Dry brined 24 hours before grilling/air dried in the fridge.

Reverse sear:
~300F for about 1 hour indirect (target 115F IT)
Switch to direct setup
Let rest while temp increases to ~500F
Grilled about 5 minutes to give it some color.

    Worcestershire sour, anyone?

    Great looking tomahawk, @paqman. I’m assuming that’s a Costco purchase?

    Out of curiosity, have you tried the ungraded cuts from the Costco Business Centre? I suspect the tenderloin is probably pretty good, but haven’t felt compelled to try it yet.

    Beautiful hunk of beef right there.  You did it up extremely well.

    I go through so much Worcestershire, it is ridiculous.

    Sterling Silver from IGA, they had a huge discount a few weeks ago, but ran out of stock… SWMBO grabbed a couple of rain checks 😎

    I have tried the ungraded Argentinian Picanha and tenderloin, both were great.  Not sure about the other ungraded cuts from other sources.

    Gotta alert me to such deals!! 🙃

    I figure the ungraded tenderloin has to be worth it. It’s already a cut that is so tender and devoid of fat. 
  • That is one fantastic cook!!
