    We both like rare steak but want the crisp fat and slight bark on the meat.
    The solution was to cook partially frozen on a screaming hot charcoal grill
    Works great for grocery meat counter steaks, about 3/4 to 1 inch thick

      Agreed, guess that’s why we aren’t judges either

              Jonesy I think it would be fun to go and sample all the foods at a competition and judge them and then be able to look at the judges sheets and see how you would compare to what they are looking at.

                  bocephus glen , I think the “real competitors” would be surprised if just regular old people (I don’t mean age) did the judging. For me, if a steak tasted great, thats more important then if the grill marks are straight.

                  hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

                                    twilliams I agree, a little seasoning to enhance the flavor, but I want to taste a good steak.

                                      Here is what the SCA looks for from their site:

                                      Steaks are judged on Appearance, Doneness (Medium), Taste, Texture
                                      and Overall Impression. Tie breaker: Taste, Doneness, Texture, Appearance, and Overall
                                      Impression.

                                        Sounds like way to much work for me, throw on the grill with steak and roast rub.

                                        bocephus That’s the problem with competition anything, it turns it into work & we are doing that usually for pleasure. Like someone trying to convince you to be a fishing guide or something & bowling over that your not interested. You are taking something that is to relax for & enjoy life & turning it into work.
