joatmonvThe grilling thread
Have a BBQ thread but I don't think I've seen a grilling one.
Anyways, I grill more than I smoke meat as it's quicker and getting home from work and then smoking something for 5+ hours doesn't work.
2 chuck eye steaks I did over direct heat charcoal last night. Weather was great as it's not hot and nasty yet. Paired with some pita bread and some Guiness.
Let's see some pictures.

TBHMy local butcher started offering chuck eye steaks several months ago. I’m a ribeye fan, and not sure why I decided to try it. If there is a cut of beef that matches or comes very close to the ribeye, it’s the chuck eye! But the ones I’m getting are only single servings!at least for me!

doublesharpMy steaks have become legendary thanks to my Sig forum education on reverse searing. We mainly do ribeyes, 1 1/2" thick. Indoor oven at 225 degrees until insta read temp is 130 then move to a hot outside grill to sear. I take mine off at about 140 and my wife's at 155.

Interesting question. I'd assume he's just opening the door and sticking the thermometer in the meat. On the other hand, at only 225 degrees maybe he's leaving it in even if it's not specifically labeled oven safe.

Same, except I like mine much rarer and pull at 105 before I sear. I picked up a nice iGrill Bluetooth package with multiple sensors so that I can have 1 read the air temp of the grill (try to keep it between 225 and 250), and the others read the individual pieces of meat I have in there slow cooking.
All the temps display on my phone and I can set ‘warning alarms’ if a specific temp exceeds a defined parameter.
Reverse sear all the way, baby.
here is a link to the iGrill I use if anyone is interested…
IGrill 2 - on AmazonAnd it should go without saying, but hopefully by now all fellow grillers have been fully indoctrinated on the idea of having a ThermaPen thermometer. Game changer; especially for chicken and pork.

Yes, it is oven safe. Digital readout connected by a wire to a metal probe. Alarm beeps when desired temp is reached.

YellowJacketGot a 22" blackstone griddle for an early Father's Day present and did my first cook tonight. Simple ribeye philly cheesesteaks. Turned out pretty good considering I have no feel for surface temps yet.

Small chain store here called Sparkle Market. There's only like 3 locations, all in my county.
Have to admit that I've never seen them at the bigger chain stores. Might not hurt to ask and see if a butcher might cut these.

I am but I'm strictly wholesale manufacturing.
30 years ago I was a butcher but that was when the company was just a grocery store. I rarely if ever cut any meat anymore.

I got my first flat top griddle last year and just love it. I should have had one years ago.
I made an omelet, hash browns, and sausage last Thursday morning and ate it during our morning scrum.

SigfestI noticed Giant Eagle had about 6 small boneless Chuck Eye steaks in their meat case. I googled it as I’ve never heard of them before. Seems the Chuck Eye steaks are right next to the Rib Eye steaks. And there are only 2 per cow. Not exactly sure what that meant. I looked at them closer and they looked and felt real tender. Only about 8-12 oz each. So I bought 3. Gave 1 to a friend. They were excellent. And the best part was they were only $6.99#. I’ll be looking for them again when I go back.
