SCA Steak Competition: Advanced Strategies from a BBQ World Champion. A COMPLETE Tutorial

In this video, Brian joins Rus Jones (Smoky Ribs) as they go to Hog Addiction HQ and spend the day with their friend and World Champion, Marcio Borguezan.
Brian hosts you as Marcio takes you through a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to pick, prep, season, grill and present a steak for a SCA Steak Competition. He shows you advanced methods that pros use. These methods will accelerate your knowledge practically as much as attending a live class. We were as thorough as we could be.

Best competition style steak cook video I have ever seen! Gotta get me some GrillGrates for my Weber kettle. Those steaks had the best doneness I could ever want. Perfect! Keep up the great work and thank you all for sharing the awesome tips! I appreciate it

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]

@7:54 its called a surgeon's knot

[@kan-zee]

😎👍💯🌟🌟🌟Awesome...28:17 ..I love that long flat pronged flipper tool ....never seen those before. I learned alot from this instructional video....thank you for sharing it. 🤩👍

[@oldrustycars]

I plan to try a competition or two this year, I'm signed up for the judging class. I've been cooking steak for 50 years, it seems the seasonings are excessive. Is this like barbecue contests, where what wins contests is not what you make at home for friends?

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]

There is a lot of seasoning used on comp steaks 🥩. You have to stand out and you have one bite to do it. The competitions are fun and I enjoy the people involved.

[@emmanuelmartinez2845]

What brand was the steak knife that cut the twine

[@bullnosebbq]

Yea.... I want to know too...

[@mikerayis456]

that string/knife was a trick/joke

[@andrewbowen1484]

Can anyone tell me what tool he was using to apply his finishing dust?

[@destinationdero]

Good looks good guys. Like 22 new friends. Have a great week.

[@mattherke9957]

So do you use your own seasoning for competition?

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]

Absolutely!

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

That’s really cool Brian, I’ve only been a part of one comp and it’s wild. SCA sounds good and man those are some great tips he shared. Awesome you guys got to hang out together and well heck eat some amazing steaks. Take care brother!

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]

Bro, he brought the info and those steaks were amazing!

[@Garymayo]

You tie the steak because you have seen a hundred other people do that, and they usually don't win anything. So why follow the crowd? There is a better way

[@Moshbearpig]

Hopefully one day the SCA will judge more on the taste of the meat instead of the rub and the appearance. Until then these guys are just playing within the ruleset and playing to win. Epic video, Cheers.

[@davidvanway5891]

Great video tutorial. Just cooked my first SCA last weekend and wished I would’ve seen this prior. Question on doneness: The guys kept saying “perfect medium rare.” I thought the goal in SCA was medium doneness? I do agree that taking it off at 135 IT would rest up to a medium doneness though.

[@nategibbons172]

New to SCA as well (I prefer judging side) You are correct, medium is the goal. Judges are given a nice color chart picture to give out 6-10 on doneness.

[@ToneNewEra]

Been awhile since your comment, hopefully my question finds you. Exactly what part of the steak are you probing for the 135 IT? I ask because backyard, obviously I probe the middle but wasn't sure for the SCA comp

[@JaxxDrinkwater]

Those are some beautiful steaks Brian. Good job guys and thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]

Jaxx Drinkwater thank you, Jaxx! Marcio did a very thorough job. They were delicious!

[@jeremyadams6461]

Hey Brian I am curious why there was no Marinade? Is there a reason Mario and others do not marinate their competition steaks?

[@daddydutchbbq]

Brian, both you and Rus put out excellent videos showing Marcio’s techniques! He is definitely a wealth of knowledge ! Excellent job!

[@SmokehouseBayouSmokedMeats]
