Magical wood-fire steak cook on Father's Day

[Bob Correll]

A very good friend from Wisconsin sent me a custom made, heavy gauge, stainless steel ash pan for my Maria.
Time to fire her up!

Spuds and corn getting grilled up on the deck.

Time for the thick ribeye, and thin T-bone to smell the smoke.

Then the magic happened.
This voodoo flame popped up:

And Presto! 3 steaks appeared!

Seems the dummy who cut and wrapped the ribeye steaks for the freezer (me) didn't mark them as being 2 steaks.
Even though warmed to room temp, they had stuck together very well, until the flip.

Due to bourbon intake, and hunger, I almost didn't take this poor plated shot.

Hope everyone had a great Dad's Day, I did!

 

[Enrico Brandizzi]

Great looking steaks and sides.

If that flame made 3 steaks appear, I'm going to set my office on fire in hopes of the whole cow...

Nice Cook!

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Looks great, Bob. That plated picture is beautiful. I really like that Santa Maria Grill, but with our extreme fire danger six months out of the year, I'm a little leery with the open flame. They are selling them like hotcakes at our Costco however. Anyway, beautiful cook.

 

[James Lake]

Great cook and you have one heck of a friend. That dang bourbon can sneak up on you. Keep eating well my friend.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Wow Bob, making a third steak appear is just pure magic! I knew you had great grill skills but nothing that great! Of course if I get enough bourbon in me I've been known to do some magical things too!

 

[Jim Lampe]

Deja Voodoo! I love that grill!!
And your grilling looks Great too! No magic there...

 

[Bill Schultz]

I love Grill Voodoo, and you do it well, happy Fathers Day my friend

David Copperfield must be your cousin

Love flame pic bro.

That plate looks pretty rich to me Bob...nothin' poor about it!

Beautifully done!

I wish steaks would multiply on my grill like that!!! Another great looking cook Bob, and good to see you broke out the SM grill. I see you added a rotisserie on yours, have you tried it yet?

 

[Bob Correll]

Thanks so much everyone!

John,
I did use the rotisserie, once, with mixed results.

I have since developed a Plan B. Put the charcoal in the aluminum pan, and place it on the cook grate to be moved up or down.
This bird put up a fight.

C'mon Bob, tell us the truth. The cow was using fertility drugs right?

 

[Tony R]

Happy Father's Day Bob.

 

[Kim Drana]

I wonder who that friend was...wink...wink! Great cook!

 

[Chris Lynch]

I hate it when bourbon does that! Looks like a great meal as usual bob!

 

[Brian Dahl]

Great - now he's a conjuror: "and behind this kettle lid is..."
Abracadabra, baby!

 

[Barb D]

Bob, those steaks look great, but to get one to become three please send that recipe to me. I like that to happen, but keep cooking like that and we may make a trip and come see you.

Nice for sure. Looks great Bob
