My dad only lives 20 min away and he's the grill master of the family so I expect a lot of cookouts this spring and summer. Steak will be cooked for sure.

 

how do yall feel about charcoal grilling?

we always used propane

I just do iron skillet now

 

lol my friend would love this

 

Or if they're thick enough I love doing the reverse sear method for steaks.

Reverse-Seared Steak Recipe

 

It's fine but not preferred for me.

 

We used to call Bud Light BL Smoothies in college

 

only thing is this takes longer

 

I used to do charcoal and enjoyed it

Learned on propane, went to charcoal and that's when I got good

 

Propane gang!

Miller Latte 20 Ounce Tumbler

BRRooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOooOOooOOo0000000000OOOOOOOOOOoooooOO)o)o)O)O0O0

 

Propane is much easier to use and clean up but I love my charcoal grill. It can get much hotter too for a real good sear

 

Yeah propane cleanup is much less painful

 

My favorite way to make a steak.

This is how I told @dadbolt how to cook a steak dinner:

Buy a steak and some frozen french fries. Heavily season your steak with salt and pepper (the more in advance you can do this, the better & let your steak warm up before cooking, don't put it in a pan straight from the fridge). Preheat your oven. Throw your fries in the oven (I like to add salt, pepper, herbes de provence, smoked paprika to my fries.. sometimes pecorino romano or parmigiano reggiano too). Get a pan really hot, sear the steak until medium-rare. Once your steak is nearly cooked, add a dollop of butter and baste. You can toss in garlic cloves with the butter or any fresh herbs you have, etc. Pull out the steak, let it rest. Slice after it's rested, serve with the fries.

As for a sauce, you don't need one, but it's always better with one. You could make a simple red wine reduction, an herb butter, blue cheese butter, or go for the gold with bernaise.

 

What others have said. Charcoal is better than propane, but way less convenient.

 

I kinda like that charcoal is less convenient though because it turns making steak into an event

 

Blue cheese butter with sautéed mushrooms and onions is divine

 

I am so doing this next weekend! Nice Sunday dinner!

 

Yeah, blue cheese butter on steak is phenomenal

 

This is an excellent point.

I hope it turns out well!

 

I also have a turkey and a ham in my freezer. I think we are going to deep fry the turkey at some point this spring/summer and the ham is getting cooked at the end of the month. We started hanging out with our friends ,who are a couple, at least once a month. we switch off who hosts dinner, so a ham dinner sounds easy in the crockpot for a Friday night.
