Steak???

[Snowizard]

All good pointers, I didn't see anyone post about using wood chips in a smoker box in the grill. Assuming a gas grill here.
I bought a metal box made for this purpose from the BBQ aisle at Wally World (or was it Home Depot?) It measures roughly 4"x7"x2" deep.
Anyhow it fits under the grate, and on top of the burner. It has a perforated metal cover.
I soak maybe 2 cups full of hickory chips in water in a separate bowl for about 5-10 minutes,first.
Fix yourself an adult beverage.
Then put chips in the smoker box. Fire up grill on high until smoke begins to come from the box.

Now it's time to put steaks on the grill. Cook as you normally do. Makes an excellent flavored steak.Not too strong, more like a charcoal grill.
Otherwise a gas grill leaves things kind of bland, IMO.

I've also tried different chips. Cherry, Apple, Mesquite, Alder.

Works for chicken and fish too.

I use a smoker box like snowizard. It helps makes the food taste better, more like an open fire or charcoal (without the extra effort). As far as how I cook a steak I turn the grill on high and get it good and hot, I then throw the steaks on after about an hour of marinating them with nature seasoning. After throwing the steaks on I turn the grill down to 3/4. I first cook with the lid closed, I finish with the grill lid open. I have learned if you can use higher heat, but try to cook slow it really helps with the flavor (the reason why I keep the lid open toward the end).

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 am with ya on that Jeff, Seares that flavor right in!

Making me VERY hungry for steak too!!! I like mine seared on both sides, then cooked a bit. I'm more of a rare/medium rare type gal.

I love summer at camp.....that's about all I eat. Nothing like a good rib-eye (sometimes new york's) cooked over the fire (oh yeah, and a baked tater cooked in the coals). Mmmmmmmmm good!!

That's just because you're getting darn hungry, probably had a liquid lunch, and you want food NOW!

It is pretty tasty that way!

Highest heat setting. 2-3 minutes, then, turn 90 degrees. 2-3 minutes again, and flip, then, repeat the 90 degree turn. I use salt, garlic powder, seasoning salt, and fresh ground pepper. Works like a charm. Near the end, I sear some good old fashioned Bull's Eye on there.... Dangit, now i'm hungry.

If you are grilling just for you that works great but if you are grilling for say 5-6 people they all have different likes. I have found most women like them pink to done all the way... I like mine medium/rare so I always make sure mine is still frozen in the middle. Cook all the steaks the same time and bam, mine is perfect all the rest get the charcoal briquette's.
