Title: A really good steak, getting there.
Post by: LostArrow on January 11, 2014, 09:50:59 AM
My goal for the steak is a seared crust , a rare interior , & a good smoked flavor!
For the potato, salty crisp skin & overcooked almost caramelized interior
Zero hour potato soiled & seasoned with Lawry's into oven @ 450F ( foiled)
Steak seasoned with salt , pepper & garlic , & sprayed with Pam. Into freezer for about 45 min.
Light charcoal fire ,add couple small wood chunks & put very chilled steak away from fire for 20-30 min.
Sear steak directly over fire for about 4 min / side , rest & serve!

That steak looks mighty good!!

Wish I could have see the potato(e)...caramelized interior doesn't come to my mind.  Is it a very well done potato or just cooked a different way? Our's usually come out of the foil fork tender and ready to mix with butter & sour cream, etc.

You sure have a way with that charcoal grill!!  I hope to get there one day.

It's overcooked, it causes some of the starch to breakdown & give a little sweetness to the taste, similar to caramolized .

I don't see any grill marks.....did you cook it in a pan on the grill. The results are very impressive!

The sear in done over a hot fire close to the coals, the entire surface sears not just what's lying on the grates.
