2. Lay Pork Belly Strips on grill at approx. 350F/180C.

3. Cook for approximately 12 - 15 minutes (we did 7 minute per side).

4. After initial cook pull strip off the grill onto a large board and light bast with Maple Syrup and gently coat again with C&S Rib Formula.

5. Flip over strip and repeat above for other side.

 Cluck & Squeal Bold Rib-eye steaks

Ingredients

1. Cluck & Squeal Bold Browning Seasoning

2. Rib-eye or any preferred cut of steak to your preference

Directions

Remove your Steak of choice from the fridge to allow it to warm up to room temperature. This may take a couple of hours unless you are comfortable with the sous vide method, which is reaching a desired temperature with the assistance of temperature controlled water and the meat placed in a vacuum bag and submerged. 

Lightly coat your 1" - 1.5" thick Ribeye steak or steak of choice with olive or grape seed oil

Apply the  Cluck & Squeal Bold Browning to just cover both sides of the Steak well.  

Allow 30 to 40 minutes for the steak to marinate.  Flip the steak when half this time has elapsed and try not to remove any of the rub. 

Preheat your grill to 550 degrees  for 10min and ensure your grill is clean from your last cook.

Steady the temperature anywhere between 525-550 degrees and apply cooking oil such as olive or grape seed to the grill with multiple folded paper towels.

Place your steak on the grill and do not flip for a minimum of 1.5 min.  The object is to sear the steak and achieve a crust on the surface of the meat before flipping the steak.  The Cluck & Squeal Bold Browning excels when you achieve a browned slightly charred minimally blackened appearance. When this is achieved on both sides you are on the right track to a wonderful steak.  Some grills with not enough searing power may need 2 - 3 minutes before flipping.

Finish your steak centre as desired once you have seared both sides.  Lowering your temperature of the grill maybe an option for some with high end bbq's or charcoal fired grills.  Lowering the temperature with allow you to not blacken the surface and to keep the desired taste and appearance where it should be with the Cluck & Squeal Bold Browning.  I have never lowered the temperature under 450 degrees if that helps.  I sometimes have the option moving my steak to a higher rack if my crust is perfect and my desired centre needs more time.  

Optional finish -  lightly baste one side with melted butter immediately when plated

 NO OPTION! - REST THAT STEAK! Minimum rest 5 minutes before cutting.

4. Cover fillets immediately with foil wrap and allow to stand for 3 - 5 minutes.

5. Serve.
