How To Win An SCA Steak Competition Ft. Kosmos Q

Back in 2015, I won the World Steak Cookoff and $10,000! But not before I ran all over the place competing so I could qualify for the competition. In this video, You’ll get a fly-over view of everything I’ve learned in my years competing in Steak Competitions. Only this time is a bit different because we’re cooking on the brand new Hasty-Bake HB250! This little gem is perfect for SCA Competitions. They thought of everything and really took the time to make this one a contender when it comes to your arsenal for SCA.

So after running into your video I used this method to cook up some ribeyes. You’re the man thank you they came out just perfect

[@KosmosQ]

Congrats David Olvera.

[@Byrthor]

One of these days I'm going to have to try all three of those rubs on a steak. I've just been using SPG on them and they taste great.

[@bradk3670]

2 questions: What is your grill temp appox? Is there a benefit of doing the sear marks on one side at a time rather than alternating?

[@realzeti]

OMG!!! 1. I want one of these HB270 (already have the H.B. Legacy) but this little thing would be perfect for camping 2. I want me some steak, but it is already 9:30 PM (shut) 3. Kosmo, you rock, thank you !!!

[@KosmosQ]

Thank you Brad K

[@eemmanuelgarza9578]

Great video! What temp were you grilling those steaks at? Does that grill not have an exhaust to prevent flare ups that can mess up the grill marks?

[@skoomskaa]

E Emmanuel Garza the grill grates are solid at the bottom so there is never any flare up. No fat ever reaches the coals. Notice no quick flare ups when he sprayed the duck fat...

[@chrisberry3146]

Best wishes Wes!!! You exit some vids bro!

[@joetankersley7167]

Kosmo, In your other steak videos you use the 45 degree method to get the grill marks. In this one you use 90 degrees. Whish do you like the best???

[@KosmosQ]

90

[@Brian-nj4ci]

What do you use to marinate ? An for how long ?

[@Mickcotton]

Killer. Absolutely Delicious. Thank You So Much. I’m cooking up RibEye Steaks like crazy. And all my Friends say. That they are The Best that they Ever Had. ❤️🥩

[@KosmosQ]

Thank you Mick Cotton Bar-B-Q

How long did you marinate for also is the brine one the same amount of time?

[@cstolle3363]

Nice. No beer 🍻? It's a must. Cheers player!

[@butopiatoo]

B also was marinated so it would have different flavor. I like smoke but you didn't put any wood on your grill. What was total time for each? Is there a time limit in competition?

[@robertwoods4457]

Were is Wes going?

[@budzlightyear2212]

These grates are the best. There is a learning curve w/them tho. No doubt that the longer the meat is on the Grill Grates the better. There is a difference between a cross hatch grill mark and a branding. These grates can lay down that "brand" and that's where you'll find the Crispy,crunchy crazy flavorful MAGIC!

[@nathanweyls8930]

Cosmo how do you tell if a steak is tuff before you eat it?

[@InformalGreeting]

KZbin is amazing. Went in the store today to buy some brisket mop for the ribeyes I was cooking tonight. Also used cow cover but not dirty bird hot…used Malcom Reed’s steak rub instead. Get done with dinner and here’s the video showing what I basically just cooked.

I have watched a ton of your videos. I got an idea for a new video for you... Why don't you do a video on what grills/smokers you use most best bang for the buck, which one for starters and which is a comp style. I have Treager and I am looking to get a charcoal grill or barrel and so lost which way to go. I am not spending $2k on one but not sure which to go to do it all. You have reviews but nothing like this. So get going! LOL

Ever gonna sell some of those awesome seasonings down here in Lynchburg Tn? We could use em at Woodards market.

How are the steaks judged? Is it one steak to one judge or do they cut it up into pieces once its at a table and have multiple judges?

You turn 1 in and eat the other

What temp are you getting the grill grates to?

I like 600 on the hot side. With the HB250 the “cold” side was about 100 degrees cooler when we burned it in.
