Caveman Steak on Charcoal

[smoketrailsteve]

Grilling up a caveman steak on natural lump charcoal. All I used was a few bricks, a roasting pan and natural lump coals.

Anyone else ever done this?

Alton Brown has a good eats episode on fajitas, and he cooks the steak that way . I get the idea, , just not for me .

Reminds me of survival training.......if you take away the steak, aluminum pan, newspaper, Pringles can, vegetable oil, salt, deer antlers, and lump charcoal. Lots of clubs available though!

When I was a kid in my 20's I worked on an asphalt crew. repaving driveways, parking lots & streets.
For lunch we would all bring some kind of dish that was wrapped up in aluminum foil. My favorite was hamburger, onions, peppers & provolone cheese. Around lunch time we would bury the foil packs in the hot asphalt & in about 30 minutes we would be eating some good food. Those are the days that I still remember, crazy, huh!

Alright, since we're talking about the old days:

When I was a Kid (LONG Long Time ago), The oldest 3 of us kids would go Camping with our parents.
We'd have a big wood fire going, and cut sticks to hold hot dogs over the fire.
If your hot dog fell in the fire & got ashes all over it, you had to eat it anyway.
I didn't care for that kind of seasoning, so I would not make my Steaks that way.

Al, we did the same thing when I was a construction rigger in the Houston refineries back in the 70s, only we put our foil wrapped lunches directly on the manifold of the crane's diesel engine. Also heated up cans of sardines that way, especially liked the ones with mustard sauce. Guess you'd call that post-modern day caveman cooking :D

This is the better "caveman" approach, just requires a charcoal chimney instead of a foil pan.....

A little ball of C4 works better than any of these strange ways.

I find C4 is better at tenderizing than cooking.

Nah---A little ball will burn a beautiful slow Blue Flame for a long time.
Just don't stomp on it to put it out!!

Before we took microwaves on the job site , we used to use a cardboard box with a 500 watt halogen light and some r-19 thrown over the top . worked for re-heating left overs .
