OO and first attempt at caveman

in EggHead Forum
It's finally here. I hope it's as good as everyone says it is. Plan to attempt a ribeye egging it caveman style. It's another cut from the farmers market. I paid $14.00lb. Not sure if it's a good deal, but everything I've got from them has been good. Here's the information on the steak.

Grassfed & Grass-Finished
No antibiotics
No hormones
No animal by-products
Dry-Aged 14 days
Bred, born, and slow grown on Montana range land for over 2 years!
USDA inspected and Made in Montana

I've read some post about 30 day or longer dry-aged steaks. These are only dry-aged for 14 days.

More pics to follow. Probably will be late because I have a hard posting and egging at the same time.

    Here's the pics. Outside of the steak didn't sear up as much as I would of liked. Still had a bit of crunch to it though. Taste was phenomenal.

    Was I supposed to take it straight from the refrigerator? I let it warm up to room temp.

    Halibut came out to great too.

    If your mouth isn't watering after looking at these pics, your mind isn't working right and your taste buds must be dead. It truly is food porn...

    Thanks @NPHuskerFL‌ and @OmahaOne‌. It was a little stressful because this was the first time using Ozark Oak. It acts a little different than RO. I think I'm gonna like it a lot better. Plus, I get a little stressed trying new stuff.

    Looks great.  It can only get better from here.  You're braver than I.  It will be a while before I build up the courage to try something like that.

    @stemc33‌ FWIW the first time I did a Caveman I pulled it too early for fear of overcooking with the carryover cook. Fortunately I like mine....

    Thanks @jcaspary‌ , hang around the forum long enough and these guys will have you doing all kinds of stuff you never thought you'd do. Better run while you can. ;)

    That's a great show @NPHuskerFL‌

    Sorry @stemc33 there's no hope of me running.  Totally hooked!!!  I've spent more time on this site in the last week than I have in the past year since I got my Egg.  Endless possibilities...

    WOW!! I would destroy that! Halibut and ribeye. My kind of meal. This cook easily earns the SGH seal of approval my friend. Solid as a rock all the way around! The pics are par excellent as well. =D>

    @SGH‌, I was actually on a thread with you last week when you were reviewing lump. I jumped off the thread for a moment and ordered the OO from FireCraft. It seems like everybody on the forum was talking about OO and RW. I liked RO except the bags I was buying had little pieces that left me with airflow issues. The OO was hot in no time and I just opened and dumped. Nice size pieces.

    Brother I'm glad you like the OO. It and RW are both par excellent. I use and highly recommend both for different cooks. Again glad you liked it and your food looks par excellent to say the least.

    @hapster‌, thanks for the advice earlier today.

    When I first seen your pics of cooking caveman awhile back, I knew I wanted to try it. Just took me a while to work up the nerve. I don't know, something about throwing down a good steak on the coals didn't seem right.

    But, what didn't seem right yesterday, seems completely right today. Thanks again.

    @SGH‌ , did you try to just use a portion of the quote. I figured out how to take out a pic from the quote, so people don't have to download the same pic over and over.

    I think I have got it now. If you can give farther instructions it certainly would be appreciated on my part though.

    Man that entire meal just looks perfect.  Can you tell us more about those potatoes?  Did you cook those on the egg? 

    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    That steak looks perfect to me!

    The price seems great - at a farmers market in my area, grass fed grass finished beef goes for around $23 per lb

    Heading home after a week away, sure do miss my egg. I want a little one to travel with!
