You can adapt this to your own cooker. I used the BGE. It would have worked just as well on the Weber, but I was using that to grill zucchini.
It all started when I found a damn nice steak. I wasn’t planning on having steak, but sometimes you have to listen when a steak calls you. "That IS a nice steak, Mosca. Can I ask, how much was it?" No, you can’t. Well, you can, but I ain’t sayin’. The package said 3/4-1â€, but this is more like 1 1/2â€.
​​​​​​​
About 3 hours ahead of time I dried it off and applied Montreal seasoning. When it was time to start cooking, I took the BGE to 225* and put the deflector plate in.
​​​It took about half an hour for the steak to hit 110*.
But it only took about 5 minutes for the BGE to reach 700 at the dome...
And who knows how hot at the lower grate:
And we will take a moment to look in awe at the miracle of meat and fire.
And, NAILED IT.
Perfect. Charred on the outside, medium rare on the inside, no gray at all. Thermapen read 129* at the center.
Sides! Corn, obvsly. Mushrooms and onions, those are required with steak in Chez Mosca. And, zucchini grilled with Italian dressing and basil. Just brush it on and keep turning.
Thanks for indulging me. I’m pleased as Punch with this one.
