you'd be along for this one at any moment. :doh:

Haven't even seasoned it yet...more to follow! :becky:

Well that Ralph's kicks arse on the other Ralph's I've been to as far as the meat goes. I'll be staying down this way, but I have a beautiful flank steak to keep me company. :hungry:

[CarolinaQue]

I am actually surprised that Ralph's has pretty good meat.

Von's is the worst.

Albertson's is hit or miss sometimes good other times terrible.

:tsk:

[Grain Belt]

Ish! Looks terrible. Please pack it in dry ice and express mail to northern Minnesota so I can properly dispose of it.

[LMAJ]

Again...

OH



MY....


excuse me - need to go freshen up now....

[Hunterman95]

You're killin' me!

I agree - Von's beef absolutely sucks - I wouldn't eat their "Rancher's Reserve" even if someone paid me. It's absolute sub select at best.

This particular Ralph's carries really fine beef - their ribeyes, NY strips, and especially Tri-Tips are awesome. Everything is either Choice or Prime and often at a good price. Their Tri-Tips are a lot better than Costco. Yet just a few miles away in a less affluent neighborhood, the closest Ralph's doesn't carry good beef at all. It has to do with demand/local demographics and what sells in a particular location.

[pike51]

Nice hunk of meat ya got there!!

My butcher hooks me up with some serious black angus ribeyes... I'll get medieval on a steak now!!

[Moose]

OK, I'm making progress - it's officially been rubbed with Foil Hat and Seasoned Pepper!

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/Pashn8one/Ribeye%205%2017%202012/DSC_1235.jpg

I think I just might actually get around to cooking this thing in the very near future!

:becky:

[gtr]

Make that farker sweat!

[dealm9]

Cook it and bring it to my house.

[Moose]

Make that farker sweat!

You know I will!:thumb:

[Carbon]

They had several double packs of cowboy ribeyes at Ralphs in Silverlake where I regularly shop.
I agree about Ralphs having way better meat selection than Vons when it comes to beef.

[silverfinger]

The Ralph's here in torrance sucks big time. That rib-eye is dam nice.
So, I will see you in about an hour. :mrgreen:

This is what I got on the grill right now neighbor.

[silverfinger]

Just pulled it. Cooked reverse moose style. Resting now. As much as I want to bite into that tri tip I know that rib-eye is going to be killer. Just a beautiful piece of meat!!!

http://img.tapatalk.com/c6e4d296-ef51-72ab.jpg

No more hijacking. Waiting for rib-eye pron!!!

Looks like your gonna give that caveman style a test run. Lol

[Boshizzle]

Awesome score!

[Moose]

Looks like your gonna give that caveman style a test run. Lol

Actually not - it would be disastrous on briquets - way too much ash. Gotta use straight lump for caveman style. No, I have something entirely different in mind here.

Stay tuned!

:becky:

[Carbon]

We're lucky we're on the left coast.....it's dinner time for us now....:)

Go Lakers!

[bresdogsr]

Yeah buddy...going the reverse sear route...Nice!!!:thumb:

[silverfinger]

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/Pashn8one/Ribeye%205%2017%202012/DSC_1243.jpg

I love the way your camera catches the flames like that. I need a good camera. Been using my phone for way too long.

[Moose]

Yeah buddy...going the reverse sear route...Nice!!!:thumb:

Is there any other alternative? :becky:

Didn't think so.

[martyleach]

What a beautiful chunk of meat. I've got a Costco rib-eye going on in 5 minutes. Their stuff is pretty reliably good (the beef anyhow)

[bigabyte]

Very nice!

[Moose]

Getting closer! I may actually finish this cook before the end of the weekend!

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/Pashn8one/Ribeye%205%2017%202012/DSC_1248.jpg

[Moose]

Time for the final sear:

[silverfinger]

So,
Are you sharing that beauty with friends or family or did you decide to horde it all for yourself and post it in the don't touch that piece of meat or all stab you with a fork throwdown because that type of meat can't be shared. Lol

[Moose]

Fork shot right before it went straight into my hungry mouth:

http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae286/Pashn8one/Ribeye%205%2017%202012/DSC_1266.jpg

As good as it looked, it tasted even better! :thumb:

I was gonna say "what do you mean?" but that little edit window thingee showed up and ruined my plan. :rolleyes:

Welocme? :confused:

[Al Czervik]

Is it done yet... :heh:

Oh that's right... It turned out excellent!

[CarolinaQue]

Very nice!!!

Holy buckets that's a beauty!

[Moose]

Welocme? :confused:

There are two text navigation bars at the top of this site. On the upper one, what do you see between Smoke Signals Magazine and Merchandise?

Like the beloved cryptic symbol at the far upper left hand corner of the site, it is an ongoing mystery that may never be revealed.

:biggrin1:

[criffaaa1]

that looks sooo good it makes me wanna punch you, forget a slap.

:biggrin1:

Has that been that way for the whole time?

And the cryptic symbol has changed again. :shocked:

[Moose]

I think the Welocme tab has been that way since the beginning. The cryptic symbol changed a few weeks ago, then when someone noticed it, it abruptly changed again...many strange things seem to happen in this place! :icon_smile_tongue:
