It’s been a while since i’ve posted a cook, or even smoked something. Life got in the way the last few months.
Anyway. I was offered an opputinity to test a new savory rub from
bvbull200
What better way to test than a 3lb tomahawk. Aslo pictured is the test rub as it was shipped to me.
The cook plan, what else, reverse sear over a little apple, but mainly hickory. I put a light rub on one side, rested for 1/2 hour, flipped, rubbed the other side, and rested another 1/2 hour.
Got the smoker running and stable at 250, and put it on. Plan was to take it to 110IT, then sear. However, the wife was apparently starving to death and wanted to eat sooner than planned. It was on the smoke for about 45 minutes, then to the sear. The inkbird did well monitoring this cook.
Just off the smoke:
Even though it was only smoked for 45 minutes, the flavor was outstanding.
After searing to medium rare in the middle and a ten minute rest, the ends were medium, and the middle was perfect. Extra sear on this one as IT was only 75-80 when i started the sear.
Slice through the outer quarter, looks more done than it was:
The rub was delicious. I can’t quite put my finger on what made it so, but it was a lot more flavorful than my typical SPG rub. Wife and kid cleaned up their plates, and only a few small slices remain for a snack tomorrow.
Thanks for looking!
