£20 "cowboy steak" from ocado tonight, wanted to get one for my birthday "treat" last weekend but the delay in the kamado arriving and needing to focus on feeding more people at my bday bbq I postponed it to this weekend.
got temp up to 130c on ambient probe on indirect side of grill, cooked on that side til it reached 52c internal flipping once around 30c, took off and wrapped in foil while I opened both vents and get dome temp up around 230-250c, finished it off on direct heat side for about 2 mins a side (probably should have waited another minute or two to get the temps up higher and gone for 1 min). over shot the intended doneness inside by a teeny bit but was happy enough to put it down as another learning exercise on the kamado, tweaked a couple of things on the signals/billows setup this time and was pleased with improvements I saw on temp stability. bodes well for boston butt next week.
served with some gnochhi at end of its BBD that needed eating stirred through with some butter, cream, pesto and parmesan.
saved a few slices for a sandwich tomorrow. the dog helped me polish off the rest.
booze and food has never played well together in my digestive tract so I tend to only do one or the other but I did have a couple of cans of 1664 while I laid in my hammock watching the sensor temps on my phone.
