We drive out to Menifee to a new Aldi's that opened up. Just can't beat the prices and quality. I always give their cryovac packed meats a gander whenever we go. I had two beautiful rib-eyes in my hand that I could not put down. We were gonna pick up something to eat before the drive home and we decided to wait to get home to have a sammich and have the rib-eyes for supper........turned out to be a good decision
These were choice grade and marbled really nice. They got salt,pepper and garlic and onto the Akorn. I left the deflector plate in. I remember seeing a video where a guy did this on his Akorn so gave it a whirl. The steaks were started in the center and then moved to the edges of the grill where the deflector plate is notched in to let the heat and smoke rise. Came out great. Took just a little longer to cook, but we had no flare-ups and the steaks still got a nice char.
Wendy wrapped some asparagus up in bacon to put the final touches on a real good meal
Rocky tried to but his bid in for a morsel or two
during the cook, he came real close with this attempt
