Title: steaks on charcoal
Post by: Jake on May 01, 2012, 09:45:37 PM
One of the guys here in Ohio invited me for dinner tonight. His entire family loves to grill, and I was in for a treat. His daughter made mini pizzas on the gas grill - awesome appetizer. His son made mixed veggies and bacon wrapped filets. I like some fat on my steak, but this was by far the best filet mignon I have ever had. It was perfectly seasoned - but it was the smoke that really kicked it up a notch. I've never had steaks done quite this way. He was using good quality hardwood charcoal. He got the temp to about 650, made a nice charcoal bed and placed the steak right on the coals! about a minute and a half on each side, and then about 5 more minutes on a high grate.

THEY WERE AWESOME. SOOOOO SMOKY.

additional plus is that he brews his own beer and has it on tap - yes.

Anyone who brews their own beer AND has a kegging setup knows how to make a good steak.

I really want to drop the $$ on a kegging system
