The steaks I cook at home are almost always better than what I get on the rare occasion I go out to eat (almost exclusively when traveling) and it’s so disappointing. Really wish I could rent a bbq when I travel so I can eat right and avoid all the insanity of modern food.

Agree. Especially after my friend showed me what I was doing wrong cooking steak a few years ago 🥩🥩🥩 😎 #castironcrew
What’s the tech? I’m a propane bbq guy mostly bc I cook so much meat that it was destroying my living space 😂 so I cook outside exclusively.
My best tech on cooking steak is to leave slabs out on ventilated rack for 1-2 days in the refrigerator. Then pull out of the refrigerator an hour before cooking. Get the grill very hot before putting the steaks on, cook until there is good color / flavor on first side of the steak. Quick flip, salt to taste and I always get a nice crust, amazing flavor, and a nice medium rare / juicy interior.
Yeah it is the high heat, less time, that is key. I do a lot of cast iron cooking .. and using ghee or etc that won't smoke (as much) at a high temp. But yes, indoors is pretty smokey. Haha. I should prob get my grill online. Regardless, gotta heat and deal w the smoke or it isn't right.
I do use a lid to tame the smoke for inside, but it is mostly a placebo.
I’ve been thinking about getting a cast iron pan to use in my grill. I think I’ll try it bc I like the uniform browning a solid cast iron surface provides.
Best of both worlds right there I think 😎
I’ll report back 🫡
I think I am going to need to buy a grill. Part of me is like, let's get a treager. The other part is like, hell no why you wanna depend on pellets?!?!! Ffs 😂
