Separated the Denver steak from a chuck roast yesterday. Overnight dry-brined and then smoked to an internal temp of 115F, then seared over charcoal for 6 minutes. Internal temp peaked at 143.8F and while I was shooting for around 140F, it still came really good. Probably could have seared for one minute less. Tomorrow, I am going to do the same thing to the chuck eye.

    I’ve never had Denver steak before, what is is comparable to? Like a New York strip but with more chew?

    Ngl, that crust looks slightly on the burnt side. Did it have a charred taste?

    Inside and presentation are stellar.

    I’m just gonna put it out there that reverse sear is an insurance for folks who can’t handle a cast iron.

    Taking nothing away from the the Denver, I would devour the whole thing

    The grates below the charcoal in picture #6 are not 90degrees to the grates above. Minus 5 fake internet points.
