First Salt Block Cook

SSQUAL612

I’ve had a pink salt block for a while & decided to try it out after seeing a couple of post recently.  SWMBO is not a big steak fan so I wanted to see if I could make a filet in a way she would enjoy.   I put fresh ground pepper on the filets and followed the reverse sear method & then sliced after a sear on the salt block & returned the slices to the salt block to cook further.   I was going more for a Korean BBQ or Tepanyaki style.   I saw in previous post where some were saying shrimp were too salty so I started mine with unsalted butter & Habanero Garlic & finished on the block.   I made Clamato Rice from a recipe I found after a recent Bloody Mary post & SWMBO said it was the best rice I’ve made.  I served the meat with sesame oil & Mrs Dash salt free Southwestern Chipotle for dipping & it paired nicely. I’ll be doing this again since it was fun & tasty.

I cooked a salt block once.  Almost impossible to slice and, as predicted, salty.

That looks fantastic.

Excellent cook.  Gonna need to get the salt block out again.

It was fun...nice evening on the patio.   I liked the Clamato Rice, but it does contain MSG as NOLA pointed out in the BM thread.  It turned out great & cooks in a Dutch Oven so you could make it on the Egg.  I used the oven since I was cooking with Jr.
