Your plate must also include a baked potato and a green vegetable or fruit. Green salad is an acceptable vegetable. Green Skittles are not. Veggie or fruit preparation is at your discretion. Raw is acceptable. Your entry photo must contain all three of these finished items (Steak, Baked potato, Green Veggie or fruit) Somewhere in your entry you must show a picture of your steak sliced, but it does not have to be in the entry picture.

Sounds simple enough to me! :thumb: What could possibly go wrong? :biggrin1:

Let's get this clusterfark started!:rockon: Please except the following as my entry in the clusterfark TD.

Wasn't planning on entering this one, was actually contemplating a few weeks away from the computer, but......had these in the freezer

Seasoned up good with my beef rub, I spent over a year working on this rub and I'm finally content.

Then set my OTG up indirect with some virginia white oak on the hot side. Sorry about the darkness, wifey and I have to wait till the little ones are in bed prior to doing things like eating a peaceful dinner together.

then I set them on the oak for a sear, pulled when they felt right

Served with a simple caesar and a salt crusted bacon potato. These little beauties were phenomenal, wifey is very happy.

That looks fantastic Shenco!

DQ, that ribeye ain't sliced. It's cut in half....

Great first volley! I've never seen a ribeye look like that, sure looks delicious and well cooked!

Thanks! The fillet of ribeye is a ribeye with the cap removed. I enjoy the caps as they are the most flavorful part of a ribeye, but I bet SRF separates them and makes more by selling them separate.

Correct Shenco,the cap of the Ribeye, the Spinalis Dorsi, is one of the rarest cuts of meat, and extremely difficult to find. SRF would have them though.

ShencoSmoke · Mar 7, 2015

I tried to talk my butcher into selling me just the cap one time, he said "sure, I will sell it to you, but you have to buy the rest of the roast too"

Fantastic start SS! :clap2: :thumb:

CharredApron · Mar 8, 2015

Please accept this as my official Clusterfark entry.

Picked up a little bit of Entrecôcte which is ribeye here in France. It was more than adequate to qualify for the special rule regarding "1" or thicker" What do you think?

My Obligatory "Sliced Shot"

My final entry shot and polling pic if you please. Ribeye Steak, Potato and Brussels Sprout Soup, with Roquefort creme. What a ClusterFark
