How to turn steak into shoe leather

[Spinaker]

Looks like you have plenty of solid advise above but here is my tongue & cheek recommendation...........Run it over a few times in the driveway, leave it in the sun, then grill it on high heat

That’s why they pay me the big bucks! 💰💰 smokin fool

And then my dogs would scarf every scrap and lick the concrete clean. Problem solved without even dirtying the grill!

Sorta solves the seasoning thing too, small rocks and sand look like course salt n pepper....harder on the teeth though

I have never grilled a steak for the MIL as she prefers everything to be mostly cremated. When she comes over for burgers & dogs, she usually has me drop one directly on the coals to make sure it gets done properly. To each their own, I guess.

Do you have a sous vide?

I have a sous vide, and LOVE steaks cooked in the beer cooler. Wanted to try something different, and it was a HIT. She thought it was one of the best steaks she ever had. Unfortunately, through no fault of her desire for shoe leather, the rest of the steaks were over cooked. Even with the smoker at approx 200°F, the steaks went from 95 to 125 in literally seconds. Throwing the steaks on the grill to sear, left them on there too long. Remarkably juicy and tasty, in spite of being overcooked. A LOT of sort of homemade wine was drunk, and the one man band playing at the campground pool, made for a perfect evening.
