Grilling steak tips...

Grilling Steak Tips – Win Hearts with Succulent Steaks
by: Chris McCarthy



Count the number of times you stared at the mere sight of grilled steaks and barbecues served on the table! Actually, it is all ‘the doing’ of the great Grilling art that gives BBQs and steaks their irresistible flavors and looks. You too can dish up lip smacking, shapely steaks if you follow some infallible steak grilling tips. By the way, grilling is not just a process, it is more about preparations and involvement, as you will understand from the following steak grilling tips:

Going ahead with the practical details of the grilling process, the first thing you will have to ensure is the quality of the raw material. Regardless of whether you are grilling fish or beef shoulders, tenderloin or sirloin steaks, the bottom line is fresh raw materials make the best steaks.

Steaks or fillets in the range 1.25 inches to 2.25 inches grill well. A little fat enhances the taste of a bar-b-q but too much of it causes the meat to shrink. Fat, likewise, adds to the palatability of the grilled steak, but then it also increases health risks. Therefore, a healthy tip would be to remove excess fat.

The next sets of steak grilling tips are regarding seasoning processes. You can season the steak with salt and pepper however, some prefer vegetable oil brushings along with salt and pepper seasoning or bbq rubs . Leaving the seasoning-coated steak for 30 minutes at room temperature will treat the meat, making it tender and augmenting its natural flavor. Two tablespoons of melted unsalted butter added to the seasoning will give the meat extra delicate flavor.

Now, getting down to the real grilling business, the first tip for you would be regarding the grill itself. You need to preheat the grill before placing the fish or meat steak. Follow this with oiling the grates if you are grilling some meat steak. For a fish steak, you can place a thin hole-poked foil on the grates, thus preventing the fish from sticking.

The most important section of steak grilling tips deal with ‘the doneness’ of the steak. A rare-done steak has tender, soft core enveloped in a seared outer layer. A medium-done steak is more evenly cooked with a brown exterior and semi-firm inner layers. Well-done steaks, on the other hand, are firm to the core.

The best way to ensure that a steak is cooked to your desired degree of doneness is to use a thermometer. Do not use forks or spatulas. They would puncture the steak causing the juice to flow out. A rare-done meat should be ready by the time the thermometer reads 140° on the Fahrenheit scale. Similarly, the ideal temperatures for medium-cooked and well-cooked steaks are 160° and 170° respectively. Remember, the cooking process continues even after you take the steak off the grill.

Equipped with these steak grilling tips you will be able to floor your guests. It would be worthwhile to keep some extra servings ready, for your guests might ask additional helpings of succulent grilled bbq sauce and steaks.

Review: Gear Test Northstar Duffle bags, real Heavy Duty!

The Nice folks over at Northstar Sports in California, are getting into BBQ grill covers and currently have a great line of Duffle or Gear bags and the Gator bags.

They are going to be also reviewed this month. We received samples of the Gear Bags to test and they are super heavy duty and can hold a ton of stuff.

Here is a sample of the review, more at Onlinegrilling.com

Northstar Sports Duffle Gear bags

Gear Bags Northstar Sports is based out of California. They are making a better gear bag that will hold up to years of abuse! all heavy duty from top to bottom.

We are going to review two more new items they have a HD grill cover and a Gator Bag
Features: SD Sport Gear/Duffle bags

* Two Sizes in the Medium gear bags 12 x 24 and 14 x 30
* 1050 HD Tuffcloth
* Giant #10 zipper
* Wrap around straps

Overall Rating 5/5

Why do we like it?

These are designed to be multi function universal bag, not a lot of flash and logos, just quality rugged construction, The 1050 HD Tuffcloth looks ready to hit the battlefield, it reminds me of the first time we saw Ballistic cloth, without the high price.

I always like a jumbo (they call it construction grade) zipper because you can always stuff one more item in the bag.
What would we change on it?

Our testers liked the larger 14 x 30 size because it was small enough to store away and the 12 x 24 bag felt a little bit short for a weekend trip. However, the kids could easily use this as a overnight bag.

Overall it was a great bag and the price was nice.
Where can I get One?

