Title: Cold grate technique + Small grate technique = Ranch Basement Steaks and veggies
Post by: Troy on June 18, 2018, 03:00:50 PM
I've been using this technique a lot over the last 6 months. I first used it while cooking pizza rolls on the rancher. I used a 22" cooking grate for the rolls and it made it easy to move them all around at once rather than using tongs and man-handling every single pizza roll.

The technique evolved a bit with korean bbq (bulgogi). I like to cook a lot of it, enough for several people or several meals. I use thin-sliced ribeyes and they marinate for 12 hours.

The thin sliced meat cooks quickly and too much grate-handling will result in lost meat and less-than-ideal searing. So I started mixed the cold grate technique with the small grate technique and I started cooking in the basement of the Ranch for KBQ.

In this cook, I use the same technique but for steak and veggies. I even attempted a reverse sear.
Good times.

I've cleaned and detailed the beast a few times, but within a matter of days it's dusty and dirty again. I give up.

Thanks!!
To be honest, tossing onto the coals didn't work as well as intended.
I normally put the fat on the grates (in foil) so it melts and drips into the coals. Tossing it directly into the coals ended up being a blazing inferno.

Ha, I bet. Could have been the ranch being so big. I might have to test it out on a 22.
