Default The Biggest Steak I Ever Done Saw

Holy Palomino, did I do something stupid for Valentines Day! (stupid because I'm gravely under-employed). I bought the BIGGEST steak I've ever seen! A 4lb, 3" thick T-Bone...





Shocked! Shocked I tell you!

Grilled it on my Big Green Egg Florentine style with sauteed spinach and garlic roasted potatoes.









Grilled it on my Big Green Egg. Temp 500; 10 minutes a side over direct, then scooched it over to the side for another 5 minutes. came off the grill @ 130 degrees and rested 10 minutes. (I took pictures with a flash so the color looks washed out. It came out medium rare)

Worth every dime, but it'll be a long time before I can break open the piggy bank again for that. Pure D decadence.

Prep: I completely coated both sides in salt and put in the fridge for several hours. An hour before I put it on the grill, I took it out, wiped all the salt off and patted it dry. Then I pressed a good coating of the rub* on and let it sit on the counter. Right before it went on the grill, I coated both sides with olive oil.

*Rub...
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme
1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh sage
2 Tbsp coarse kosher salt
2 Tbsp coarse ground black pepper


This steak was my magnum opus.

What's with the knife and fork? That's a caveman meal pure and simple.

At what point does a steak turn into a roast? That looks delicious.

I also want to add that all three recipes (steak, spinach & potatoes) came from Mario Batali's Molto Italiano. The recipes rock.

Steak & spinach recipe...
http://www.foodnetworkfans.com/forum...can-steak.html

Potato recipe. The idea of blanching the potatoes first is a neat trick that crisps up the outside...
