CoCoCabana Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 This was an epic event 5 Carnivores , 1 Veggi and a Vegan . My task was to feed the Meateaters !! These 2 monsters were called into duty !! Credit where credit's due the base recipe was from Malcom Reid YouTube linked here if anyone needs . Im quite familiär with reverse Sear but this was Zap then bring em up slowly . I used a salt/ white pepper prep rub to draw up the moisture . Then some Ankerkraut BBQ WIESEL magic beef dust which I know to be tried and trusted . VEERING away (1) from the video I injected the T'hawks with an infusion of Beef stock, 1Tsp Marmite and crumbled an Oxo cube to enhance the richness .This I pumped in from both sides until oozing . The Sear was done at 600+ On a Weber Gas ( I found it hard to maintain the 600 on the grill for the 4 Mins per side . - which would have been easier in my charcoal grill hence a back end sear)m was decided upon) Then the slow cook was for about an hour 15 and I added veer no 2 ( some peaty whiskey chunks to smoke away in the corner . Basted with some chopped "Frankfurter Grune Sauce Herbs, butter , garlic and the Marmite infusion mixed with some dripped meat juices . Pulled it off at what I thought was 50 using my non temp probe ( very retro ) and put it to rest for 20 Mins Veer no3 to finish em off I 600 seared again 90 secs a side a side to mature the crust . I was pretty sure it was accurate and the press technique also told me time was up . The flavour was fantastic and I was catering for 3 MR and 2 Rare is definitely the 3 were over the moon. Was very happy with the bark , the whiskey had done its work and infused even with such a short smoke time. the meat was extremely tender though the fats had not completely rendered . There's a little left over for beef sarnies so I suppose the proof of the pudding .....bla bla I do though think Tomahawks are as much for show than anything else . When you are already coughing up a hefty dollop of cash paying for the bone which serves only to help handling and optics is a clear consideration. My Rhodesian Ridgeback will disagree.

Smokin Monkey Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 That Beef looks awesome. Good point about paying good money for the bone, which after all is the waste product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I am just starting a charcoal briquette comparison, one of which will be the Cococabana. I have been waiting for the last of the bags to arrive and I will start it on Tuesday or Wednesday next week when I return from the tailgate. It will be a mix of "premium" and "supermarket" brands, coconut, briquettes and lumpwood charcoal. Just waiting on some restaurant grade charcoal to arrive.
