Dry Brined Reverse Sear Tomahawks and Roasted Baby Red and Gold Spuds!

[civilsmoker]

So I cooked these the day before the throwdown but didn’t want to post it because it had the same or test pan seared shrooms for my entry….

Found these nicely trimmed baby’s!!!

Salted them up for a 36 hour open air dry brine….

Mrs Civil made these up while the hawks were brining…..

I’m not sure what happened to the smoke and cook pics, they vanished, must have cleaned them up off the phone by mistake……so you only get the plated pics…..

Pulled the hawks off the RT 1250 (smoked them at 180) after 60 mins then seared them and top rack roasted them till the INT hit 135….used the RFX probes for this. They have been my go to when I reverse smoke….in can change grills and even watch them in the holding oven….these rested in the house oven @140 for about 35 mins for the sides to finish….the spuds are par boiled in seasoned water (seasoned like the sea (salt), onion powder and garlic powder) then sliced and dressed with garlic fresh herb butter then convection roasted at 450 and broil finished….

Served with the trimmed rib bone, fresh herb roasted baby red and gold spuds and seared shrooms….garnished with fresh chopped herbs and Italian gray salt flakes…..pure money!!!

Finished off with these…..put some fresh berries over them but forgot to take a pic…..

Heck of meal once again Civil! To be clear (at least to me) Kosher salt, 2 sides and open air in the fridge for the beef?

Thanks clifish! That is correct…..kosher salt both sides about 1/2 tsp/lb then open air on a rack….thin steaks (under an inch) can be for just a few hours thicker can be over night…..here is what this will look like after 36 hours…..

I use these stainless trays and matching sheets….i have a number of sizes of these….they are money!

PS Jeff Phillips just sent out a recipe for this on his email letter…….. I do this all the time and I thought Jeff’s post was very good and worth a read! See his post below!

Welcome and dry brining is especially good for freezer steak as it looses moisture while in the freeze. It’s worth a go and to share pics!
