Snow Weekend Cooks - Bone-in Ribeyes and Boston Butt

CP92

Snow on the way always means the BGE gets a workout. I always do a Boston Butt when we have a workday snowday, which is coming Monday!!! We usually have a late start the following day and I take the leftovers in for the gang. 

Then the Mrs said she wanted a steak this weekend. Well that was just an excuse to check out a recommendation on a local farmer who's supposedly putting out some good beef and pork. I think the recommendation was a good one. Snagged these two bone-in both right in the 20oz range. I'd say they come close to being prime, but not all of the white is fat, some of it's bone dust. I got most of it off, but I think they look pretty good. Plan to cook them for lunch tomorrow. I'll throw the cook up in this thread then the butt on Monday.

Fired the egg up and ran it up to about 600. Put the steaks on about 3 mins per side. Decided to finish them in the oven at 325. Not my best result. Didn't get the color on one of them to my liking. Should have just been patient. Then I overcooked mine. Wife's was spot on the cook and color, and was actually the better piece of meat of the two. But it was on the smaller size and I know she'd complain if I gave her the bigger piece.  Regardless, satisfying meal overall and I"ll definitely use the local farmer again. 

Boston Butt up tomorrow!!!

Nice looking steaks!  Look like they’re levitating.

This is about 3 1/2 hrs into the cook. Coming along nicely. I'm so proud of myself; I vowed to not chase temps today and with a couple of necessary exceptions I stayed strong. Shooting for 250. Adjusted at 235 and then again at 263. Currently holding at 252/253. 

Birdies are happy with the easy food we have provided. Not sure about the foxes, I fed them last night before the snow set in but only saw a couple of tracks early this morning and they weren't fresh.

No need to work out today.

Final product. At 10 hrs I got tired of trudging out in the snow to check temps so I brought it in, wrapped it and put it in the oven. At 11.5 hrs I was over it and pulled it out, let it rest an hour, then pulled it. Should have let it keep going but I was over the whole thing tbh; had some fat that didn't completely render and a few spots that needed at least another hour. Eats well enough regardless
