Caveman Steaks and Country Blues (Louis Collins)

This weekend I finished up the last of my Dexter steaks, cooked directly on hardwood coals. I enjoy cooking this way. And its mighty tasty too.
I'm getting more Dexter beef this week and first cook will be strip steaks on cast iron.
Video is from a previous cook. 2 min.

Pretty cool, I have never cooked steaks directly on the coals, but yours sure looks like they turned out excellent. Another one for the ToDo book!

It's a fun cook. But it takes a little longer than usual because the meat partially smothers the coals. Also, don't use briquettes; use either lump charcoal or coals from a hardwood fire. I like to use sirloin steaks, loin tip, or strip steaks.

I first had this in southern Illinois, and they called it a Buffalo trow. It may have originated from native Americans who would ignite a buffalo chip and then throw the meat on top. But I'll stick with wood, thank you very much.

I have been wanting to try this for a couple of years now.
