How to go from Pretty to Ugly to Absolutely Delicious in One Cook
« Reply #-1 on: December 04, 2013, 06:40:26 PM »
Dinner tonight was ribeye steaks, seasoned with Montreal Steak, crockpot green beans and shrooms that
were seasoned with Way Out West.

Shrooms hit the Performer first.  Burning RO lump with a chunk of oak.

Steaks starting to come up to room temperature.

Shrooms are done.

Steaks on direct.  Here is where they start to turn ugly! I got distracted and was only going to leave them direct
for a couple minutes on each side.  I ended up just cooking them direct the whole cook.  They went from pretty to
steak that was all puffed up in a real hurry.  I believe I should have brought them up to room temperature before
putting them on instead of rushing to get them on the grill as I got home late from work.

Steaks are done!

Plated with the crockpot green beans that my wife put on this morning.

They may have not been picture perfect steaks but they were really delicious.  Very tender, juicy and cooked to a
nice medium rare.  So I guess the moral of this crazy story is that you can’t judge a steak by its cooked look!  ;)

Thanks for looking!

I've never seen a ribeye that looks bad, and those look a lot better than that!

Looks good. Just ran to kitchen and pulled a ribeye out of the freezer and into the fridge for an overnight defrost.
Love to cook and eat
