how do you like to cook your steak on open fire?

[mahoro]

i've always used charcoal briquettes in a grilled, but few weeks ago i had a chance to use some mesquite, oak, live oak, maple, hickory and something else, and i been hooked on it. i've always just put salt and pepper and sometimes garlic on my steak (depends on the cut and quality). so how do you cook/like your steak?

[Nickintex]

Sounds good just the way you are making it. When's the cookout?

[PhishPhreek]

First I maranate the meat for at least an hour then
I use a gas grill and wave it past the fire twice.

I marinate the steak or brisket overnight with "Wild Turkey" or a dark or lager beer. The "Wild Turkey" steak makes an impression to the uninitiated!

I normally use Jack Daniels marinade but on nice pit I would go with just a bit of crushed black pepper, SoySauce and maybe some garlic.

Rare - Medium Rare.

If available then, sure. Here's my preferred order:

1. Wood Fire
2. Charcoal
3. Propane
4. Broiled

I personally like some Montreal Steak Seasoning on a day old dry aged steak. On rare occasion I marinate my steak in Italian dressing for 3 to 24 hours (depending on availability).

Ribeye - always. Medium - always.

I marinate my steaks with Montreal Seasoning, Crushed Peppers, and some Sea Salt. Yummy!

I like oak or pecan coals. I rub the steak with spices, let it get to room temp. I use a piece of the steak fat (or oil if the steak was already trimmed) to rub down the grill surface. I place the steak on a hot grill, turn 90 degrees after a minute or so, flip once, turn 90 degrees after a minute or so then remove. I let the steaks rest then for a few minutes before serving. I like medium rare. I use the five finger test to check for doneness which doesn't require cutting into the steak to see how done it is.

I like garlic salt and lea & perrins worchestershire sauce. I'm a Carolina Boy gotta mop it with liquid.

PhishPhreek ~ I agree Grand Prize Barbecue in Texas City Rocks. I get the chopped beef on jalapeno cheese bread with extra suace.

Daum ya'll making me hungry. the brauts on the grill won't hack it. Mark must have worked as a cook in the past knowng how to cross hatch a steak. You can't beat a good cut of meat.

[Nickintex]

You have insulted the brauts I bring at each meeting. FF, your steak versus my brauts. We'll see who's meat beats whose!:furious:
