It did say or a poor too. I just didn't think that applied on tpb.

Cats outta the bag boys…Chuck’s a poor…lol

That's also true if it's cut in single portions. I've tried smoking steaks multiple ways and it just doesn't cook right. Hot and fast is the only way to go.

I usually will sear it on my grill and smoke it to finish it. But I only do that with these tomahawks.

A regular ribeye I will just grill.

There is those people who use cast iron skillets on steaks and I guess I'm not that fancy

Went to Sam’s today and the wife relented…bought a prime rib roast. Boneless so it’s basically a rib roast right? Gonna make it after new year because the younger daughter is out of town next week for practice and travel with Husker WBB. Will let you know how it turns out. Going to oven roast because I’m a poor without a smoker…

This dude knows what he’s doing. It’s the prettiest looking prime rib I’ve ever seen.

Bout to get balls deep in a beef Wellington. Been dry brining the tenderloin for 2 days.

Did you dry it before seasoning? Just wondering if this method works?

Alton Brown is actually where I learned about the benefits of dry brining beef! Yeah I just let it sit in the butcher paper for a few days because I'm lazy but it does the trick. Never done tenderloin before but it works well on steaks. Bought this on Tuesday and brined it 36 hours ago.

Holy fuck. Smoking my prime rib now. Dry brined for 48 hours, duck fat, rosemary, thyme, sage, pepper, and garlic for the crust. Going to finish in broiler to crisp the outside.

Auger quit working on smoker. Got it fixed but I’m hoping it didn’t ruin my cook.

Cooked to 135. I would stop at 120 if you're cooking for yourself or other rare meat lovers. Overall I'd skip the whole Wellington thing and just roast the tenderloin plain, the extra layers don't add all that much outside of looking fancy. Still more tender than a crockpot roast and more delicious.
