Nicely done Schwartzie. I knew you had OT potential, but you are really stepping up your game here on the F & D board.

One suggestion, sweep the leaves off the patio brah. Beautiful pictorial presentation, but the leaves pissed me off for some reason. You are better than that!

About the only thing I learned is that those are the ugliest USDA Choice steaks I have ever seen.. That looks much more like select that someone may have slapped a Choice label on accidently. Also you never gave a quarter turn.. Presentation fail.

USDA choice. Nothing fancy. Get grass fed (not finished) if you can find it. I think those two beauties set me back a whopping $9.


I want to know where you shop.

Salt? Why do you put salt on the meat? If I'm cooking for others I leave it to those others to salt their own meat. Tolerance for salt is highly variable and that's why salt shakers were invented.

Also I sear 1 1/2" fillets 3 or 4 min per side and they are done (med rare). No need for finishing at lower temp.

Thanks for the pics. I might try your spargus method.

Diamond shaped grill, dog. Quarter turning is for poor people with grills that only run in one direction.

If you really have to ask why food should be seasoned during/before cooking, you're beneath me. I'll have to get my manservant to speak with you.

Looking at those steaks I really doubt thats USDA choice. The fat rib is thick and there is no real visable specs of fat. Looks like a prime example of USDA Select.

I know I just bought a whole ribeye for 80 dollars that was USDA choice and got 11 steaks out of it at 1.5 inches. Thats 7 dollars a steak. Now granted each steak is close to 16 ounces.

The marbling didn't show up well in the pics. They were great steaks.

Bitch, I will totally punch you in the face with my Louis Vuitton gloved fist.

Actually, on second though, I'll pay someone to do it. I don't want to get the saliva of the common folk on my precious leather.

Sorry didnt notice your grill pattern only that you had zero pattern on your finished steak. Looks like you fooled with it too much.

If your grill was hot enough and that steak didnt move around (which it shouldnt except to flip) you would have grill marks on the steak.

You want maximum heat for this


Right. That's why I use charcoal for a steak. It is much hotter. I use the chunks when roasting.

I would never quarter turn even if I didn't have a diamond shaped grill.

If there is one thing I would do that you didn't mention it would be to pat the steaks dry with a towel after they reach room temperature.

I just put them in the oven and broil them

I'm not convinced that using charcoal really adds to the quality of a steak.
