I thawed two strip steaks and I was thinking what to do with them. I caught this article just at the right time:
http://amazingribs.com/recipes/beef/extreme_steak.html

Took the skewers and the chimney and went for it:

too bad my chimney isn't big enough for the two pieces:

Had to put them one at a time

Agreed. That is simply raw meat which has undergone a shallow searing to the outside.

I'd hit it........

I would hit that I have done great steaks cooking them directly on the lump charcoal

What are you talking about... There's medium near the crust and rear in the middle. :grin:

Looks good to me. Next time try putting the cooking grate of your charcoal grill on top of the chimney. You'll get grill marks and won't lose juices because of the skewers that way.

You are thinking of Carpaccio. Tartar is chopped or ground. Both delicious when prepared correct.

When cooking a steak I need it med-rare. Rare is simply too chewy for my taste. Another 5-10 degrees would tenderize that thing perfectly.

I would also suggest putting the grill grate on top of the chimney. Much easier.

This is the perfect way to sear tuna steaks. Saw Alton Brown do that decades ago.

Thanks T.Mac and Cook. I have seared using a grate before.
Wanted to try something different. Amazingribs.com is always against sear marks caused by grates for some reason.

A good steak is best when there's a chance it could run away
Looks good to me

Sear marks are the result of too much heat, in the opinion of Amazing Ribs. They occur after the meat has reached it's optimum "crusting" (the Maillard reaction) and has entered the "burned charcoal" phase.

That's why they call themselves Amazing Ribs...and not Amazing Steak

If I remember correctly, amazing ribs is against sear marks because there's minimal maillard, reaction. They prefer the entire surface to be browned/seared. You can easily do that on a grate by moving or flipping the steak repeatedly.

I think you're right.
Using the skewers is another method for even Maillard efect.
As there nothing touching the meat's surface, every part gets the same amount of heat. That way the browning occurs all over at the same time.
It's not a novel concept. By flipping the meat I was essentially doing the same thing a rotisserie does. Only close to the heat source and turning fast.
This also slowed down the browning, because the grates would have seared the meat faster even if I'd moved the steak around.
And that was a good thing. Otherwise I wouldn't even get it warm in the middle... :wink:
