How long do let your steak sit out before it hits the grill?
Posted by thadcastle on 9/3/20 at 8:42 am110
When cooking on BGE at 700 for a steak I feel like it is crucial that the steak reaches room temp. I have done steaks twice in the past week and increased time I set them out prior to hitting grill on the second time. I was at about 45 minutes the second time around. My problem is the steak is charring too much on the grill prior to reaching rare temp internally. Is this because they aren't reaching room temp internally prior to cooking or is something else causing this?

There's no benefit to bringing them to room temp. Alton Brown did a Good Eats episode about it. He recommends seasoning the steaks and putting them in the fridge, uncovered, for 30-45 minutes before cooking.

2-3 hours. I dont time it, I just have in my head that I need to take them out close to 4pm that evening.

My steaks sit in hot water at 135 degrees for 2.5 hours before hitting the grill for one minute on each side.

You need to either sous vide, reverse sear, or let it sit out much longer than 45 minutes then toss on the egg.
or
Finish it in a hot oven when you have the color and sear you want before it starts to char.

This depends entirely upon how hungry my wife is when she walks in the door with the steaks from the grocery store.

I'll usually salt it then let it sit uncovered in fridge for about an hour. Pat it dry and apply fresh ground black pepper it, then sear it.

Also...salt it at least 4 hrs before cooking.

How ever long it takes for all the salt I put on top of it to be dissolved. 45-60 minutes usually.

Found your problem. 550 is my grill temp for medium rare. about 4-5 minutes total, on each side then pull, depending on the steak. A thick cut filet and 5 minutes on each side or so is perfect

Not exactly. Read an article last week about salting steaks. Salt your steaks 0-3 minutes before, or at least 45 minutes before putting on the grill. 3-45 minute zone is a "no go" for some reason i don't remember.

Over done for us, I sous vide at 123 and have been searing in a cast iron pan with butter, garlic cloves and rosemary sprigs until i get a good crust on it. I have gone lower on the temp based on the sear we want and the time it takes to get it on the steak. 123 gets me a good sear in the pan and a med rare steak when done.

I put a grate over my chimney starter and get it ripping out. One minute on each side gets me the sear I need very fast.

Pat dry, salt, let sit at least 30 minutes (45 minutes is my preferred), pat dry again, salt and pepper, then cook.
Perfect char that way.
