    Rubbed with nothing but splash of olive oil, coarse sea salt, black pepper.
    Smoked for 1.5h at 120°C until 50°C internal. Wood was a mix of hickory, oak and cherry.
    Rest for 20′ and then sear. I cut a bit too early and forgot to incise the fat cap.
    Besides that: tasted very good and very tender!
    I smoked fennel and small onions along with it, and used those in a “chimichurri” like dressing (should cut the parsley a bit finer).
    No leftovers…

    Next time score the fat.

    Stunning, though.

    Looks great!

    The one time I made this cut was to knock off the local Brazilian restaurant so I sliced it into 1″ steaks across the grain, curled it a bit (fat cap out) into a crescent and skewered it. Worked out pretty well with a nice sear on each cut.

    Tell us about the dish used for the veggies. I need something like that

  5. try to score and heavily salt the fat prior to cooking.

    looks medium(?) need more of a cross section of the slices tbh…def like to see how it turned out.

    Hope it came out the way you intended and tasted great
