Grilling with Dr. Monkey

I read on a reputable website that I trust about how to grill the best steak you've ever eaten.  So I decided to follow what they did and to try it.  Here are my results:


They dry aged their steak in the refrigerator for 4 to five days so I did the same.  I got a regular ribeye and left in the fridge for four days.  This is what it looked like on day 1.

Day 2.

Day 3.

Day 4.

I lit my grill and let it heat up and then I grilled my steak that I had put some salt and pepper on, since my heart attack we only eat red meat a couple times a month instead of a couple of times a week, and instead of having a steak like this each, we split it and have a big salad or other summer vegetables with it.

Okay, there's my steak after I grilled it.  I let it rest and then I sliced it up and served it.

Verdict: Meh.  This was by far not the best steak ever.  The dry aging process added nothing to it that I can tell expect maybe some dryness.  I may have grilled it too long or used a smaller cut than I should have for this process.  It came out kind of dry and just meh.  But I'm willing to try it again with a bigger cut of steak, maybe a bone in ribeye or a thicker cut.  So far I am not impressed but I'm willing to try again.

Summer time and the grillin' is easy

The other night we grilled bison burgers, herb and olive oil coated egg plant slices, and a banana pepper:It was all oh, so tasty.

Mmmm, mmm, good

Remember when I made this flat bread recipe and posted about it? Well, I made it again last night and this time I cooked it on the new charcoal grill we got last week. I put finely diced red bell pepper, diced garlic, chopped rosemary, sage, thyme, and a bit of Thai basil in it. Words can not describe how good it tastes when it's cooked on the grill. It was good when done on the stove, but it's a ba-jillion times better when made on the grill.
