Well I didn't join the Chefs board for nothin!!

People bitching? On CP? You're not a rookie. Make a ****ing thread lol.

There's some good advice in here (I got active at post 271), but I'll give you the same warning I gave vailpass: There are some people in that thread masquerading as steak experts that don't have the foggiest **** what they're doing. My advice: Find the posters that have proven themselves to you. If I'm in that group, I'm honored. Thank you.

Some of the ignorance in that thread actually still pisses me off.

I would like to go through that thread with mod powers and like a 7th grade science teacher mark through the bullshit with a red Sharpie.

Not exactly boiled. I just made a filet mignon for Valentine's Day once, and I cooked in in cast iron first, then tossed in wine, butter and rosemary before transferring to broiler and he loved it. Said he never wants to go back to grilled. Doesn't like the dry outside. He also said, I made him fatter and now he's on a diet.

I usually just put a steak over a couple candles, three hours and it's the bestest thing you will ever put in your mouth.

I've got a whole cut up chicken soaking in buttermilk right now, gonna fry it up tomorrow night and put some garlic mashed potatoes (no gravy) next to it, as well as a veggie salad with tomato, cucumber and onion chopped up in a light vinaigrette.

After salting my steak and letting it sit, do I rinse it off before grilling?

I never do.

Are you doing that trick I've heard of that's like a quickie way to "age" a steak by putting very coarse salt all over it and letting it sit for a while?

If so, I've always wanted to try that and see what kind of difference it makes, let us know how it turns out.

It has been sitting for 2 hours. Right now I have it resting at room temp. I never salted a steak like this before. I salt, pepper and then grill right away.

According to Alton Brown searing a steak does not seal in juices.

Letting it rest

That's a beaut, bone in steaks are always the best.

Amazing. That smoked salt set it off.
