Grilling a Steak
Posted on 11/15/19 at 5:46 pm
Posted on 11/15/19 at 5:46 pm
I’m in search of learning how to get the perfect char on a steak but keep the middle, rare to medium rare.
I’ve failed too many times at this now and in search of the OT’s help.
Current setup is a Primo large oval with a cast iron grate. I work the charcoal grill up to about 4-500 degrees and throw the steaks on. Either I overcook it trying to get the perfect char or get the middle just right without getting a satisfactory char.
What am I doing wrong??

So easy..
Lots of salt and pepper, very hot grill.
4 minutes, turn, 4 minutes, done

Get it to about 120-125 in the oven while you get your grill as hot as possible. Once you get the steak to 120-125, go throw it on the grill for like a minute and a half at the most on each side.

Since you have a low temp get some weights to put on them. That'll help but not completely solve your problem.

IMO to do what you're wanting to do, you need alot higher temperature to char the outer layer without cooking the center, then finish the center on low heat, or vice versa.
If the grill can't reach the temperature needed just cook it on as high a heat as possible for as low a time as necessary to reach a safe internal temperature.
Eta: the food board would probably be helpful

Good quality meat, salt/pepper, sous vide and an Otto Wilde. As good as any steakhouse.

Use ghee butter...something with a high burn temp.
Get the pan as hot as you can get it.
Let it sit out and get to room temp, then pat dry.
Salt right before you put on, don't pepper...as pepper will burn.
Sear on both sides for a minute or so, then flip each minute so you don't burn one side.
Should only take about 6-8 minutes to cook depending on how you like your steak.
Take some ghee and drop a tablespoon in at about 4.5 minutes, then tilt the pan and use a big spoon to ladle the melted butter on top until done cooking.
frick letting it sit for too long...a lot of things out recently that say letting it sit is bullshite in regards to how juicy it will be, so dive the frick right in when it's done.

Unless I'm misinterpreting your post, this is a terrible idea. Using a grill press will only cause the inside to cook faster. It's akin to the backyard griller who keeps using the spatula to squish the burgers on the grill pushing out all the juices.

Dry the meat before putting it on. Wet meat = no crust

Yea I was wondering if I wasn’t getting it hot enough. I’ll increase the charcoal next time to get it hotter.

Sous Vide that steak to 120 degrees for perfect medium rare before throwing it on a hot charcoal grill for about four minutes a side.
Take steak out of the sous Vide, pat dry, rub with mayonnaise then be sure to use lots of salt/pepper on the steak before grilling. Trust me on this.
*dammit CE Tiger! You beat me to the mayo rub

Throw that chose in a bag and sous vide it to 129 degrees, get your cast iron skillet hot and put a bit of high smoke temp oil in there (I use safflower), sear it on both sides for a couple minutes, lower your temp to med/low and throw some butter in there along with a couple crushed garlic cloves and a spring or 2 of rosemary and baste the steak with the melted butter for a bit.

I dont put mine in the oven but I do let them kind of get to room temperature before throwing on the grill.
I mix some melted butter with Cajun Blast Steak seasoning. Set my gas grill on as high as it goes and slather the butter on the steaks causing flames ups.

Cook steak on grill or oven at 300 degrees until it’s 120-125 in the middle
Put cast iron on crawfish or banjo burner until red hot
But steak for 10 seconds each side(that’s all it takes)
Profit

For 1” or so steak, grill around 4-425:
4 mins on side 1
3 mins on side 2
Rest for 5 minutes (no butter or tent - I put mine in the microwave and shut the door)
Medium rare
