My steak dinner

after the 400, what did you turn it to?
just leave it for a while as the (cold) meat will cool off the enclosed grill and bring temp down quite a bit. when temp goes back to 400f, turn knob down a bit to keep it around 400f. the covered grill is no longer a grill but an outdoor oven as a "diffuser" is used for the rack. the diffuser or skillet keeps the flame away from directly burning the rack but also acts as a heating element. it evens out the heat at the bottom of the rack.
 
doc uses grill mat. my grill is dirty. have to scrub and brush before use. it’s all stainless steel and have been with me for over 26.9 years. for bone-in rib roast, must protect bottom with a “diffuser” or iron plate. i use a skillet. can do double duty of protecting bottom of rack from burning and catching fire as there are bones and lots of fat, and collecting the drippings. rack is also slow roasted for hours depending on weight. the grill pit works like an oven if cover is closed throughout. for bone-in ribeye steaks, preheat grill to 690f, leave steaks on one side without touching them for 3.45 minutes each side, then turn. not more than 6.9 minutes total. will cum out medium rare. must remove immediately and wrap with foil for another 6.9 minutes to keep juices in. just salt and pepper for seasoning. i use coarse salt and insert grain by grain sparingly into each steak.
Dirty grill got flavour. Just scrap it when finish. N when u start. The oil etc prevents rusting n when its heated just run it over with paper towel. N the older the barbie the better the flavour.

during preheat, the flames burn and clean the grill dry and high. that's when i scrub. and oil with soaked paper towel.
 
No grill lines than wat is the point?
Lol! Grill line is for show.

We found that it makes totally no difference to taste.

For the amount of work to clean the grill tray it is not worth the effort lah.

Maybe if I am hosting some VIP I will do the grill lines. Clean up is a lot of scrubbing. Sian.

I know how to flip it such that you get the criss cross pattern.

Yes that's true.

I had a cheap Charbroil grill when I first came to Canada in 2010. It has those cheap ceramic coated grill plates. Bought from XS Cargo which has gone bust for a few years now.

Would preheat then use wire scraper and scrape.

But as time goes on it starts to rust and all.

I got my Weber in 2014 after moving to Calgary. $1k plus grill. I decided to maintain it nicely this time lah.

So it is nice and clean. But to keep the stainless steel grills clean is actually not easy!

I also saw this today. Way too expensive for me lah.
 
meat at whole foods is usually more sexpensive than costco as they source from nearby ranches if grass-fed. if converted to usd and lb, costco's triple "a" ribeye is about us$11.8 per lb.
Too expensive for me.

Sometimes the price does come down.

I usually just go for top sirloin. My kids actually say they prefer top sirloin to rib eye.

Striploin sometimes can be around cad$19.99 per kg. Then I will get that. But rarely happens.

ribeye to some is very fatty with the marbling. tenderloin cut into filet mignon may be ok with them. lean yet tender.

I like the fat.

My kids dont like. Usually they give me the fat cuts.

My daughter still wearing braces and doesnt like eating steak cos of that.

Boys love steak.

So overall we havent been eating steak so much cos of eldest daughter.

you're a man after my own heart. Only difference is that I don't wrap in foil. I think it "softens" the crust. What's your take on this?
