Perfect Char-Grilled Oysters

Easy char-grilled fresh oysters cooked over Cowboy Lump Charcoal.
Daniel is showing you how quick it is to make this killer recipe at home! It starts with an easy tarragon infused butter sauce and a hint of heat from truffle-infused hot sauce. He shows you how to finish them off by drenching the oysters in that butter bath and finishing them over the flame with a little sharp cheese. All ready in under 20 minutes.
He's using the Cowboy Cauldron today, but this recipe is great for any grill where you can put the oysters over direct heat.
Ingredients:
► 5 lbs fresh oysters
► 2 lbs butter
► 2 tbsp fresh tarragon, minced
► 4 to 5 tbsp Truffle Hot Sauce
► 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
► 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

An open oyster doesn't mean it is bad, it means it is breathing and has probably been out of the water for a while. If that open oyster doesn't close when you tap it with another oyster, then it is a bad oyster.

[@debbiezullo7056]

Definitely delicious. Thank you ♥️

[@LouisianaAstroRambler]

Damn those look good.. We usually add cheese, garlic butter, jalapeno slices and bacon bits, down here in Louisiana.. They're money dude..

[@Robikakoly]

This is the best way to eat oysters 😋

[@mayaikejim]

We were seeding oyster beds out front of the house in the 60s, so we just get wet when a hankering strikes; pop use to put a touch of salt on the rim of a budweiser & pop down a half dozen with a cherry tomato most nights before dinner; several of us have annual hundred head or more oyster roasts; but I ain't never heard of anybody sniffin' one.

[@Modi-Drink-Moot]

First time I had oysters was in Egypt made exactly like this they were absolutely beautiful tasty as can be

[@jamesnigro6821]

Looks awesome. Question though. Why wouldn't you shuck them first then put them on the grill? I have an oysters pan that I put right on the grill. Is it a moisture thing? Well done my friend. Jimmy from New Hampshire

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Hey Jimmy, we grill em both ways. For this one we wanted them open to we could get that smoke flavor through and really drench them in the butter. That's the only reason. We also like letting them open naturally under the heat too

[@charliedcho]

I usually just eat them raw but this looks so 🔥 I gotta try it. That cauldron is amazing

[@hardcorehunter7162]

You only need to use a 2-3 chunks of wood, you're just using it for the extra smoke flavor. It isn't the heat source. Also it will smoke/smolder better if you put the wood chunks down first then pour the coals over the wood.

[@RYN988]

That’s a lotta wood! Great looking grill!

[@CowboyCharcoal]

It's a lot of fun!

[@phayaolem5885]

I'm so glad I found this video!! I JUST made some steamed oysters with garlic and butter but I shucked it first and it was soooo difficult. I wish I saw this earlier lol..but now I'm going to try this method. Thank you so much!

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Hope you give it a try!

[@michaelad48]

Looks soooooooo delish

[@BYDonBermudaGrassCentral]

Awesome video I’ll be cooking this tonight while watching Loki 👍🏾

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Thanks so much!

[@TimDurkan]

so glad I found your channel...suppose to wait for the gf to get home to start grilling but I might have to get an emergency batch going before she gets home! Thanks Daniel :-)

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Im sure she will appreciate the effort!

[@karterjoseph1300]

I’m about to try this now

[@B24CPN]

Great video! Alright when I went to go try the grilled oysters for the first time, I didn’t anticipate one major problem… after the oysters popped open and I took them off, to open up the top shell, little tiny bits of the shell were cracking off the edges as I was prying then open, and bits of the shell ended up getting down into the bottom half. Uuugh! This was so annoying. If you know how to avoid this issue or what I was doing wrong, I’m open for suggestions.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

We're so glad you tried this recipe! 🙌 The best way to make sure that you eliminate the as many of those little bits as possible is to scrub the oyster well to clean it prior to cooking. Then carefully, peal the top shell off prior to eating.

[@TommyboyGTP]

Pry them open at the hinge

[@meatlast]

Shuck them first. Put the butter/siracha mix on each and set them on a hot grill till the liquid boils

[@juliahaley74]

My fav food in the world

[@chadwickcooks]

You did a Great Job what a Nice video

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Thank you!

[@jameskrajewski1974]

Great video, where may I get a grill like that?

[@CowboyCharcoal]

This is a Cowboy Cauldron grill - check them out here cowboycauldron.com/

[@jdssmokinque]

I just might have to try a grilled oyster! My go-to has been smoked oysters

[@CowboyCharcoal]

You gotta try these!

[@garrettredd2541]

What about oysters that haven't opened still, after 5-8 minutes on the grill? Still good to eat?

[@mallyp.a.p.g.]

What type of grill is that . I’m trying to find one

[@camrynwilliams5038]

Cowboy cauldron

[@gary5565]

Great video, thanks!

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Glad you liked it!

[@odin8010]

Great video

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LadyHunt91]

Great instructional video. Yassss! Hot sauce on the oyster or some fire butter sauce with Cajun seasoning for me . U gotta have some seasoning on your food.

[@OkNikaOK]

Love that grill. I’ve never seen one like that.

