Seared Sirloin Steak, Grilled Pineapple, & Griddle Fries (Heavy Q-View)

[tx smoker]

Nothing spectacular but it sure was good. The original plan was to do the fries in the 360 but the weather was just too beautiful to be in the house. The griddle was already set up so decided to cook the fries on that. Had not planned to do the pineapple but when I went to get the taters out of the fridge I saw it in there and decided is was a must-do. Something about slightly charred pineapple is just fantastic and it goes really well with pretty much any beef product.

Cut up some taters for fries. Seasoned with garlic EVOO, spicy pepper vinegar, and SPOG

Done and in the house for the steak to get happy

Steak nicely cooked. Beautiful pink/red center and super juicy

Monet shot. All the goodies plated with a nice salad

Overall a really good meal. Steak was tender enough that you didn't need a knife to cut it and the flavor of the On Point rub is fantastic. I'm not much into using commercially produced spice mixes but this is the exception. It is REALLY good stuff and you can tell somebody put a lot of time into developing the perfect balance of flavors. This is the first time doing fries on the griddle and it took longer than anticipated. I was just a bit too careful with them not knowing what to expect. Next time I'll run the heat up and get them done in half the time. Loved the char on them along with the buttery soft center though. A nice salad is pretty much a a staple around here, especially in the warmer times, it's just nice to have a cool element with the meal. If I hadn't spent too much time hanging out in the pool chatting with Tracy I may have had time to do something a little more over-the-top but we didn't need it. She's been cooped up in the house for over two moths working from home and just needed some outdoor time. No way was I going to deprive her of that. This dinner was just fine. Got weather coming in today so I might make something that's a bit more involved...but then again I may just toss some hot dogs on the grill later

Thank you once again for dropping in,
Robert

Nice meal robert. Hadn't thought about fries on the Blackstone yet but why not

Great meal Robert! All looks perfectly cooked. We try to have steak once a week. Never had the pineapple with it, but love that! Gonna try it next week.
Thanks for the pics. Big like!

Fantastic as always Robert! I'm getting real anxious to get my new toy!

Try your fries in bacon grease next time. Takes them from mediocre to phenomenal. I mean who doesn’t like some bacon loaded fries. Y’all gotta start keeping your bacon grease. Put it in a mason jar in the refrigerator. PM me if you need anymore flat top tips. If I don’t respond right away be patient unfortunately I’m a busy guy.

Here’s a few pics of the goodness

Steak and pineapple is a unique combination, but it works. When I lived at home (no, I’m really not an 11 yo), my parents would make skewers that had steak, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and pineapple. They were always really good.

I’m with you on trying to make my own rubs. Much cheaper in the long run.

They are awesome. Waffle fries take it to a new level

Looks great but next time slice the pineapple up and put in a zip lock bag with the steaks for 4-6 hrs , it will tenderize and flavor them ,

I don’t remember the last time I bought rub. We should do a rub exchange. Pm your address if interested.

Great looking meal Robert! Steak done to perfection. You guys sure are making it hard to not want or think I need a flat top!

Delicious looking meal there Robert. The sliced tators i did on the griddle the other day where really good. They had that homemade fresh deep fried flavor. If they took longer than anticipated, throw them in the microwave for a minute or two before cooking them on the griddle.

Grilled pineapple is a great addition to beef and also pork. That plate hits the spot.

We did the same when I was younger. The steak was usually cubed up and marinated with a McCormick steak seasoning packet But there was pineapple, mushrooms, onion and bell pepper.
