Overdone, but still goooooood!!!

[gmc2003]

Well, I finally had a day off, and the weather wasn't to bad. So I decided to consume a few PBR antibiotics and cook up some steaks. This is a simple cook using the SnS and 26er.

First up season the steaks with some SnP:

Then fire up the charcoal starter: Notice the smoke I remember reading a recent post mentioning the amount of smoke produced. This is normal for me.

The beer pole is back in action:

The coals are hot, hot hot:

Another recent post talked about grill brushes. This is mine. It's a couple three years old:

Steaks on:

...and the flip once the meat freely gives up:

The sliced shot: about 5* above what I was shooting for - total bummer

Fully plated: Overdone steak, locally grown sweet corn and potato/egg salad. Dinner was good despite my mistakes.

Thanks for taking a looksie.

That looks like a great plate to me! I’d happily take one

Over Done! For my taste...they look perfect.

You did not miss by much. That some good looking chow. I love corn on the cob. Your yard looks amazing!

 

[Displaced Texan]

Those look terrible. Send them to me to get them off your hands lol.

Looks great Chris. I used to be hung up on "perfect doneness" with steaks. Honestly they all taste wonderful lol. Yours is close to perfection for me

Man, I’d tear that up Chris. 5* one way or another won’t bother my tape worm. Nice solid meal. Me likey

 

[pineywoods]

That looks mighty good to me nice job

 

[yankee2bbq]

YEAP! They look great to me!
Nice combo on the sides.
You do have a big back yard!

Chris those look medium rare to medium to medium to me. I’ll bet they were very good. I’d sure devour them.

So throw them on a little longer for me

Thanks ps : glad the beer pole is not just a shadow of it self

Chris , nice cook bud . That plate is a perfect combo . I'd be all over all of it .

Nice point on the " flip when it released " comment . To many don't understand the difference between stuck and not ready .

Steaks look terrible, beer post looks phenomenal. Ha ha. . . just kidding. I would be all over that steak.

 

[masssmoke]

looks really good. Question for you as I am thinking of getting a Weber Kettle- why put up the divider rather than just put the charcoal in the middle? You don't need an indirect zone I assume. Just curious. Maybe to concentrate the heat better?

Overdone? Not done enough partner! Looks great regardless!

 

[pushok2018]

Chris, are you serious?! I would have it at any time... Nice looking steak and a beautiful plate!

Almost all you mean, my roommate likes her Filet Mignon cooked to ultra super well done. A fatty cut like a RIb Eye or Porterhouse can be edible in a crysis when cooked to 170. Filet at 170's terribad.

Looks damn good brother, nothing wrong with that.

 

[motocrash]

Looks good to me, a little overdone but delicious just the same.
No need to beat yourself up, I'll take care of that

 

[Fueling Around]

Looks great to me.
I like my steak anywhere from medium to done.
Wife wants no pink so I usually get prime strip loin to keep it from drying out. (We don't eat steak very often.)

I just pile my lump in a corner for grilling. The SnS appears to push the fuel higher to grate level.

You have more grass than me this year. I haven't mowed since June.
