Caveman steaks

[bhambrewer]

Pork cushion meat. Sous vide @ 149F for 24 hours. Remove from heat and allow to cool more or less to room temp. Cut into generous steaks. Pat dry steaks with paper towel. Season liberally. Slap down on top of hot lump charcoal, about 2 minutes per side (I lost count a couple of times so it may have been closer to 5 minutes total charcoal time).

Result?

Nom!

Nice coloring. I'd enjoy them anytime.

it's a question of "when" I do them again, not "if".

I think next time I'll do it with a boneless Boston Butt. As I have said in other posts I like using cushion meat for the experiments because, while it's more expensive per pound than Boston Butt, I get 4 cushion meat chunks per packet so I don't mind experimenting on them.

Delicious, delicious experiments....

I like that you mention to "slap down" the steaks onto charcoal. Anything less than slapping down your meat on fire to get a proper sear is inadequate. Great job!

it means you don't have to worry about the meat being OK to eat - it's pasteurised and, in the case of the cheap pork cuts the connective tissue has rendered out into gelatin.

Methinks I need to delve into sous vide.
Shorten the grill into pork chop shoe leather for my wife ... and me. Bad parents so that is a comfort food.

Looks awesome. Great color, and I'm sure juicy too. Great work.
