Ribs and Steak w/Qview

[bmudd14474]

Wife wanted Ribs and Steak so that's what we did. A local store had "Ribeyes" for 5.98/lb listed as USDA Inspected. Looking out them they looked good marbling wise but they were just the eye with the cap removed. I decided to give them a try. Also I have been working on a new steak rub so why not.

Here they are resting with some rub on them.

Only got 1 picture of the steaks when there was 1 left. These were surprisingly good.

Then got 2 slabs of st louis ribs. Didn't need very much trimming. Here it is with freshly applied rub.

Let it sit for 10 minutes and then you have this. Also, no there was no binder at all.

1hr in

2hrs in

After the rub and sauced.

Resting

If you are wondering why the 2 racks looked different one was wrapped with butcher paper and the other with foil. It was an interesting experiment.

The butcher paper had better bark but wasn't as tender.

The foil's bark wasn't as good but was way more tender and bones were pulling/falling out. Even though a few bones fell out they held together well and was a nice bite but was a little fall off the bone.

Might do the butcher paper for about 30 minutes longer next time to see if it gets a tad more tender.

Also, during this time I had my youngest son do everything other than the initial trimming and applying the rub. He really enjoyed it so next time ill have him do it start to finish.

Thanks for looking.

Well Brian, the ribeyes look pretty good and so do the ribs. I'm interested in the wrapping experiment and your results. What's the rub on the ribs?

Both the steak and the ribs look terrific Brian - nicely done! And it's good to get your son in on the fun. I don't remember who, or when, but I recall seeing someone else do a similar experiment with wrapping ribs, with similar results to yours.

Looks like the new steak rub is a hit and both ribs looked great!

Rub is my own recipe that I make.

I want to do this experiment again this time ill put the foil in the back and butcher paper ones in the front to see if that makes a difference. I don't think it will but want to be fair about it.

I like that experiment, that's how my mind works. Always the "what if". When I worked for a living, my job was trouble shooting and problem solving so I was always looking for answers and comparisons through changing things up, even just little/simple changes...
