Steak

[Cliff Bartlett]

Followed up my fish taco cook with a couple of Rib Eyes from Costco. Had our second 110°+ day in a row, but it was my night to cook. Did a couple of quick steaks, potato and some green beans with garlic and butter. Here's the pictures.

The steaks were large so went with a couple smaller russets. Got them going first.



1 lb. and 1.3 lb. Prime from Costco. Seasoned with salt and pepper only.



Got a little heavy on the sear but no problem.



Slid the steaks off the direct heat and got the beans going.



Beans hot and tender.



Steaks running around 120 to 125





Plated it up.







Well, that's it. Meat was wonderful and the beans were garlicky. Fine conclusion to a toasty day. Thanks for looking everyone.

Great dinner, Cliff! Did you blanch the beans at all or did they go into the skillet raw?

 

[Kevin L (NKY)]

Wow I like this simple but big flavors. Nice plate shot also.

That's a good way to at least enjoy something in the heat, Cliff, I won't say beat it......110F if hard to beat! I'll be up in Sac on Sunday, so if you are fixing to cook some more of these, I'll swing by! Nice cookin' sir!

Dear Lord Almighty please make my dinner.

I don't know what looks better, the color on the outside of that steak or on the inside of that steak. Man that is a great looking cook all around.

 

[Dave Mazz]

Oh Cliff, you're making me hungry! Awesome to say the least!

 

[Steve Madden]

Fine looking meal there! I’m going to have to try doing potatoes on the grill sometime soon!

Great dinner, Cliff! Did you blanch the beans at all or did they go into the skillet raw?

I do them both ways. These were blanched.

I'll be up in Sac on Sunday

Yesterday was the last of our cool days for a while. Heat returns tomorrow and sticks around until Sunday the 23rd. Looks like Sac. is about a degree or two cooler for this weekend. Good luck with your trip. I'll probably be selectively cooking for a while. A nice ride up to 4,000 foot Shingletown sounds good for a day trip for us over the weekend. It's only a 30 minute drive, much cooler and most importantly, safe.

One more thing the ratio of steak to sides is amazing! Your pictures looked so good, I just went out to the store and got myself a Rib Eye for tonight, mine is only .6 lbs but it will be enjoyed.

That looks great. I cooked up some rib eyes this past weekend on the kettle, only to have the rest of my family complain because they prefer sirloin because it doesn't have as much fat. I initially started to explain to them why they're wrong, but then thought it'll just be less expensive to get one rib eye for me and the rest sirloin for them anyway.

Those beans look about perfect. I need to use my cast iron on the grill like that more frequently .

Great char on those steaks!
