650 Degree Steak

Post by sosman »

The Q300P is for pussies

Yes just this weekend it was me saying I cooked my best steak ever on said Q but that was before I cranked up
da bomb!!!

First you take her all the way to 350 C:

You take a juicy piece of scotch fillet that has been aging for a couple of weeks, bring it up to room temperature, coat it in oil, rub some salt into it, and cast it into the inferno (not forgetting to rotate 90 degrees a minute or so in):

And this is a forks eye view after resting 5 minutes:

And pizza cranks up pretty well too Image

In hindsight, 2 minutes a side is overdoing at these temperatures - but you can't change too many variables at once, If anything, I probably only go for 75 seconds each side next time.

I noticed at a Toowoomba Weber Q demo last Saturday that they ran the Q a bit hotter than I do for steaks:

This demo was brilliant! Also being well attended.
The Weber team had three x Weber 300 Q fired up, one for the steak, one for the
Pork loin roast (2 hours) and one for the Pizzas.
I have never seen such crackle on pork, or tasted such tender rump steak, or
such good Pizza!
We took a six year old grandson and the Weber team let him make a Pizza from
scratch!! Then it was cooked on the Weber Pizza stone.
Most of the watchers already owned a Weber Q...........
This old dog learnt a few new tricks today!

Bah, I'd like to see them get sear marks like that.
