This is the key to great grilling, and is what I always use!!

I’m been blogging for quite some time now about cooking, trying and enjoying different foods, but I’ve been reluctant to take photos, mainly because I feel there are so many bloggers who frankly are better food stylists and photographers than actual cooks, thus visually appearing to be very impressive. Truthfully, I can’t be bothered to whip out my fucking camera when I’m busy cooking, but I guess that’s just me. I’d rather comment before, or after on the meal, the company, the whole event. Yesterday, Tiffany was insistent on taking a few pics showcasing my grilling skills … chicks dig guys with grilling skills … so I figured why not? And here is the result … two 40 ounce Delmonico Steaks!! Oh, and btw that’s 100% Canadian hardwood lump charcoal (no briquette shit for me) easily hitting 1000º Fahrenheit … if not exceeding it!!

As you can see I charred the outside(seasoned with cracked black pepper, kosher salt, and Barberian’s Steak Seasoning) while keeping the inside rare … perfectly grilled!! I served it with grilled garlic-butter bread, caramelized vidalia onions in a balsamic glaze reduction, pan roasted whole button mushrooms seasoned with cracked black pepper, crushed garlic cloves, and fresh thyme(from my garden) and I made a homemade peppercorn/red wine sauce to serve alongside the steaks!!
