Holy Palomino, did I do something stupid today! (stupid because I'm gravely under-employed). I bought the BIGGEST steak I've ever seen! A 4lb, 3" T-Bone...











I'm gonna grill on my Big Green Egg Florentine style with sauteed spinach and garlic roasted potatoes.







I hope this meets with LaRue's primal diet approval.
































































Shocked! Shocked I tell you!

Damn.  That's a pricey piece of meat.  The most I ever went was $20 a pound for dry aged bone out ribeye.  Marinated 7 pounds worth for two days in cajun spice and it was the damn best steak I ever made.

That's the biggest, most expensive t-bone I ever saw.    10/10    

So,  how was it?   Cooking method?

Grilled it on my Big Green Egg. Temp 500; 10 minutes a side over direct, then scooched it over to the side for another 5 minutes. came off the grill @ 130 degrees and rested 10 minutes. (I took pictures with a flash so the color looks washed out. It came out medium rare)









Worth every dime, but it'll be a long time before I can break open the piggy bank again for that. Pure D decadence.

 












Prep: I completely coated both sides in salt and put in the fridge for several hours. An hour before I put it on the grill, I took it out, wiped all the salt off and patted it dry. Then I pressed a good coating of the rub* on and let it sit on the counter. Right before it went on the grill, I coated both sides with olive oil.













*Rub...




1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary




1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme




1
Tbsp finely chopped fresh sage




2
Tbsp coarse kosher salt




2 Tbsp coarse ground black pepper

This steak was my magnum opus.

Absolutely gorgeous and hella expensive but I'll nitpick that looks more medium than medium rare

The flash on the camera washed out the color.
