Sunday Night July 4th Close Out Cook...

hapster · July 2014

My wife is off all week, and I am at least taking tomorrow...

Family has all left and things are kinda' back to normal. Decided I didn't want left overs and checked out a new butcher shop that opened about 20min away called the Meat House. They will hand cut any steak you want and have choice, prime, Waygu, and dry-aged meats.

Picked up a prime rib eye for me and two filets for the ladies. Going to do them caveman style down on the coals, and pair them up with a nice salad.

Pics to follow...

It's about on par or a little less than otter stores in our area especially for prime.

@hapster Hap, how thick is the ribeye?

How long will you be cooking it?

I'm about to do a 1.5" ribeye caveman and could use some advice

It's about 1-3/4... Probably going to start at 3min a side and then start checking temps with my Thermapen

Had a magna and Woodford in your honor today. Is it wrong to say your meat looks good.

ads75 · July 2014

I don't know if I should be happy or sad that the Meat House is 45 minutes from me. Good luck with the cook!

Thanks... And no. I'll take any positive press on my meat. How'd you like the Magna?

SkinnyV · July 2014

Lol and I cringe @ 6.99 lb.....you go Hap....go!

With you in spirit!

hapster · July 2014

Off and resting... Too much smoke to get a shot of them on the coals

SGH · July 2014

@hapster‌
As always both the food and pics are spot on my friend. One question. One real thick meats do you prefer a indirect roasting along with the coal sear or just a coal sear only if I may ask? Again every thing looks absolutely fantastic my friend.

henapple · July 2014

Nice. Enjoyed the smoke and the Woodford.

@hapster‌ ya know at 1st I was like holy $hitball$ that's expensive! And then I looked at the cuts again. And I'd do it for me & the Mrs for sure. Would I do that for a large group (hell to the no). Lol.
Fantastic job Hapster! :-)

I do them entirely on the coals... One thing I did learn this time, more lump. Not that I ran out, the leftovers from my cookout and butts a couple of days ago were plenty to do the steaks, but they were too low in the fire box and restricted the surface areas of burning lump. Next time I'll be sure and top it off first to give me a larger coal bed.

Thanks again for the nice compliments.

You are more than welcome my friend. And thanks for your reply.

Very nice, I am not a huge steak guy but you have inspired me to try caveman style. And the longer I live the more truth I find in the "you get what you pay for" mentality

hapster · July 2014

Here it is plated... Locally sourced prime grade. Have to say it was one of the best tasting steaks I've had in quite a while. Def a great first impression of the place.

Managed to get it right and the cook went perfect. My girls loved the filets. I have Elise some of the ribeye collar; I think she now thinks the filet isn't as good as she once thought

I've never regretted buying beef at higher prices, even when wincing LOL... I have on more occasions that I would like to admit have regretted buying steaks that were on sale or listed at a great price

cazzy · July 2014

Steak looks freaking fantastic man. This crappy photos tho. :P

GeorgeS · July 2014

Dayummmm hapster! That's fantastic! I am envious sir! That is one beautiful looking hunk of cow.

Nanook · July 2014

NAILED IT!!

hapster · July 2014

Thanks guys... Flavor was outstanding. Next time I'm going to go with their hand cut dry aged NY strips.

Enjoying some Double Oak and stick listening to the Tigers game... Day off tomorrow so the school night rules are off this Sunday

I just took the family to dinner and it was $118 with tip for some crappy fish tacos, some Calamari, a couple of fish and chips and some chicken tenders for my granddaughter. You can buy a lot of expensive meat for that much and still have enough left over for sides. This time we splurged for the conveniences of someone else doing the cooking and cleaning. Other times we may splurge with better cuts of meat.

Man that looks fantastic my friend!

Yours are pretty good already... Just keep shooting, practice might never make perfect, but it will fill up your drives with lots of crappy shots.

Ask me how I know...
