T-Bone done differently

tarheelmatt

Got the inspiration from Bobby Flay from one of his shows, though it took a strip steak and did his meal.  Harris Teeter had T-bones on sales, so I did this technique with it instead.  

Before cooking, liberally coat the steak with salt and pepper.  I added some fresh garlic to add some flavor too.  Place in the fridge over night.  

Get the Egg very hot, like 600+ and sear to get a nice crust.  That's all you want.  I wish mine had a little better crust, but it still turned out fine.  

Once you established your crust, cut the steak into nice size pieces.  Place in a CI pan with plenty of real butter (I added the pieces of garlic back to this to really add more flavor) and back on the Egg to finish cooking till desired temp.  I went around 425° on the medium.  

Pulled, and assembled on a plate.  I placed some blue cheese crumbles on mine and left some plain for my wife.  

Take the remaining butter in the CI pan and drizzle/spoon over the pieces you assembled on the plate.  This also helps melt the cheese and also push through a few more degrees if you pulled a little early.  

The sides were nothing special, and my little girl was "hangry" (that is hungry and angry).  

Now for the pictures.  

1 - Started with this





2 - Fixed a piece of salmon for work tomorrow..




3 - Getting a crust



4 - Pulled and ready to slice. 



5 - Butta getting ready to get happy



6 - Butta is happy




7 - Plated




8 - Started off the evening on a bad note.  Miss Priss here got tangled on her own feet while getting her Mothers shoes (she wants to get shoes for us).  Fell, and hit her head on the door molding.  Nice goose egg on her forehead.  Scared the living piss out of me when she came up and immediately had this on her forehead.  Called the doctor and they told of things to look out for, but overall she was okay just by her nature.

Thanks @DMW , not sure what was up with them yesterday.  I did nothing different.  

She was fine all night and in fact didn't cry too much when it happened.  Scary parent moment when I first saw that knot though.

Looks great...  Sorry your daughter fell..  Hope she is ok...  I noticed you gave your wife the tender part of the T-bone.... Smart man!!

Thanks buddy.  So far, she's good.  Just has a gooseegg on her forehead.  

My wife doesn't claim to like it, but she goes for it first.  That's okay with me.

Brother Tar, I can not see them on my computer at work. However I can see them on my iPhone. I have been having this issue on the Brethern as well. It might be the internet out here though.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks for reloading the pics.  That looks incredible.  

theyolksonyou

It looks even better than it sounded!

tarheelmatt

Thanks @Mattman3969 and @theyolksonyou .  When my wife took a bite of the first piece she said, "Oh my", I knew then it was pretty good.  Something about that brown butter with garlic over the steak packed mucho flavor in all aspects.  I really enjoyed the blue cheese on mine with the butter over it.

I'm going to do this. We do steak every other week end at least. Think I'll do a couple of fillets as that's the wife's favorite.

Damn son......that looks incredible.  I'd have been afraid to cut then continue to cook in fear of drying it out.  Well done.

Those would be dynamite for sure!  Just make sure they're thick enough.  My crust wasn't what it should have been, but it was still mighty fine.

One would think that, but the butter helps in that category when cooking and then the drizzle afterwards.  I promise, it will not be dry.

What in the world does "upload into the body" mean?

I always upload into either my website or Google photos and then link to my posts.  The pictures aren't in the body of the comment/thread.  Helps load easier, especially with larger files.  

In this case, they photos are loaded into the body of the post/body and posted.
