Leaving a steak out before cooking...

SO I was thinking. Most of us leave our steaks on the counter with whatever rub/seasoning/spices we put on it while we get the egg up to temp.
My kitchen is up 3 whole steps from my deck and I am usually either too tired, drunk, and/or fat to waddle up them and grab the steak off the counter. In fall and spring I will have it outside with me, no big deal.
My question is now with summer here-how long is too long for me to let the steak sit outside with me? I keep the flies and stuff away from it, im just asking on a meat safety basis.
Thanks guys

Here in Florida I leave them out an hour or so after they have spent 60 minutes in the spa to hot tub at 102f and have never had a problem.

Richard, to get the benefit of hot tubbing a steak, you want to sear it as soon as it comes out of the tub. That way you are not losing the internal temp you got from the hottub. -RP

Must be dislexik (sp) meant to say leave on counter for an hour or so and then into the spa and then IMMEDIATELY onto the 600-650F BGE. Mia culpa, had a bday last week and forgot how old.
-
So, you guys are putting steaks in your hot tubs? Doesn't that make them taste like chlorine?
Do you wash your lettuce in the shower too? -
NO, I use bromine in my spa. just make sure the container is air tight.

Don't knock it until you try it, I don't have a hot tub so I do it in the sink, it is a great way to cook a steak. -RP

And whats wrong with chlorine :laugh:

at first glance i was hoping for a bottom of a pink bikini!XL Walled Lake, MI

I think Richards pink bikini was in the laundry at the time :ohmy:

Actually it is being held up at Canadian customs. They never never saw one so small for Steven.
-
Did it have polka dots?
-
Not sure,, I was blinded before I could tell :ohmy: :blink:

I understand, had one on the 24Th and can't remember who I am.

I think??? -
the rule used to be 4 hours between 40 and 140 ambient temps, i think it changed recently to 2 hours but with beef with a salt rub it would not bother me to leave it out say 3 to 4 hours. hamburger i chill before grilling instead of warming on the table and even though the safety nuts say to cook to 160 degrees internal, i sometimes just warm it in the palm of my hands and eat it raw :laugh: , same with ground lamb as they serve that raw here as wellfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
