Real Men Sow. Cross Rib Roast - Pit Beef style. I happened upon a cross rib roast from Pacific Pastures, one of my preferred beef providers here in California.

The beef is grazed and finished on organic pastures and is an excellent source of a full spectrum of nutrients and with cuts like cross rib, the amount of unhealthy fats are reduced. I decided it was a good plan to prepare this as a pit beef style roast (based upon recommendations from the BBQ Brethren's Smokejumper). I had already rubbed the meat with a new rub product three days ago to give it time to work on the roast. I also put 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce and 1 tablespoon of vinegar in the bag that I stored the meat in.

This knife has had heavy professional use for many years teaching bushcraft and accompanying me on countless expeditions. Over time it has developed a certain patina, but it has been looked after properly and it still remains one of my most regularly used knives.

Take care when removing and especially when replacing the knife in the sheath. 2) NEVER use the cutting edge to strike the firesteel (always use the back of the knife). 3) Only use your knife to cut relatively soft materials such as carving wood, dressing game, cutting string and plant materials etc. 4) Keep the blade clean and dry when in the field, and lightly oiled when not in use (my preference is camilia oil).
