Those look fantastic! I use Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder and some smoked Cayenne.
I use the exact same approach. The key is to let them rest for at least and hour- this lets the meat relax. It also gives you wiggle room if the cook goes a little longer than planned. But they are well worth the wait.
You are going to have to find some Canadian beef to compare. 🧐
Resting indeed is the most forgotten part of any cook, yet probably one of the most important things you can do for a better result, whether it's a simple steak or a slow cook.
I'm gonna add a bit of Cayen next time too for a bit more heat.
I have no idea where to find Canadian Beef...:/
Hehe, I now own more coolers for "resting" than I do for keeping things cool.
If you are looking for Canadian beef, always look for Alberta Beef. At least when I am in the US, I've never seen it branded as Canadian beef, I've only seen it listed as Alberta beef. (Alberta is a province of Canada)
