Blackened steaks on the vortex with cast iron involved

[SMOKE FREAK]

Just a couple pics to show the Vortex can do more than just wings...

Placed some bricks around the V to rest my CI pan on...
Wanted some space between the pan and the afterburner temps of the Vortex...


Steaks are rubbed with my wife's "Crazed Cajun" rub and into the pan...
Pan is running in the 700 degree range...:thumb:



About 3 minutes per side and they are blackened just fine...
The air is unbreathable from the hot peppers in the rub...
That's why we cook em outside...


Cut open to see that they are nicely done to my liking...
Sorry for the crappy pic...
Rolls were warmed around the V while the steaks rested...


Thanks for looking...
This is just the tip of the iceberg...I got hundreds of vortex cook pictures that would make you all realize what a cooking machine it is...

Thanks Jeanie...
That much heat can be a bit rough on the CI but it seasons right back up...

I love to see true blackening. Not the blackening spices and cooked the traditional way. True blackening makes food black.

You nailed this one.

Beautiful!

Oh yeah nice steaks!!

Truer words besides what's above have never been spoken (written?).

Great looking steaks, man. That CI really seems to be the trick for good blackened proteins.

I'm sure momma's Crazed Cajun sure doesn't hurt the cause, neither.
