I strongly agree. I have a big kettle grill out back that I use frequently during the summer. However, the poster is located in Chicago where it was -15 outside this past weekend. While it's warmed up to a balmy 35 today, the cold air does decrease the ability of a grill to get hot enough to provide the right combination of outer doneness/inner goodness. That, and grilling outdoors in subfreezing temps is a pain.

A cast iron grill pan is a good winter compromise.

Once you've had a steak cooked in the Chicago steakhouse fashion (blistering heat for a short time), it becomes an eternal challenge to try to replicate this at home.

Yeah...oops. Didn't take that into consideration.

I was just sayin'...that's all.

alton brown's recipe from good eats results in a fine steak if you're limited to indoor cooking, but be prepared for loads of smoke and a grease-coated oven.

i suggest:
steaks, salt and pepper, charcoal grill (mesquite or hickory chips help a lot), way high heat-maybe even nest them in the flames, very short cooking time. your best bet is very high heat for a very short time. this way you get burned, crispy outside and still pink inside. tres yum. a 5 minute resting time is essential.

fuck anthony bourdaine fuck that guy

Thats a really weird thing to read.

I was watching the travel channel for an unusually prolonged period of time (doing something else across the room... none of yer business what!) and that fuck Bourdaine kept popping up in every commercial break. I do not know him, or have anything particular against him, but something about his ugly mug incessantly appearing on my tele made me pissed off.

My wife and I now often will just exclaim, "Fuckin' Bourdaine!" or "Fuck off, Bourdaine!" at one another, for no particular reason.

Just strange that another person would need to say the same.

I also carry some strange, hard to explain animosity toward Jared Fogle. He's a fuck too.

Carry on.

I usually lightly coat the steak with oil. Olive if you've got it. Canola/Veggie works if you're broke.
Then lightly dust each side with sea salt and a few twists from a pepper grinder. If I'm in the mood I'll sprinkle a little bit of garlic powder on there too. Cover it with plastic wrap for a few minutes and then grill.

Grill for a few minutes each side until it feels mid-rare by the hand method.


Jared is a douche

like 5 years ago my boyfriend and i would just do a random "bourdaine!" every once in awhile too (weird, by the way) but then i met that bastard and now it is definitely fuck bourdaine. fuck that guy. not for anything in particular but definitely that dude's face pisses me off. so i guess now there are two doppleganger couples in this nation who want bourdaine to fuck the fuck off. although did you see that episode when he ate ox dick?
