1.
Thaw out the steak ahead of time. Look, you know on Monday that you are going to
need to eat on Tuesday. So, make it easy on yourself and move the meat from the
freezer to the fridge. If you forgot to defrost the steak, use the microwave,
but read the "quick defrost settings" or you will ruin a
perfectly good piece of meat! |
 |

2.
Season the steak with dry ingredients first. I prefer Lindberg-Snider Seasoning, but many others are on the
market. Remember to season both sides. Why? Because you won't both sides to
taste good! |

favorite beef seasoning, then you can make your
own. Suggestions are pictured to the right --> |

3.
Season the steak with wet
ingredients. I prefer Lea and Perrins Worcestershire Sauce. There is no substitute.
Remember, flip the steaks in the dish and do both sides. Why? because
you won't both sides to taste good! |

4.
Light the barbeque. I
strongly recommend getting one of these long lighters. You will be one
funny looking fool when you burn your eyebrows off. |
 |
|
5.
Clean the grill. After the barbeque has
warmed up for five or ten minutes, clean it! I suggest a brush like
this. |
 |
| 6. Now it's time to
drive the neighbors crazy! Place the steaks on the grille. Do not use a
fork. You will pierce the steak and lose all the juices. I suggest using
tongs like these. |

7.
Place the cover on
the grille and let the smoke do the work. Don't worry about burning the
steaks. The cover will prevent flames. Trust me on this. A good, smoked
steak, is the only way to go. |
 |
|
8.
I cook two 1 inch thick steaks, on high,
for no more than 6 minutes on each side. For 2 inch thick steaks, I
recommend 8 minutes on each side. If you follow my instructions, and leave
the lid on, the barbeque will begin to smoke when it's time to flip the
meat. I also suggest that you get a timer
and use it. That way, when the babe next door comes a knocking,
you won't lose all the work so far! |
 |
| 9. This step is very
important. Relax, have a beer, and feel good about driving your
neighbors absolutely crazy with the aroma of steak on the grille. |
 |
|
10. Don't relax
for too long. It's time to prepare the side dishes. I suggest sliced
tomatoes and cottage cheese. If you can't pick your produce, get
packaged tomatoes!
 Later,
I'll show you how to do a baked potato and garlic bread. These will have
to suffice for now.
Oh, before I forget. Invest in a good
knife and a steel to sharpen it before every use. If you take care
of it, it will last you a long time, and you will be less likely to
spend the night bandaging your wounds.

|
11. By now the
timer has gone off. Use the tongs and flip the steaks. Wait for five
more minutes. |
 |
|
12. Plate the
steak and season the side dishes with a little salt and pepper.
Tip: A little Italian
dressing or olive oil on the tomato slices is always a nice touch.
