NY strip

Bought a cow from a rancher friend in west Texas. This was a 6 year old grass fed free range cow that didn’t calve this past fall. I paid to have it fed out on grain for 4-5 months. Didn’t intend for it to be fed that long but getting a butcher date in that small town didn’t line up well.

Finally got it butchered and brought it home. Very happy with the quality of the beef.

Reverse seared these on my big smoker while I was smoking sausage. Pulled at 100 internal and grilled off.

Rookie move, put well marbled meat on the grill then went to get a fresh beer. Let the fire get away from me a bit so some of them ticked more into the medium range. Still very happy with the cook.
