Well had to eat my words on the Grill2Go grill. Kimmie's mom wanted steaks for Sunday dinner and I said I would be happy to cook them :)
So she brings over two sirloin steaks and said here you go cook these up. Well I'm not much for sirloin steak I'm more of a rib eye guy but I said I would cook them and I did. I could use the SRG's because the grates were filthy from sitting up and I didn't want to pull the Rec-Tec out just for two little steaks, so I bit my tongue and pulled the G2G out for another try. The weather was nice very little breeze so I figured all is good for the cook. Somehow I should have known not to say I wouldn't use the G2G again
I fired it up and waited till the GrillGrates hit 500+ then I tossed there steak on and let it go just till about done then I tossed mine on (Kimmie was not eating) I cooked their's to a nice 190 IT ??? ??? ??? And mine was pulled at 130. Not bad but a rib eye it is not

I may just keep that little grill for now and try to fix the issue of going out, I'll post what I do
-
They sure look good to me. Sirloin happens to be my favorite steak!
-
Looks good from here.

Tommy do you remember discussing the g2g going out on the old CB forum, I rolled up a piece of foil and stick it where the handle is...about the size of a thumb..mine not yours, and it stopped the problem..It doesn't get enough air with the lid closed. I never had any problems since..just sayin .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I remember, I even cut a hole in the lid to vent the air when closing and even keep it open when cooking.
Thinking of adding a skirt to the low vent plate to see if that would work. I really want to keep the grill just tired of the fight

Wow you folks have a problem that I don't have ;) My favorite steak is Steak. Sirloin, T-bone, Rib eye, Cubed London broil. etc

Tom & Pam are we talking the same grill from CB This one is my version http://www.walmart.com/ip/Char-Broil-48-TRU-Infrared-Grill2Go-X200-Portable-Gas-Grill/26413645
If we are they have been having a few regulator problems & I am not sure they have fixed them to this day. But my unit was a one of the early units which burns hotter then the new units......I like that my beast is not tamed.
The hotter the better for those steaks, This grill Makes me not jump off a short building by not buying the Cook Air ??? ???
In fact my grates don't look like yours Tommy they are the IR ones Cb puts out
-
Wait I looked at your other post you have the one with legs the older version I guess. Well I love my grill without legs
-
Looks like they stopped making the Grill2Go I have.

The one you own is nothing like the one I have. Yours is the better camping model then the one I own.
Mine was called the Grill2Go Ice it came with matching coolers
look here. This one is the same model just different color

I just flip the little catch that holds the lid closed for transport up when using, it cracks the top just enough to prevent the problem. Unfortunately the legs failed sometime ago, so my ICE doesn't get much use anymore.

I've tried keeping the lid open in front ... I didn't use foil, but a piece of wood about the size of a thumb. No dice, still went out.
These things should have been recalled ... they are a serious safety hazard.

Steaks look good Tommy. When we do sirloins, I jaccard the heck out of them and cook to med-rare...........but......nothing is like a rib-eye :P

Or two of them ;) ;) ;)

when you cooked those sirloins, did you close the lid? If so, how long did you cook with the lid up and with the lid down on the G2GICE

Lid down 15 mins to pre-heat GrillGrate toss 1st steak on lid down and cook for 10 mins first side then flip. Wife likes her steaks ruined :P
Toss my steak on lid down for a few mins then flip lid back down til mine is done (wife's still on) ??? lid down for a few more mins then pull hers off
I rarely cook lid open on any coke to be honest

so tonight I made a really good strip steak ... here's what I did differently:
1) Jaccarded the steak and marinated in a baking dish with a little bit of vegetable oil, soy sauce, and Montreal Seasoning (McCormicks) for about 6 hours in the fridge
2) Preheated the Grill2Go-ICE for about 15 minutes
3) about 5 minutes before placing on the grill I very lightly sprinkled some Adolph's unseasoned meat tenderizer. When I say a little, I mean just a very small application, not enough to cover the steak (on one side only)
4) It's about 40* out there, so I cooked on HIGH for about 6-7 minutes per side with the lid closed on the G2G
I thought it might come out too salty, but it didn't, and was very very tender and tasty. And it didn't have that mushy texture that sometimes you get with a powdered tenderizer.
I've never used the Montreal Seasoning before, but it was very nice.
I usually use CHAR CRUST ORIGINAL HICKORY GRILL and next time I will add some in to see how they go together.
