So I did my first comp and really enjoyed it. I Want to do more of them but when the test steak was cooked everyone was sharing and this gave me my first taste of what other teams are actually turning in. I thought all my test steaks I did at home and even my test comp steak was really good until I tasted others. My medium temp is right on but man the taste of these other steaks was much better then mine. The tenderness was much better to. It’s like the other teams I tasted where so juicy and just had this true deep “steak” taste. I used all rubs on mine like killer hog AP, and dirty south steak rub, butcher bbq TR tenderizer, a little accent. The only liquid I used was just a very little head country marinade. Then put all that dry rubs on top of that. It had a good taste but just like those other teams steaks. Nothing like what I was tasting from the others. Just not sure how they get such a deep steak flavor or what I can do different to get that.
