Not sure my plans next weekend, but steak sounds awesome! And a dedication to Kathryn is a great reason to grill some.
on another note, I was in Winco yesterday and saw tomahawk steaks (don’t know the quality), first time seeing them around here in stores. I snapped this photo and sent to my husband, he said Yes! 😂 I didn’t buy them yet, but maybe I’ll have to return and grab some. First time looking at prices in stores closely too and meat is expensive!
tamidw Yes! Grab em. I was really hoping we’d get someone doing some tomahawks for this occasion. I spent $64. on just King Crab legs, y’all can do this! [just teasing, kind of 😂]

fzxdoc I stumbled across this thread yesterday (Tuesday) during some searches / surfing on here, and then had to search and dig more for a while to actually find the initial referenced thread with Kathryn telling her laundry & stairs story.... Oh my... I don't really know how I missed it till now..... I literally had no idea all this time. Kathryn, thinking about you!! You ROCK! Stay Strong!
I won't be able to make steaks Feb 17-19, but I did tonight for Kathryn (Wed). I went to the store yesterday (Tues) and got some Prime Ribeyes, and dry brined them overnight.
A week or so ago, a recent post from Kathryn fzxdoc was how I discovered the awesome Oakridge BBQ Rubs that were apparently well loved, but now out of business. I hadn't heard of Oakridge before, but because of that post about Carne Crosta etc from Kathryn, I went and bought a bunch of Oakridge Rubs I was able to still find online, and used the Carne Crosta tonight for the 1st time ever, on some ribeyes... seared them ~1500 deg radiant (heat from above). They were great... Thinking of you Kathryn! Here's a Carne Crosta ribeye tribute to you!

Wow! Thank you so much, nikolausp . That is one gorgeous steak. You're making me hungry. So how did you like the Oakridge Carne Crosta rub compared to other steak rubs that you've used?
Looking at that photo, you're making me want to go out and buy even more Carne Crosta and a nice thick ribeye.
Got me a pair of Choice bone-in Wild Fork ribeyes, clocking in at a little over 1.25lb/~600g each, thawing in the fridge for Saturday night's Steak Kathryn event...! I'll be using our standard sous vide que approach, but plan to sear over charcoal this time instead of on the gasser. Gonna be good!

I do something similar with a sharpie. On my spice jars….and horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and other bottles in my fridge, I’ll write the “Best Buy” dates on them when I first buy them. It’s so hard to see the small print they use and sometimes it’ll wear off where you can’t read it anymore.

Wow! I counted 56 people who said they’re in for the steak cook-off starting tomorrow….awesome! A couple of those have already done their cook and posted, due to scheduling conflicts, but feel free to post them again in the new thread I’ll start tomorrow. This is pretty darn cool! As usual, we can keep going for a bit after Sunday, if you’re not able to do your steak cook this weekend…..post it Monday or Tuesday if needed.
Anyone who’s just seeing this for the first time, jump in if you can…….Again, I’ll start a new post in the morning for everyone to start posting their pics.
The winner of the steak cook-off will win either a free year’s supply of steaks OR this picture of a bunch of steaks! ..[it’ll probably be the picture though]

Wow, 56 of you all cooking steaks, keeping me in your thoughts. What a humbling event. Thank you, everyone, and thank you, Panhead John , for your kindness.
I'm going to love seeing the steak cook photos. An excellent way to live vicariously.
That picture of a picture of steaks is a pretty awesome prize, PJ. I'm sure it will spark intense competition.
