Low Temp Steaks

Earlier today BBQ-BoB posted a message about low temp steaks - tonight I had 2 nice 2 inch filets that were on the BGE 10 minutes per side at 400-425 degrees. As per the experience of BBQ-BoB, the steaks were tender, juicy and extremely good.[p]My Preparation - marinate for 6 hours in equal parts of soy, lemon juice and olive oil (thanks Hog Wild). Before being placed on the grid, a little black pepper and kosher salt - no mustard, no searing - just great steaks, thanks BBQ-BoB.

  • Gfw, before my egg, I used a Holland propane grill which only has a drip pan between the large burner and the cooking grate. My steaks were always wonderful, even though I felt like steaks needed high temps and near flame contact for searing. I still have people telling me that they think those steaks were better than the present way I do them on the egg. There is a lot to be said for a slow cooked steak. The Holland is sitting there right next to the egg,,, but I always use the egg. I guess that says a lot for my preference of cooking machinery. I think I will slow it down on the egg next time just to see how I like slow-egged steaks..

    Gfw,[p]I did not marinate mine at all.....just a few spices on both sides. But I have to say the ribeyes were very well marbled. The results may not be the same with a lean filet mignon. Still...I'll try it again on other stuff....
