Question for the Oakridge users...

Anybody ever use Carne Crosta to cook a Steak or burger on a flat top?
Will it caramelize correctly or does it require the open flame?

It will work but not the best. You need the open flame to react with the coffee to create the crust the best way.

Kinda what I though, but I’ve got a new Blackstone coming so I’m exploring new ideas.

But that’s fine, my Weber performer ain’t going anywhere...

Thanks for the input.

It's all about heat management if you ask me

Ribeye cap steaks. A little different approach but still on a flat top

Carne Crosta on the right for a sear first in the Blackstone oven

Then indirect on the kettle

Key to Carne Crosta is to release the oils in the coffee granules. Release and not burn

Ive cooked many many many ribeyes rubbed in Carne Crosta in a cast iron pan on the stove (electric cooktop too)...crust as black as my heart. :becky: As ssv3 said, all aboit that [high] heat management.

We just did a tomahawk with carne crosta. Reverse seared.then seared on around 500 degree grill grates for a minute each side. Seemed to taste right. Not a crumb left and my dog is chewing the bone. Carne crosta is great on a burger with the flat top.

Carne Crosta is used and approved by Old Oom-poppa-mow-mow himself!

Can't say for a Blackstone (yet..hint hint), but it worked on a comal:

Tenderloin (from the butt end), rubbed with Carne Crosta.
45 minutes at room temperature
8 minutes on comal (2/2/2/2)
5 minute rest.

This was the carne crosta tomahawk.

Did some Carne Crosta steaks in a skillet a few months back and they were amazing.
