SV this almost 3 pounder at 125 for 3 hours.  Seared off on the egg where some ribeyes were cooked caveman style ( these kids can friggin eat!). This was a feast with no leftovers.  Hope it helps them remember their last spring break.  Thanks for looking.











After resting 15 minutes:



There was was no time for a plated shot after carving all the beef.  It was go time.

    That looks really good. SV definitely has a place in one's cooking arsenal. I never thought I'd say that, but it rocks for some applications.

    Dang Doc- nailed it again.  Definitely on a roll.  I vaguely recall the feeding frenzy when the college gang rolled in.  Definitely keeps the fires hot.  
    BTW- at their ages their is no such thing as "last spring break..."  YMMV-

    Love having them choose to be here.  Really good kids that give us a lot of smiles.  Thanks Cap.

    I have been thinking about doing this. I saw SRF had a deal going. I must say that looks very fine. Did you put a rub on it as you cooked it on the SV? I could have eaten that by myself.
    Beautiful looking meal Brent. Glad the children were all home.

    Ron, thanks.  I salted, peppered the roast and let it hang out in the fridge most of the day.  In the bag was a sprig of fresh rosemary, several sprigs of fresh thyme and a couple cloves of crushed garlic.  Added subtle but nice flavors.

    @theyolksonyou -  for those of us who run in the lower aka substrate cooler environment- that is one of the finest there is out there.  Igloo makes all kinds of coolers, any of which have been used for extended FTC assignment with glowing results.  But no desire to use this thread as a launch for another cooler war.  ;)  
    Good on @bgebrent for representing the other side of the cooler spectrum.

    Your subtlety was most eloquent.  Next time I'll use my RTIC, or my YETI.  Hmm?

    @bgebrent - I'm guessing the hi-enders are not worthy.  Regardless, as above, one eggcellent result.  Just keep the low ender usefulness a secret otherwise there will some serious butt-hurt. =)

    Must be something in the air.  We had tri-tip tonight (SV at 117 for 2 hrs, then sear at 650, on the deck) ....  I won't show my fam your pics though.  Makes mine look like Golden Corral.

    How did we get to this place in history without Yeti's and the challenge of RTIC's?  Maybe ice was better at cooling in prior years.  There was an Ice Age a few years ago...

    Nice! I Love that ours hang with us for spring break and other vacations too. I like to think it's my rugged good looks and rapier wit but it's probably my penchant for fancy foods and boutique liquors.

    Same page my friend.  Except no rugged good looks.  Food fest and liquor cabinet.  Wit usually crushes them to bed. ;)