It is available at many larger independent Sporting Goods stores, not yet at Amazon.com

I also posted a picture of the gator bag on the top, it has a "always open" system to fill it up easily!

Green Minimal packaging at Amazon.com

What a great idea,

Amazon.com has come up with a packaging option where they don't give you the regular retail packaging that is Hard to open and not very environmentally friendly.

Here is the page Easy package GO GREEN

many of the items on this page get free shipping on $25 and that is the best around.

Check it out and let me know if you find something new.

KELLY

Found: super cool sports or SUV shade backdrop

Found this item, it is so cool and really pretty well priced.

Kelty has one that is much more expensive.

I set it up in less than 15 minutes for the first time, from now on it will take 5 minutes to set up.

I thought for sports you could even attach this to a baseball back fence or post.

The silver is designed to keep you 10 degrees cooler than a normal shade.






It is made by Texsport which has been in the camping arena form many years..

Chef Kurt cooking at the BIG R store in Redmond, OR

OUTDOOR CHEF KURT was on the move again with a

CAMP CHEF demo at the BIG R in Redmond Oregon.


I decided on SLIDER BURGERS and FRENCH FRIES for my samples.

WE set up near the side door with my CAMP CHEF STOVE OVEN COMBO to warm up my burger buns.

I fired up my BIG GAS GRLL 3 with my 2 burner GRILL BOX and got some slider pattys on the grill.

Then I started up my CAMP CHEF SINGLE BURNER 60 thousand BTU COOKER and got to heating up my peanut oil for the french fries.

The sun was blazing hot and so was the french fry oil.

The fries came out golden brown and with a little CAMP CHEF GRUB seasoning were ready to eat .

The buns were warm and the pattys were sizzling so we started folks sampling and they loved the SLIDERS.

We served 130 baby burgers and fries and the customers loved them .

Big R plans to have OUTDOOR CHEF KURT go to all of their stores and do demos on a regular basis as they want to increase CAMP CHEF sales.

Super Cute Crocs for Girls Cotton Candy.....Free shipping

I love these crocs, they are perfect for summer.



This is what they say
The details..
Splashing good summer fun just got even better. crocs' Wave flip flop has the cool look of contrasting colors and the comfort of a thick, foamy Croslite sole. Smaller toes stay safely inside with the addition of an attached elastic strap.

What I say: Crocs have the best sole on any summer shoe, they have anti bacterial properties great support and are super light. They Can get wet and dry super fast.

The company has changed a lot over the last few years and everyone has a Croc knock off shoe, but the sole is the difference it is much better than the rest for $20 and free shipping how do you not buy them....

The BEST Greek Salad on the planet.... Top secret restaurant recipe!

MAKE it TONIGHT, super easy and the Best Greek Salad Recipe.

Ingredients

PART ONE:
1 head Lettuce, rinse shake dry and chopped. (Romaine is Best)
1 Medium Red Onion take off the bad looking stuff and slice thin.
2-3 Roma Tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 Small Jar pitted Kalamata Olives
1 Cup Feta Cheese, crumbled dice smaller
1 Small Jar drained Mezzetta Imported Garlic & Dill Peperoncini (Best)
1 large Cucumber, Sliced and cut again.

PART TWO:
1/2 Cup Olive Oil (extra virgin first cold pressed)
1 Cup Red Wine Vinegar
1 tsp. Garlic Powder or Fresh garlic clove minced 1-2
1 tsp. Dried Oregano
1 tsp. Dried Basil
1 tsp. Balsamic Vinegar
1 tsp. Black pepper
1 tsp. Dijon Mustard or spicy brown

The FINAL PART

1. Add in large serving bowl, all the "Part One" ingredients, cucumbers last.

2. In a side bowl or the feta container, mix together all "Part Two" ingredients.

3. Pour over the salad, cover and chill. You can serve immediately but if you wait a few hours it is much better. Stir the oil from the bottom to the top every so often while chilling. NOTE: It is even better the next day.

4. cover while storing, otherwise your refrigerator will remember for a few days what your made!

Use olive oil that is Extra Virgin and has not been open for more than a few weeks. Better get a fresh bottle... It is worth it...
