WooHoo it was a huge success. :D I grilled 3 sirloins this evening along with some onions. I was a little nervous at first but it wasn't too bad. There are no leftovers, bones have been picked clean. LOL Even my 16 yrs old who has become a finicky eater(translates to eats only what he wants) went back for seconds on the steak. DH said he is turning all grilling over to me, he said this with a smile on his face as he lifted his fork to his mouth. LOL I want to get a fire side box for my pit so I can start learning to smoke meats.

I forgot to say I put worcestershire sauce, Kroger brand steakhouse seasoning(it's in a disposable grinder) and Zatarain's Cajun seasoning.

Here are some pics. ignore the rusty looking grills they need to be re-seasoned.

steak and onions all done

We like our steaks med rare and I would say these are pretty near perfect.

I had the fire a little close at the beginning as you can tell by the extra flame kissed on the onions and the edges of the steak. But I'm so excited that I am getting to do this. I love to cook and this is just another way of cooking that I get to learn and hopefully master.

Oh and I forgot to say the sirloin was homegrown grass fed here on the ranch.

Some folks would say you can't get a fire too hot to grill steak. All about searing the outside with the inside all nice and moist. And home grown beef on top of that. :D

Now, either get a firebox for that cooker or build a fire on the left and smoke on the right :wink: :D
