O.K. question

This might or might not come to a surprise to you all but I have never cooked steaks on my eggs. I tend to steer (pun attended) away from beef. Well I found these nice thick cut ribeye boneless steaks and I have some jumbo shrimp. George is coming tomorrow for dinner. Will also grill a head of romaine.
Will use the medium. Temp and setup advise. Also am going to wrap the shrimp in bacon. Should they go on together? I also have not cooked shrimp on the eggs.
I appreciate the feedback all!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!! DO NOT overcook anything,may wanna nuke the bacon that you will wrap the shrimp with til half done before puting on the egg,shrimp cooks fast.Remember you can cook ANYTHING a little more,but you cannot UNCOOK ANYTHING!GO FOR IT!!!

Hi Molly,

I cook my steaks at about 450º with the grid low. I give them 2 minutes a side and rotate them and give them about 45 seconds more to a side depending on how thick the steaks are and how hot my fire is and how well done you like them. I like mine on the rare side of medium rare and usually pull them when they get to 122º internal. I never had the best luck TRexing steaks, probably never go my sear hot enough and I would loose a lot of juice while I waited for the grill to cool for the roasting stage. But thats just me.

For the shrimp, cook your bacon about half way. You want it to be golden but flexible so you can wrap it around the shrimp. I always put them on a skewer so I could nail down both ends of the bacon. On a 8 to 10" skewer I would get half a dozen shrimp separated by a chunk of fresh pineapple and half a cherry. I would put them on a fairly hot grill 400º to 450º on a raised grid for about 2 or 3 minutes a side. Just long enough to finish cooking the bacon and to gently cook the shrimp. I would sauce them when I put them on or shortly there after so the sauce gets a good cook also.

Hope this helps,

Gator

Thanks that does. I can use my grill with the legs for the steaks and the reg grill for the shrimp. I have pinapple and then throw on the romaine at the end. Yumm can't wait for dinner. I'll get pics for sure!
Have a good day.

I don't do steaks alot, but when I do have gotten the egg as hot as possible for the sear, sometimes forcing air into the bottom (700, 800 or hotter). Two minutes on each side for a good sear and then nearly shut down the dome and let it dwell to desired internal temp. I have a buddy with an XL kamado that will run the dome temp up to 1500+. I usually sneak a mesquite chunk in the fire as well just because.

Any thoughts/critique on the ultra high temp methods?

If you go nuclear on the Egg, don't forget to burp it!

Some lessons are learned the hard way!

Oh boy Smoky, that doesn't look too good. :( That must've been quite a flashback. I want to trex a steak so badly but everytime I see pics like that it makes me think twice.

i would go with the trex method and put the shrimp on during the roasting stage. might sound odd but ive stayed away from chicken breasts since getting the egg, last week it was a first for me. doctor told me my protein count were a little low and i should think about eating more red meat :laugh: like that could be possible. with that trex method i salt for the sear and add pepper right after searing before going back on for the roasting stage, i dont like burnt pepper

I'm not as eggsperienced as all you folks, but I do cook a lot of steaks. I agree with fishless, T-Rex 'em. You can put shrimp on at 400 the last few minutes of the roast stage then finish with the romaine. Use a cast iron grate if you have it to make it look like this.

smoky b

Yeah I am definitely going for multiple burps next time. That was crazy. My wife heard the flare from inside the house!

cookn biker

Man I gotta get a cast iron grate and so much more!
I think I'll probably try 450-500. I'm scurred of the flashback. I'll take pics!
