    Rubbles Over for Steak Dinner

    Had Barney and Betty Rubble over for Friday night steak dinner. Of course with that we have to endure that delightful child better known as Bam Bam;

    ....so in his majesty's honor I pulled a brontosaurus steak out of an iceberg to prepare. Got one over at that Paleozoic emporium better known as Costco. This puppy was a 1 1/2" prime, bone-in rib-eye dying to be eaten raw by the boy but I convinced his parents that medium rare would have to suffice. Here it is ready for its over nght salting;

    After applying some of Meathead's Big Beef Rub I slapped it on the old gasser at about 275 to roast for a while. Had to fight off a Physornis (look it up) who attempted to rob the pit;

    Brought this big boy up to about 115 and gave it a rest. Then cranked up the old sear zone to flame thrower level and gave it a good reverse sear with some Ghee;

    At a perfect IT of 130 we rested then carved this gargantuan in an attempt to feed all comers. Bam Bam, with all his verve, decided he only wanted that big bone so last we saw he was running down the block followed closely by the neighborhood dogs (poor dogs). Oh well, we enjoyed the meat anyway, it was tender with melt in your mouth goodness. Next up will probably be a Woolly Mammoth roast, hear its lean and tastes like buffalo. Any suggestions on how to smoke would be greatly appreciated. Happy Smokin' Ya'll..

      That's because you got drunk on those T-Rex shots and Betty had to drag you home, literally....

    I think your Woolly Mammoth would be great with MMD - Meathead's Mammoth Dust. Great cook BTW.

                  Reverse sear is well within your reach. You require only a few items: a good instant read thermometer, and something that you can get really hot. Doesn't take long to master.

                  Fun fact for ya: Fred and Wilma Flintstone were the first American TV couple to be shown lying in bed together.

                    I didn’t know that. Am I now smarter for it?

                    Nah, just more stuff to put up in the attic to mix with the other stuff, and then see what it's turned into when you open the trap door and it comes out of your mouth! ;-)

                    Well, at least that's my experience. It can be pretty entertaining if you're easily entertained like I am.

                  Jerod is not entirely correct about the couple lying in bed. The Flintstones were actually the second couple, a very early sitcom called Mary Kay and Johnny was the first. Flintstones were certainly one of the first and certainly first for an animation. Other facts you may not know (or probably don't care to know) about the Flintstones;

                  1) Originally the Flintstones was called the Flagstones and the characters of Barney and Fred were drawn as slouching cavemen with scraggly beards and distorted hump backs. The pilot on that one didn't go over too well so they came back as clean cut Flintstones.

                  2) Although it wasn't really a copy of the show, Fred's character was based on Jackie Gleason's character Ralph Kramden in the Honeymooners (one of my all time favorites, "To the moon Alice !").

                  3) The Flintstones actually endorsed numerous products at the time like cigarettes and beer.

                  4) Ideal Toys actually talked Hanna Barbera into creating Pebbles as a little girl instead of them having a boy. They ended up selling millions of dolls as a result, which their marketing research had indicated.

                  5) The Flintstones's latest venture, The Flintstones and WWE: Stone Age Smackdown in 2015 didn't do much to revive the show but further attempts being executive produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay are in the works. May the Flintstones's never die !!!!

                  Now that we've wandered WAY off the reservation on this one, I'm hungry and looking for another steak !!! Yabba Daaba Doooo.......

                    Didn't know all these fact, but not surprised by the Honeymooners relation....Hey Ralphie boy!!

                  Great cook. I always liked the similarities between the Flintstones and the Honeymooners. All 4 of the main characters voices are similar.
