2 Night Dry-Brined Prime Tomahawk, Smoked Then Cast Iron Seared

Picked up a couple of 2” thick Prime Tomahawk Steaks from Costco and wanted to keep the cook simple so the amazing beef could do its thing.

I dry-brined them for 2 nights with Kendu Spice Co. Moon Rock seasoning with a little extra Kosher salt, then smoked them at 225°F until they reached an internal temperature of 110°F. I used the Chef's Temp remote probe, which helped a lot. After that, I finished it with a hard reverse sear in a cast-iron to build the crust and render the fat.

The flavors, color, and bark/crust were insane.

Basic process:

  • Dry rub brine 2 nights with Moon Rock and a little extra Kosher salt
  • Smoked at 225°F
  • Pulled at 110°F internal
  • Cast iron sear to finish
  • Rested before slicing

The flavors and crust on this thing were unreal. Definitely one of the better Tomahawks I’ve cooked, and highly recommend it.

Thoughts:

  • I’d pull closer to 115°F next time
  • I’d give less to the cat (but he is so cute)
  • I’d get more than 2 Tomahawks
  • I’d invite everyone from Reddit to enjoy a slice

Once again, the boy, daughter, wife, cat, and I smashed them. No leftovers!

I made a chuck steak and I don't know why it looks like this

I cooked it on each side on med-highfor 6 minutes on both sides. It is not even a full inch thick, and it's still pink/red on the inside, not to mention it's only textured like in the photo

Noble Smoke in Charlotte. Great brisket option if in town.

Totally enjoyed this visit. The brisket was amazing and the sauce was spicy. Mac and cheese side was really good. Overall I give a thumbs up if you are in the area

Best Tri Tip roast

What’s your go to recipe/approach for cooking a tri tip roast? Smoker? Cut it up into steaks and pan sear them? Something else? Picked this up for a decent price (I think) but now not sure what to do with it.

Braising lamb shoulder chops

What ingredients would you use and can you do it on the stove top? I do not own a Dutch oven but I do have a big pot. Also, I want to use up some leftover red wine from yesterday. What other ingredients & techniques should I know? Thank you.

Pan-seared Beef heart

Easily my favorite cut of beef. Unfortunately it's hard to cook evenly. Anyone else want some?

Red Braised Beef, it's so good

Tender beef simmered with soy sauce, doubanjiang, star anise, tomatoes, and aromatics until rich and cozy. Perfect with rice or noodles and even better the next day!

[Homemade] beef stew help

Need honest opinions from people who actually understand food safety/microbiology because I’m driving myself insane over this.
I made beef stew with beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, low sodium beef broth, fresh herbs, and a cornstarch slurry. It finished cooking around 9:30 PM. It was still extremely hot at that point and I knew putting a giant hot Dutch oven directly into the fridge wasn’t ideal, so I transferred it into multiple containers to cool faster. The containers were left uncovered in the kitchen overnight because I accidentally fell asleep before refrigerating them. They went into the fridge around 6:45 AM.
Additional context:
House temperature overnight was \~63°F
Kitchen is one of the cooler parts of the house
It was NOT sitting in a giant covered stockpot all night
It had been divided into smaller containers specifically to cool
It would be fully reheated/boiled before eating
Two healthy adults in our early 30s would be eating it
I already know USDA guidance says throw it away after >2 hours and I’m not arguing with the guideline. I’m asking more realistically: how dangerous is this ACTUALLY?
From what I understand, the main risks would be things like Clostridium perfringens from slow cooling of meat dishes, Bacillus cereus because of the starches, or possibly staph toxin. But does the fact that:
it was initially too hot to refrigerate,
it was divided into containers,
the house was cold,
and it would be boiled again
meaningfully change the risk profile?
I’m not asking for permission to eat it. I’m asking if this is “almost certainly fine but technically against guidance” versus “this is a very realistic food poisoning setup.”
Please no “if in doubt throw it out” copy/paste comments — I already know the official recommendation and am trying to understand the actual microbiology/risk here

Dino ribs from Walmart

Never really bought any meat from Walmart, because it's Walmart. Who knows where it comes from, right? I was putting in my order for sundries and these ribs pop up at only $6.84 / lb. So I clicked on them, because that's pretty cheap. Turns out, they're prime grade, Texas raised Black Angus Dino ribs, from McClaren Farms, the guy who founded 44 Farms. So, I added them to my order.

I have to say, they came out absolutely amazing! Very tender, extremely juicy with great flavor!

Served with smoked chicken, smoked mac-n-cheese and potato salad made with smoked potatoes.
