I just tried the KC Strip from Creekstone Farms that is available for KCBS Steak contests.
I ordered a KCBS contest KC Strip from Creekstone Farms to see what the company had to offer. I ordered on 10/5/21 it was shipped 10/06/21 and arrived 10/08/21 very good on their part!
The shipping box was lined with 2 inch Styrofoam top/bottom and sides. There were 4 reusable gel packs, the top two were about 60% frozen and the bottom two were probably 80% frozen. The steaks themselves were 100% frozen and in perfectly sealed packages wrapped in a reusable foil bag.
The steak itself was a full 1 5/8” on one side and 1 ½” on the other, and weighed 1:.02 oz. (illegal by the rules).
I cooked it completely untouched no trim of any kind. Dry brined with Kosher salt, pepper and garlic powder just before it hit the grill.

Cooked indirect, flipping twice each side trying to not get sear marks (per rules suggestion).

Sliced for presentation, maybe 5 or 10 degrees too much.
