ckreef Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Yes Sirrreeee! The thread title is an accurate description. Tomahawk steaks cut from Angus veal. At about 4" in diameter and 2" thick they make the perfect single serving Tomahawk steaks. M&T Meats did me right with these. All trimmed up. I made a quick batch of Reef's Montreal marinade. Into the fridge for a couple of hours. Made some blue cheese compound butter. I decided on a reverse sear. Here they are on the low-n-slow phase. Hickory chunks for a kiss of smoke. A couple baked potatoes along for the ride. It's at this point I need to stop the narrative and tell a story........... Time for the sear phase. I got the Akorn Jr blazing hot. 30 seconds rotate, 30 seconds flip. At this point I got my expensive point and shoot camera out to take a couple of pictures. After the first picture I dropped the camera onto the deck. Oh crap!! It landed on the side of the lens and now the lens won't retract properly so it won't take pictures any more. Well this meal just went from $45 for two people to $545 Steaks done so inside we go. I plate up and get out my better camera to take a few money shots. I then proceed to drop my $900 Sony mirror less camera on the ground. Fortunately it landed on carpet so no harm. At this point I was just done taking pictures for the night which is why the last two pictures are sort of crappy. With all that was said, fortunately this was one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Will definitely get more of these in the future. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Wow sorry about the camers! But those steaks look scrumptious plus yummy, and pictures look good also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 TY Bruce, a little bummed about the camera as it's served me well over the years. The steaks were the bomb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Those steaks look nice and juicy. I keep wanting to borrow Bruce's line, bust camera or not, the pictures make you want to pick them up off the screen and eat them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sear picture being the last picture that camera got to take at least it came out decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hopefully you can find a good camera shop that can fix it. Might have to travel up to Atlanta or somewhere to find a shop, but to save a $500 camera, it's be worth a drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine they'll just put a new retractable lens on it. The question will be for how much? If it's going to be a $300 fix I'd probably just buy something new for $500. I don't know. I'm just bummed as that camera has given me many great pictures. 90% of the pictures you've seen me post over the years was taken with that camera. It's one of those cameras that you just point and shoot and you're almost guaranteed a decent picture every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKenzie Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 CK, I am so sorry about the camera, I can imagine how sick you must have been. Hopefully you can get it repaired for a reasonable fee. Dinner was spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pearson Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 I have come realize that the majority of the meals pictured on this site look wonderful and tasty. I have also come to realize what a novice cook I am. But that’s ok all I can do is learn more and more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference between some of us and everyone else is we'll experiment with anything and not worry about failing. You always learn more from failures than you learn from successful cooks. I have failures weekly, I usually don't post my failures. Tonight was a good example. Using Robert's slap yo mama Cajun fish batter I fried up 6 whole catfish tonight. Although it tasted good and me and Mrs skreef ate them all, I consider it a failure. The grease really wasn't hot enough to start with and my crappy electric stove can't really keep up. That's okay I learned from it and next go round will be much better (maybe I'll post a picture then). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s a side effect of all the great postings here but I feel like I have so much to learn from you all. I just seriously started BBQing and smoking about six months ago so I’m a novice myself. Before I got Gossamer I never cooked with charcoal before. I have lots of experience in the kitchen but not with grills. I was a poor weekend griller before that. I’ve had quite a few pizza failures that I didn’t bother you all with. I really enjoy all of our meals and comments here.
