As warned-A standalone cook thread-but nothing exciting-Caveman promo!

lousubcap

@DoubleEgger served up a comment that prompted the thought that too many cooks get lost (especially to new members) in the WAYCTDR thread.  Thus prompting several standalone cook threads. However, that impetus has slowed way down.
What follows is a pedestrian cook to again surface the awesome powers of a caveman steak cook: (Consider the source).
The fire-

The flat iron (2 lb SRF Black) on the fire-

The finish (with some fill-in sides: mini roasted yukon golds and roasted garlic.)

Thanks for lookin'.
(No vampires tonight!)

Looks great. At 2lbs, you must have been hungry! 

Couldn’t help but notice the “plated” pic had all ingredients on the cutting board. Nice way to consume it if that was in fact your approach.

COOL!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Looks amazing as always!

I really like that!!

Time for Captain’s Mast for those not posting properly. FYI, yours looks amazing.

Regarding consuming off the board, that is my preferred approach given the board is in play and just "throw on the sides" when no objections.  
No food porn with that but clean up is simple.  FWIW-

@lousubcap brisket next? An expansive educational post with pictures from you would be amazing.

Way to lead by example cap, and great cook to boot.

Damn that looks good, I like how you do garlic.

I sure hope none of these photos have been digitally altered or we could have a royal-size scandal on the forum.

I think I've only tried caveman once or twice, I need to revisit that because it looks great.

Excellent! I have yet to try it, guess I am a chicken.

It was one of @lousubcap’s prior posts that prompted me to take the plunge and I’m glad I was introduced to this method. Fun and effective. 

Just dive right in.

Looks awesome!

I'll need to try this

Upon further review, straight caveman works best on steaks less than around 3/4" (perfect for the glorious 1/2" steak cook).
Thicker than that, the reverse sear (close to your desired finish temp) with the caveman to set the crust is the way to go at least for me.
Have at it.  Quite a jaw-dropper for any guests the first time you finish a steak that way.  FWIW-

It’s true that there is some good visual entertainment to be had for guests this way. Same with a torch sear following sous vide cook. A lot of people have never seen these techniques in action, so they add some flair to the evening for the uninitiated.

or pulling a whole shoulder, or slicing a whole brisket, or slicing a turducken, ...

For me it's caveman sear for the trex on a leg of lamb, then slow roast to finish on a raised rack. You will never get a reversed sear leg out of there with the grease fire. Nothing beats that sear on a leg of lamb

Looks great as always Frank. 

StillH2OEgger

That looks fantastic -- and appreciate the standalone post, too!

Eggdicted_Dawgfan

Very nice Frank. I have missed out the past few days on some great stand alone threads. Anyone willing to toss 2lbs of SRF beef directly on the coals gets my vote! I’m definitely trying this (if I ever get time to egg again), but not likely with SRF. That lava shot is awesome!
