Today, we're diving deep into the world of steaks, and boy, do we have a treat for you! We’re putting the spotlight on two unsung heroes of the steak world: the hanger steak and the flat iron steak. And while these two cuts might not have that impressive or standout look compared to others, their flavor is out of this world. Now, I’ve known about these cuts for a while, but no one ever told me just how amazing they really are. It feels like I've been missing out, and I'm here to make sure you don't make the same mistake! Remember that butter-basted grilled steak we cooked up recently? That was a game-changer. I can confidently say that I’ve never had a better steak. But it was not just the meat itself; it was this incredible rub we tried out. It's like nothing I've ever tasted before, and I’m pretty sure it’s unbeatable… at least for some time. (Wes even said he'd put it on anything!) In this episode, I'm sharing the secret to this amazing rub and revealing a few more things about steaks I bet you didn’t know. But you'll have to tune in to find out what they are. So, what are you waiting for? Join me, and let’s talk all things steak. Key Takeaways: Intro (00:00) Hanger steak - the one that doesn’t look like a standout (00:54) Steak cooking methods and flavors (02:37) Kosmo’s recent trip to Key West (05:23) Where does the hanger steak come from?

Now, if you're a beginner in the barbecue world, starting with pork is perfect... or even brisket. Those are the two ways to go for any newcomer. Given our recipe's darn near perfect (read: easy to follow, hard to mess up, and ends with a mind-blowing result), we got to chattin’ about other BBQ tips and tricks. So, come on down and join us! We ain't just talkin' pork; we'll dive into fire management, how to check if your meat's done just right, chat about BBQ pits and tools, and I might even spill the beans on whether I'm thinkin' of openin' up a BBQ joint.
