    From looking at the meat, I would say that it was smoked, but I'm not sure I'd call it barbecue. Barbecue is about long cooking at low heat, but that steak looked medium-rare, which means it couldn't have spent all that much time in that smoker.

    You see, the whole point of Central Texas BBQ is you take an unwanted cut of beef, the brisket and through the alchemy of rub, smoke and time transform it into an existential experience. I am a Central Texan who has been grilling, smoking and BBQ-ing since the 1960s and in the end, that is all that there is to that. You can read a book or the internet to learn what cut of meat, what rub and how long to smoke the meat. But the art comes in where the pit master uses his senses to determine when to flip, when to slow down, when to wrap and when to serve the most perfect meat that there is to be found. Dry aging? Kobe? Prime rib or sirloin? Humorous variations. But BBQ, fajitas and other "poor folks" dishes have been stolen and unfortunately usurped by people who proclaim how they discovered how to "best" prepare these dishes. Selling dry aged beef to affluent hipsters who have never tasted a slow smoked brisket, no sauce required for an exorbitant price does not represent the best of BBQ. Try visiting Lockhart, Texas and get the $7.99 plate with two sides. The former may be nice but the later is a true life changing experience.

    My local butcher does dry aging. I recently took a 3.5 pound tomahawk chop and reverse seared it with oak. It's absolutely delicious. Smoking it and searing it was the best decision. Beef geeks need to try this.

  • @RiamsWorld
    @RiamsWorld 3 роки тому

    I would understand if it were a tough cut of beef, like short ribs or brisket that you wanted to double tenderize, but barbecue for a tender cut like a standing rib roast doesn't really make sense, just not enough collagen. I mean, you can give it a dry rub and smoke it for flavor, but that's hardly BBQ in the American South sense of the term.

      "Barbecue or barbeque (informally BBQ or barby) is both a cooking method and an apparatus/machine. Barbecuing is done slowly over low, indirect heat and the food is flavored by the smoking process, while grilling, a related process, is generally done quickly over moderate-to-high direct heat that produces little smoke." -Wiki
      Also, it originated in the Caribbean.
