You will end up getting unwanted drafts in the thing, which can easily start fires inside and mess with what you're cooking. You can compensate to some degree for a bent lid by closing off the top vent, but it's a pain in the ass. I end up replacing them at least every two years because of a bent lid issue.

Shit, is that really true? / Dayze's wife.

Good Cow + fire = good steak. It is not that hard.

A marinade can be useful in a cheaper cut of meat but isn’t necessary or desirable for a good one. I like some pepper and sea salt or Garlic salt but that is really about all you need.

Had an unnamed in-law ask if I had any BBQ sauce for the Filet mignon I had just cooked for him once. Ya can’t fix stupid.

I have 2 grills, gas and infra red, just can't seem to get the perfect streak.
Anyone have any tips?

cook them on low heat, not high. There is a secret to making good steaks, it's called...

SALT. SALT THE SHIT OUT OF THEM.

There, I just gave everyone a huge secret on cooking great steaks.

My ex wife used to do that shit. Loved steak, we'd go out to eat she'd order up a beautiful cut o meat and then she'd douse it with A1. I finally got smart and started grilling at home and buy her the cheap shit. Didn't know the difference.

that's how I do them, but over coals, not flame. If you cook a big thick steak over high heat, all you'll do is burn the crap out of the outside and leave the inside blood red. Vail says he likes them "medium". So, you can't cook a medium steak on high heat.

Thats exactly how you make a great cut of cow taste like a shoe

Low heat?

Broncos fans don't know how to be men.

I shouldn't be surprised.

I wouldn't do a good cut of meat over flame. Mines got to get a good sear on it.

Dammit, everyone grill a steak tonight and compare pics just to **** with vp.:evil:

You probably have to take into account where these guys live too. Probably shitty meat there.

for a "medium" cooked cut, yep. Much depends on the thickness of the cut too.

Tombstone RJ 09-23-2013 02:52 PM

OP says "grilled steaks" right? That's what I'm talking about, not oven cooked steaks.

Yeah, I had some steaks cut 2 inches thick on a side a couple of years ago - sonsabitches were not fun to cook at all. Apart from being requested at 2 inches, the butcher got a little overzealous on several and I ended up around 2.5 - 3 inches on those. They were essentially roasts at that point.

Direct heat for about 4 minutes/sd, off to indirect with the lid down for about 10 minutes thereafter. I hated doing it, but it was the only choice I had.

Sometimes the thickness of the steak makes the 'proper' method impossible, but not based on the dimensions he gave us.
