I heard something about Friday being steak night. Maybe it's just a rumor.


Tonight's cook was on my trusty weber platinum. It's the cart that predates the performer. For fuel tonight I went with a blend of used kingsford and partially burnt cowboy lump. Both were previously wet. I banked the coals with a charcoal basket and threw 2 starter cubes in the mix. I'm not sure why but it didn't really do the trick so I had to bust out the weed burner. A nice CAB boneless ribeye from meijers and some questionably old asparagus, no carbs for this guy.....well except for the lagunitas



I seared the asparagus and the steak lid off to my liking. Careful kids, asparagus on the grill can take some advanced skills. Protip: place the asparagus perpendicular to the grill lines :thumb::wink: These supermarkets steaks almost done after the sear. A finger poke and a thermapen test (the platinum table is handy here) to determine if it needs any more cooking and I throw it on the cool side with the lid on to finish, this is usually 1-3 min.



Great color. Q-salt does it again. I've been impressed with this salt and pepper blend. I bought a large bag when I was ordering some harvest brine. It's been really versatile, does well on all meats and works grilled and smoked. It stands alone and pairs well with traditional bbq rubs.....and it makes for a hell of a steak.



Tonight's steak was cook to a perfect temperature. Just close your eyes and imagine it, that lovely color
Mmmmm
 
Fine dining!! Awesome cook, photos and narrative!!
 
Really nice! Can't beat that for a Friday night meal.

Tell me more about this asparagus strategy of yours? That could be a stand alone tutorial.

Steak looks like a winner!
 
Steak nite here last night also. Wife picked up some nice ribeyes from the HEB near her work, cooked a few stuffed jalapenos also, sorry no pics

Great looking steak and interesting choice of charcoal. Any reason you chose to use previously wet coals? Is that what the kids are doing these days?
 
Fine looking supper!
I can imagine it, I'm guessing medium rare?

It's like a good book. The movie never lives up to the mental image

I had a bucket with the wet charcoal blend from the other day when it rained and my cookers weren't covered. I had a large bag of fresh cowboy lump in the garage but I'm still on weight lifting restrictions so I opted for the lighter bucket of used. I was hoping the starter cubes would do the job so I didn't have to pick up the propane tank, luckily its almost empty.
 
Plate looks great Steve... Has Bruno started smoking again? :p

He prefers the offset so he can eat any loose embers that fall out the firebox door. The Tom cat is the griller. I share a few bites of steak with him.



Edit: I'm guessing you meant the ashtray.:doh:
