I compete in the Steak Cookoff Association and KCBS. KCBS is too expensive as it’s a $1200 investment in the protein alone if you want any chance at walking each time, but the SCA is much more affordable. Been to the world championship the past 2 years and will be at Fort Worth in March for my 3rd time at worlds competing.

But in the spirit of this thread, my favorite at home recipe to cook is a spicy style alfredo sauce.

1/2# of pancetta diced and fried in the pan (bacon is a fine alternative)

Remove the pancetta, but leave the oil
1/2 a white onion, finally diced
8-12 cherry peppers chopped
2 cloves garlic

Add the onions and cherry peppers to the pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes over medium heat
Add crushed/diced garlic and continue to cook for 30-50 seconds until aromatic hits you.

Turn heat to low

Add 1/2 pint of heavy whipping cream and mix until everything is well blended
Add 4-6 ounces of Parmesan slowly while stirring until desired consistency is achieved. 
Add cooked pancetta back into the mixture
Pepper to taste

Add cooked pasta (I’m obsessed with bucatini at the moment) and a few ounces of the pasta water into the sauce and stir until we’ll mixed and coated

One of the best pasta dishes I’ve had anywhere
