Did I mention we were gifted a lot of steaks? Well…

Did this one in the dark at our PS rental with no lights over the grill. This meat is so marbled and so forgiving it’s almost impossible to overcook. Oh and I’ve discovered that A-1 Smokey Black Pepper Sauce is really good.

Yep @thechez5, after a while the usual steak and potatoes route gets tired and u wanna switch it up…

Started them on the Weber outside but it started drizzling, so I cranked up my big ass grill pan and finished them off. A little fat trimmings I skewered between each piece were sizzling & popping and flames curled up to kiss the meat. Had to open the windows and the diffusers were working overtime for two days. :kissing_closed_eyes:

So not sure if this should go into the “Cookware” category or here but I have a new toy producing great results. Last year I purchased a new grill from snsgrills.com. It’s a Weber kettle on steroids. Pics:



Recently they came up with a rotisserie for it. As Orthodox Lent has just ended I have been going crazy on meat this week. I did beef and lamb with marginal results ( the heat retention of this grill is phenomenal so the meat was slightly overcooked), but the chicken knocked it out of the park. So very good!

That chicken looks spectacular! Good job.

Thank you!

Didn’t want to waste the leftover chicken; it’s hard cooking for only two. I made chimichangas. Recipe from the late, lamented California Culinary Academy. Many of my favorite recipes come from their cookbooks.

No that is a Jidori I picked up from the new Pavilions in the Valley. The https://joyce-farms.com/collections/all-in-stock-products/products/poulet-rouge-heritage-chicken-coquelets, are great, but the shipping is more than the chickens so I haven’t bought any lately. Used the last of what I had frozen for the daughter’s 30th birthday dinner.
