Hello, as the title says, i am quite new to grilling meats.

Earlier this year, i slow grilled a tomahawk and it felt just awesome and juicy. Just perfect!

This week, i decided to try again but the butcher was out of tomahawk so i bought a whole 2KG short rib. Came home, marinated it in some texan steak rub, put it in some foil and off to the grill it went. The grill temp was somewhere between 150-170 Celcius for 5 hours. Initially i wanted to make it go for 6h but i started to feel sleepy so i removed it.

I loved how it tasted, so tender and all. As per my taste, some parts were a bit too dry but i blame the meat. Any ideas or constructive criticism would be nice so i can improve myself the next time i try it

Also, i want to try the same thing but with lamb/sheep meat. But i don’t quite know which cuts are the fattiest ones for slow grilling in foil. Any idea would be very much appreciated!

Thanks and grill away

    That’s not “grilling.” That’s boiling in foil over an open flame

    Fuuuuuuuuck, this is literally the worst cook I’ve ever seen. Braising is for tough cuts. You must be British.

    > some parts were a bit too dry, but I blame the meat

    to grill jail you go, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

    you know what just drive off a cliff

  6. What has you convinced you should grill meat wrapped in foil?

    What on gods green earth did that meat do to you?

    I read the title and then saw the photo and I was sure you picked whatever it was off the ground before I realized what you actually did.

    Why are you like this?

  9. “As per my taste, some parts were a bit too dry but i blame the meat” LOL it definitely was not the meat.

    Is there a particular reason you’re “slow grilling” those cuts instead of just grilling them on high heat?

  11. I have never done a ‘low and slow’ rib steak. Now I’m curious.

    That looks drier than a 90 year old vagina

    WTF am I looking at?

    Why is there foil?

    Why is the meat braised? You might has well have put it in the oven

    150 C is not low and slow and also not a hot sear…it is literally the “grey zone” of cooking.

    OP, I’m not going to yuck your yum, and I’m glad you enjoyed it, but in my opinion, nearly everything done here is a travesty to a nice tomahawk

    This is bait. Especially how you said you blamed the meat. This isn’t real. Please god. Don’t be real.

    Honestly, that looks like barbacoa. Next time add some guajillo sauce and put the end results in some tacos.

  16. This has to be rage bait. Those temps are insane the amount of time you spent at those temps are insane. Grilling this kind of meat that way is insane. I hope you get whatever karma you are farming for
