So, I head into Smart and Final for my weekly cook. Thinking a mix of beef and pork this time. For the beef, probably a brisket, or MAYBE splurge on tritip. Larger than usual selection which includes... a 17.5lb rib eye?!? You can figure out the price, so I just chuckled, and loaded some pork (cushion). But the hook had been set, and the wheels were turning.
Tight squeeze, but those 6 hunks of pork (9lb total) just made it on one bar. The rib eye took about 3:45 to hit 125ish, and gave it a good hour+ in foil after pulling it. The pork was on a bit longer, think it hit 190, but thermometer starting acting a bit peculiar so not positive. It did not chop quite as easily as I expected, so maybe it was a little less. (Which is fine, since I just eat it straight, not sandwich style.)
Oh... that rib eye was worth every penny!
