Rainy Night

in Off Topic
It's a rainy evening here in Southern Ontario but, that doesn't mean no egging.

I've got some ABT's ready to go on the egg; stuffed with hot Italian sausage and Monterey Jack cheese followed by some 60-day dry aged NY Strips that I plan to do Cowboy/Comando/Kamikaze/Caveman style.

Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Sounds good to me. I just realized I'm hardly cooking anything tonight. Pizzas for the kids and brats for the adults... It may be more about alcohol consumption for me this evening. I'll be living vicariously through your cook though.
    I raise my kids, cook and golf.  When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.
    Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

    Well, the ABT's turned out great. Did them raised direct with dome temp around 350* for about 30 minutes; turning a couple of times. The steaks had great flavor and were very tender but, probably a little too thick for cowboy style cooking. One was 2 1/4" and the other was 2". Made it difficult to get the center up to 130 (where Mrs. TOTN likes her's). Did them about 8 minutes per side and, as you can see, they developed a solid crust and were still pretty rare in the middle; which I actually prefer. Would definitely have helped to set them out on the counter about an hour sooner as well.

    Yes, cooking directly on the coals. It's more a novelty to me; something different to do. As I noted above, my steaks were probably a bit too thick and I did not let them get completely up to room temp before I cooked them. The method does produce a great "crust" if that's what you like.

    If you try it, make sure you have a good glove and/or a long set of tongs; it's pretty hot down there on the coals!

    Thanks @swordsmn, I appreciate your kind words! Glad to hear that you're playing it forward (assuming your SASIL got his egg because of you).

    Great looking grub brother of the north.  Cool looking umbrella as well. I'm still waiting on some more lobsters though ;)
