Megan ThermoWorks ThermoWorks approached me about doing an Throwdown so I said why not.

The theme for this throwdown is:

STEAK

For this throwdown It has to be a intact steak. The pictures above would be acceptable if you want to slice it for plating. We do not want to see the meat sliced up and mixed into a dish so this is what we mean by intact. Any question PM me and ill clarify and give feedback on your idea.

Here is a link to the throwdown rules. PLEASE read and become familiar with the rules to avoid any future disappointments.


Entries must be submitted by midnight Tuesday April 8th via a private message to me bmudd14474 bmudd14474 Any entries posted to the open forum, or my profile page will be automatically disqualified.

The codeword for this throwdown is: Madness or March Madness if you'd like, and must be included in your submission picture on a had written piece of paper.

Now onto the Outstanding prize packages being offered:

Goodluck
 
Welp, I pulled out a brisket last week, trimmed and prepped it for an overnight cook sat night at 10pm. Woke up at 0600 and looked at my phone app and my RT was off. I said oh no! Went out there and the meat was cold and no power to my back garage. Had to throw it away. Took me a cpl hrs thinking on what could've happen and I think I figured it out. Earlier on Saturday, I used my air compressor. Well I never turned it off so I'm betting it turned on during the night and tripped the breaker. Stupidity on my part.

Well out of sheer principal, I went to the store and got some beef ribs and a chuck roast to throw on and did that sunday.

I thought I would share my mini disaster.

Only ones that cant enter are if you are a judge of the throwdown.
