Steak on the Barbie + Mysterious Shadows

I had not had a steak in a long time. Last night just seemed like the right night. A little nip in the air, a glass of red wine. Let's fire up the grill.

I had this steak waiting for such a day, I'd taken it out of the freezer a day or so ago, and out of the fridge an hour before prepping. It is huge and will serve 2.

































A little salt and pepper, and get the cast iron pan on fire. Start the grill as well.



















It fills the pan!




















Two minutes a side.



















Add a pat of butter, and into the grill, pan and all until internal temp of 125.



















While the steak was finishing in the covered grill, I was surprised to see the evidence of a thought to be extinct creature, the Backyardasaurus.  It appears mates were moving through the neighborhood. While they look like herbivores, perhaps they were drawn by the smell of the cooking steak?



















With the steak off the grill and resting, a quick sauté of spinach and Korean greens, with a little olive oil and garlic.




















Time to carve and serve! It looks charred but it is just a nice crust




















Delicious!


I am getting found of the pan to grill technique. It works well for me.

Eat Well and Keep Digging!
