Blackmores Wagyu Short Rib Meat

[Hector]

This is the Blackmores Wagyu Short Rib meat for the weekend.

The meat was rubbed with Mad Hunky GP Rub and will be smoked on the Komodo Kamado.

The Komodo all loaded up

On she goes onto the grill for dinner

This is the rib meat at 180F after 8 hours, starting to get hungry with a little bit of shrinkage. I've just brushed on some BBQ sauce that will set over the next hour.

After 9 hours I took it off at 195F. It was incredibly tender and delicious, thanks to the Mad Hunky. This was the most amount of smoke I've tasted on any meat. It was smoked with cherry and apple, the smoke flavor tasted amazing

Plated with a red wine jus and mashed potato.

It was an expensive cut of meat, tasted amazing but I wouldn't spend this much again. I want to master rib meat on the bone next.

Gorgeous hunk of meat!

 

Yeah, too bad it's so damned expensive.

Looks great.. I always rationalize spending more on meat by reminding myself how much more inferior meat costs at restaurants.

You are always sooo far ahead..  It's usually about 3-4X what the meat costs here.

Wagyu must be much less expensive there, Dennis, than it is here, even from our domestic suppliers. Even at Ruth's Chris (pricey steakhouse), a  prime grade ribeye is typically $40 and weighs in at a pound. So, you're saying you can get wagyu there for under $15/lb? WOW!!! The same steak here is going to be $45 - $70/lb, depending on supplier.

In Oz I can get hold of Fullblood MS9/9+ Brisket for $8.50aud/lb, F1 MS5-6 Eye fillet is around $20-$25aud/lb. These are pretty good prices as I go direct, still expensive but the quality is great.
