How to cook the perfect steak
Here's my favorite method for cooking the perfect steak on a Weber Kettle:
1. Buy 1" thick Rib eye Steaks. 2. Marinate the steaks in soy sauce for 30 minutes. 3. Discard the soy sauce and sprinkle both sides with Montreal Steak Seasoning. 4. Pound, don't rub the spice into the meat. 5. Light about a chimney of coals. 6. Pour the hot coals into a single layer on the charcoal grate of your kettle. 7. Put the top grate on and clean it with a BBQ brush. 8. Spray the grate with Pam or oil it with a paper towel held with tongs. 9. Slap those steaks on and cook them to an internal temp of 135F (about 5 minutes a side.) 10. Take them off and let them rest for a few minutes before you chow down. |

Quote:
Montreal Steak Seasoning is a very course grind of Salt and Pepper and other seasonings. When you say judges, do you mean in pro bbq competition? If you do, there is no steak category. Only the 4 traditional comp meats: 1. Pork Butt 2. Brisket 3. Chicken 4. Ribs However, most contests have side categories on the day before the main contest, which could definitely include steak. In this case it is judged by the same criteria as the comp meats: 1. Appearance. 2. Taste 3. Texture These things can vary from one sanctioning body to the next. |

Some fellow brethren have said that throwing some mesquite chunks onto the hot coals gives the steak some added flavor. Would mesquite work well with the soy sauce? or not really?
thanks

IMO steak doesn't need much if any smoke. Just a hot quick burn.

Looks good to me! Out here many steak houses (like there are many real steak houses) cook over a bed of Mesquite coals. Not smoking but grilling and if done right the flavor is excellent.

Rib eye, my favorite steak and as far as I'm concerned that one is just perfect.

+1 for the mesquite -- I recommend a handful of chips (assuming charcoal fire). It doesn't take much. You're not smoking them, just adding another dimension of flavor. I use mesquite pellets when I cook steaks on my Memphis and get rave reviews.
I like your approach, NWBBQ. I do very much the same thing except instead of the soy I use Worchestershire, red wine and a dash or two of EVOO.
