Caveman Caviar by Bearded Butcher

The Bearded Butcher boys created “Caveman Caviar” as a unique twist on the popular side dish “Cowboy Caviar.” The only difference is, Cowboy Caviar doesn’t have meat (gasp!), so they decided to upgrade it. You can do the same by adding different vegetables to give it a seasonal holiday twist. The Bearded Butcher boys like to make it by cutting a Caveman Steak. It’s the biggest steak from a cow. You can watch how much effort goes into slicing something that big out of a cow below. It weighed more than 10 lbs. That’s a lot of Caveman Caviar!

Caveman Caviar Cooking Instructions:

Fire up your grill and set the temperature to 550F with the lid closed

Season the skirt steak with Bearded Butcher Black Seasoning (or your favorite BBQ rub) and let it work into the meat for at least 15 minutes or more.

Sear each side of the steak for 6 to 8 minutes or until you can get several internal temperature readings at 130F

Pull the steak and let it cool for 10 minutes before chopping it into 1/4 cubes or pieces

You can use skirt steak, tenderloin, top round, basically any steak meat that can be cubed into small pieces before mixing it into the Caveman Caviar

Combine all drained and diced vegetables in a large bowl and mix

Fold the chopped steak pieces into the vegetables and mix

Pour the Caveman Dressing over the Caviar mixture and toss to coat evenly

Serve immediately or chill for later

Caveman Caviar goes great with unseasoned corn chips, pita chips, melba toast (or just eat it with your hands, just like cavemen did it)!
