    First REAL cook on the Weber Kettle.

    I did the burgers the other day just to get a feel for the unit, and because it is National Burger Month and hamburgers are my number one most favorite thing to make and eat. But today, today it got real.

    Dry aged prime ribeye, 2" thick, about 1.25 lbs. I salted and peppered, and set up the kettle for reverse sear. Here is the steak about halfway through the slow:



    The fast part, things were moving kind of quickly and I didn't get a snap. I'm not familiar with the kettle yet, so I overshot my target by a couple degrees, I wanted 130 but I hit about 135:



    The sides are grilled corn with tarragon butter and Caprese tomatoes. I did the corn on the BGE. The presentation sucks, but I don't care. I did the whole cook in the rain, and when it stopped we wanted to dine. The photography took a back seat.




    Hitting that "magic wand" on the edit screen takes about 5* off the temp, but trust me, it was between medium rare and medium. Taste and texture were top notch though! Beverage was an IPA from Oskar Blues, a nice brew.

    Nice! That looks like a very successful cook.

        Looks great! But make my beverage a good single-malt, please (hint: Glenmorangie),

          Ever tried Balvenie? Fond of DoubleWood 12 year myself ...

            I have an unopened bottle of the DoubleWood in the vault! About to sip a dram of the Glenlivet 15 French Oak. It's a nice delicate whisky fitting for a summer (almost) dram. Just killed a 10 yr Ardbeg a couple of weeks ago.

            I was given a bottle of the 21 port wood finish by a professional colleague. I'm a bourbon guy but that Balvenie could almost make me into a scotch drinker if I could afford to keep out stocked. It's a seriously awesome dram.

            My brother gave me a bottle of the 21 port wood for my 40th birthday.

          That is great internal temp. I have cooked worse! Nice job!

            Mosca, Tom, Excellant on the Steak! I think you are going to like your Weber and S 'n S more as time goes on! I also think You Could Cook a Seared Med. Rare Steak with a Fork and Three Farmers Matches!