[@joerockme7485]

BIG GRILL FOR A LITTLE JOB .😎

[@VinegarWithAnAttitude]

[@robertk7796]

​@@CowboyCharcoalwhat charcoal are you using in ur video

[@BrodyYYC]

You said 3 cheese blend but the recipe only says parmesan. Did you use any other kinds?

[@RandomUserName916]

What kind of grill is this? Where can I buy one?😍

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Its called the Cowboy Cauldron, you can find them online 🤠

[@Koj1971]

If you don't cover them ...how do they get the smokey wood tast?? Confused

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Because we are cooking hot and fast oven an open fire pit, the oysters pick up enough flavor. Just like food right over a campfire always picks up some flavor, same idea!

[@bobmchugh9965]

If U like a creosote taste, use mesquite. The best of all is cherry, then pecan, then hickory.

[@tomschmitt6911]

bullshit, mesquite dont taste like creosote.....

[@jonathanramirez6501]

smells and says taste like it just smelled out if the ocean 😂🤣

[@LA-ni1jb]

This has to be a skit. Hilarious good shit guys. Had my dying😅😅😅

[@tomschmitt6911]

*my dying....? WTF

[@joeyguidry]

Cowboy cooking oysters, you can tell. Open them first, like we do down da bayou, the Cajun way.

[@JayDub-uo5qn]

A great video although there was mucho habla sheesh! Life is short

[@smokeyj9]

Can I get you to tell my in-laws that part about handling a fire blaze up. GEEZE, they squirt water on the blaze, and then you get ashes all over the food!😢

[@CowboyCharcoal]

We know better than to step in between families cookin 🤠

[@MylezNevison]

From a distance he looks like he is grilling stones/rocks. 😆

[@phayaolem5885]

🙄🙄

[@meatlast]

The rocky horse grill looks cool but I don't think I'd like cooking on that swing.

[@CowboyCharcoal]

Yeah, you want to keep it evenly balanced! Luckily its pretty well built for even cooking

[@jasonwin5499]

i thought bad oysters dont open up and bubble over like the others. you can nomally tell

[@VinegarWithAnAttitude]

Stupid question from Hawaii: with a grill like that, is it easily movable?

[@CowboyCharcoal]

You can move it, but its more of a once up leave it where it is kind of grill.

[@PaulBodyBuilder]

Dam

[@BobaFatt182]

Lemon and habanero sauce is 100

[@wesfx4979]

Don't wear rubber gloves around an open flame....

[@moneyb9494]

Shut up rookie, you have front of house hands

[@pyrosx988]

A dead oyster will only starts to smell long after it's been dead. Better off listening for hollow sounds.

[@blaineclark9794]

Take it's Thyme........ A clock joke... lol

[@donnellperry4657]

Only a great griller can talk with that much smoke in his lungs

[@reformedsoteriology]

lol, this channel

[@chadsanders8005]

Do yourselves a favor and shuck the oyster first and wash them. Then place on the grill with your butter and garlic. No one wants grit and sand in their oysters.

[@jskillz12able]

Thought same thing

[@skylerinman]

A good quality oyster shouldn't have any of that inside it, and washing when would remove the salty sea water. I'm not too sure elsewhere but nice Florida oysters there's never any problem. However shucking the top shell off first will just safe some time and you can season with whatever first then grill on the half shell. If you can shuck okay you shouldn't push in any dirt or shell

[@SaRynDk71]

You get more EXP when eating with grit.

[@Toroazul54]

He went to New Orleans, had the char grill oysters and thought he could recreate

[@FreeMindScoop]

@@Toroazul54man I made these at like the age of 21 it ain’t hard and once there ready to eat they pop open everytime, yall talking about grit but folks eat this stuff raw.

[@gabriel9377]

hand rolled butter i pass bro give me a southern recipe not some weird recipe

[@forwardthinker4139]

Oysters and cheese? Just past the hot sauce

[@tomschmitt6911]

agreed no f''''n cheese

[@causa2009]

Waste

[@DonniesBack]

Hot sauce? It’s a oyster not chicken. Juice? It’s called liquor! This guy should be making Mac and Cheese.

[@cameronkrewson8371]

Its an instructional video, bruh. Most folks would be confused by “liquor”. Speaking of confused- the correct pairing for “rude comment” is a healthy dollop of “wit”. Taste is mostly subjective, but rude + stupid always = donkey.

[@HDMFly]

Lol what is wrong with hot sauce on an oyster?

[@BIGNOSEPOPPA]

Alot of people put hot sauce on oysters. I've done it on occasions as well.

[@DonniesBack]

Only people who put hot sauce on oysters are the warm water people down south choking down half pounders that taste like trash. Come north and eat a real oyster. Straight outta the water.

[@BIGNOSEPOPPA]

@@DonniesBack as a person who travels and as a person who eats seafood from Connecticut all the way down to Florida, I'm going to let you know that you are just stuck in a bubble and looking very ignorant. I know people from up north that puts hot sauce on their oysters dude. You trying too hard to be some fake gate keeper when really you just look like an ass. Social media will also show you how wrong you are so you don't have to take my word on it.
