Steak???

[hesse]

so its about that time of year in minnesota again at 40 degrees today

whats the best way to gas grill a rare/medium rare steak high heat short time or low heat longer


whats your tips or hints

 

[Trukker]

MMMMM Steak(Homer Simpson voice)Low to medium heat 5-7 mins per side

 

[brushwolf]

Higher heat. I turn mine 2 times on each side at 90 degree angles just cause I like the grill lines criss crossed. Weber grillmates steak seasoning works delicously. KC Masterpiece steak seasoning would be my second choice.

Grill a couple of Portabella shroom caps brushed with butter and seasoned with steak seasoning for a tasty side dish.

Another great side dish is Mr. Dees frozen hasbrown patties on the grill next to the steaks. I now that most of you probably think this is nuts but, try it and you will become a believer.

p.s. the steaks should be 3/4 to 1 inch thick max. or you are sure to have charcoal on the outside and blood in the center but then, maybe that works for some.

Famous Dave's steak seasoning, gas grill, 425-450 degree, spray no stick on the grates, 3/4 inch 5 minutes on side 1, 4 minutes on side two. done.

1 inch 6 minutes side 1, 5 minutes side 2.

Watch for flare ups on Rib-eyes.

and a fire. Flip it once, and check it with a thermometer, 140ish is a nice medium, 145 if you like a little less pink in the middle

Rule #1

NEVER-flip a Steak more than ONCE!
if u must cross-hatch, rotate while on the same side.
High Heat-3.5-4min a side for MedRare, anything over medium cooks good flavor out...

2nd that

I'll have to try the flip only once method and see what the results are. Nobody complains about how I do my steaks but if I can improve on that I certainly will.

Step 1. Shoot cow in face

step 2. Cut out part of his a$$

step 3. throw on fire

step 4. enjoy

just kidding but i agree wit only flipping it once

 

[Spud]

good one.

Sawyer, I almost forgot but before I shoot my steer in the face I'll give him a beer and rub his back with a BiG stick!

also setting a Steak out in room temperature seasoned & spiced for .5-1hr before cooking works best too...

by the way i have a nice used ducane for sale----cheap

March 14th is Steak and BJ day!

Depends on the steak and how i prep it.

Sirloin I will strip it, and marinade it. BBQ it very quickly on high heat, 20 seconds a side and eat.

New York or a Rib - Season, High heat, put on, cook for a little bit, fliip and eat. Hot on the outside, just warm in the middle. Objective to a hot grill is to sear all the juice from the meat inside, not dry it out.

Favorite to BBQ is a chuck roast. Take a choice chuck roast, bone in or out. Marinade. Put on a very hot grill. You have to watch this, due to flare ups. After 4-5 min, flip. Now sear that side and turn grill down. Use left over marinade to baste the side you just cooked. I know your not supposed to keep flipping it, but I usually do once I turn the bbq down in heat and keep basting that bad boy. The marinade usually carmalizes on the meat... Fantastic way to cook a chuck roast.

It can be -30 outside and I still grill. Winter shouldn't stop you.

My girlfriend likes her damn steaks extra well done. It drives me nuts because if there is just even the slightest of pink she won't eat it.

I like a medium well steak. My favorite is sprinkling Canadien Steak seasoning on one side put it on the grill and then do the other side.

 

[Sturgis Sledder]

I personally haven't noticed the difference in the one flip rule, but I do follow it, but the key is ROOM TEMP prior to cooking.

 

[milehighassassin]

Marinate/season how you like. I like to get the grill REALLY hot, then I sear the steak. The part where I am cooking I keep it low, then I keep the other half of the grill hot. When I flip it I flip to the hot side and sear that side as well. Medium rare, I hate over cooked steak.

Cooking slow is always better. You can make a tough piece of meat taste pretty good if you cook slow (grill or no grill) and marinate/season/condition/prep it properly.

Worcestershire sauce is where it is at!

 

[Jeff C]

I take a completely different approach than most of you.......

I preheat the grill to as hot as the sucker will go (Temp reads around 600F)

Put the steaks on, and immediately turn the heat down to low.......That sears the steak immediately......

Go 5 mins per side for rare/med rare


Everytime I use this method the steaks turn out perfect!!

I have a Holland grill......no worky for steak.

are you kiddin? my holland is the best grill i have ever owned for steaks! that sucker cooks it all man from whole lemon pepper salmon to apple pies...even totinos pizzas if im bored, just remember it utilizes indirect heat. marinate it, sear it in a very hot fry pan maybe 10-12 seconds/side then throw it on the grill for maybe 7 mins on one side and 3-4 mins on the other, for rare, takes a bit longer but you can cut that baby with your pinky finger...no thinner than 1" i cut all my steaks at least 1 1/4"
