😢😢 Man, your comment just reminded me of how poor I am currently. Heck, I don't even know why I'm watching this video, seeing how I can't BBQ in the projects, much less afford steaks. I guess it feels good to watch how rich people live sometimes. I'm sitting here inside my local library, so I can use the free wifi to watch this video on the phone that I, and it saddens me to say this, stole last week from a kid that I could tell was richer than me. I'm leaving the library soon so I can make it to the food bank before they close at 4pm. That way I can get the potted meat and brown rice that me, my mother, two brothers, and little sister have eaten every night for the past two and a half weeks now. Wow, You rich people sure make the rich life seem so amazing. I hope one day that I can eat steaks that I cooked on a BBQ grill. God Bless you all, and thank you for sharing your wonderful lives online for all to see. You're truly an inspiration and you give me hope to keep pushing forward. Much love!!

[@erinhopson9336]

This looks amazing, and you make it look so easy!

[@sjzafrani]

Erin Hopson it IS so easy. Just start with a good cut of meat and follow the steps. So so simple. Let it sit for 30 min out of the fridge. Salt and pepper liberally. Dunk in clarifies butter (ghee), throw it on a hot grill. 4-5 min per side or cook to temp. Couldn’t be easier.

[@liliker3120]

[@jeffreyjoseph6872]

Hello Randy, I enjoyed your presentation. Since I am using charcoal, for correct searing, I usually reach 280 to 310 inside grilling temperature. Should I move my charcoal pan closer to my grill grates or sear longer than 4 minutes a side? thanks, Jeff

[@GOOSE-ep1iq]

What is your temp at the grate level? I don't know why the always put the temp gauge so high above the grates. Just move it up till you get the inside to reach 350 and you will be good. The grates at that point may be in the 400+ range depending if you are using lump coal or briquettes.

How long do you keep the steak on the lower heat after the 8 minutes of searing?

[@BBQGuys]

For medium rare, let the steak cook over the low heat for 4-5 minutes.

Just made my first ever steak and it was the best steak I've ever eaten. thanks heaapppssss!!!

[@neilgovender1440]

[@BBQGuys]

[@Matt34677]

Question: are you leaving the top open when you sear and then closing it once you move it over to the low heat. I'm asking because I'm not a pro griller but I tried this and almost burned my steak with the lid closed 😔

[@BBQGuys]

That is correct, I leave the lid open when searing. Then close the lid when steak is over low heat for the rest of the cook.

[@TheBigTimeBoiler]

@@BBQGuys for medium rare how much longer are you leaving it in there with lid closed?

[@penandthesword6609]

BBQGuys how long do we live it on low heat for medium cooking???

[@leov36]

Imad Beydoun you can use the Weber app and it’ll have you pick out your cut of streak, how thick the steak is in inches, then ask you your desired level of doneness. It’ll then spit out a total time for your steak to cook over direct heat at 450-500. I include the seer time in the total time. For example, if it says 8 minutes, I’ll seer for four total minutes then cook with the lid closed for 4 minutes. Hope this helps.

[@penandthesword6609]

leov36 thank you so much

[@nachomama55]

What temperature did you sear it at? Update: I used your instructions on a New York Strip and it turned out great. Thanks.

[@BBQGuys]

We preheated the grill for about 30 min to get it super hot. I would say the temp was around 650 when I put the steak on.

[@nachomama55]

Thanks!

[@Bigfish1day]

[@BBQGuys]

[@thomasnappo6309]

Nice job

[@jessecruz1656]

how long do you keep it on the lower flame?

[@pagodad2036]

Until it reaches your desired temperature. 130-135 for medium rare. Always let it rest for 15 minutes or so after you remove it from the grill by tenting with aluminum foil.

[@adamz0037]

So initially you said to keep the entire grill high heat, so when exactly do you lower the temp on the left to finish cooking? Do you just turn the heat down as you place the steak to the left or should the temp already have been turned down ahead of time?

[@carlyjensen8514]

Turn it down right before you drop the steak

Man you made me so hungry for meat!! Thats a beautifull bbq!! One question, don't you close the lid while searing?

Thanks! No, leave the lid open so you have more time to get the outer sear before the steak cooks through too much for your liking.
