Nice score! We usually get them cut. They are 19.99 a pound at about 18 oz per steak.
Back in the day I could devour an 18 oz and have room for a giant baked tater and veggi, but I don't work for a living anymore.
12 Oz is enough for me now. Nice and thick to get a good sear and an almost rare center.


Steak contests specify 1 3/8 inches thick. Contest directors must get them all cut to that thickness for all contestants. Most guys use a heat gun to measure the heat of their coals and different temp for the grills before putting the steak on to cook. Rule of thumb is 3/4 inch inside the steak it should measure 142-146 degrees in order to get medium rare. That measurement is AFTER grilling both sides. Most guys wrap them in foil right after removing them as they will cook a bit more after removal

I don't want my center more than 128-130 degrees. Just slightly warm, but I understand the competition requirements. The judges need a baseline to compare against to see who can cook their "perfect steak".
Wife and I did the BBQ circuit for a couple of years. "fall off the bone" ribs would get a very low score. They must be tender, but still slightly attached to the bone for a little "bite" to remove the rib meat.
I still don't like ribs that the bone can just be pulled out of the rack after cooking. It's nothing but making pulled pork from ribs.
