Title: London broil on the smoky joe
Post by: Hambone1950 on June 02, 2013, 03:12:01 PM
So after church today , me n sweetie did some food shopping and she mentioned that London broil was on sale and might be nice for supper. Well , who am I to argue with a lady?

So , we (she) decided we should cut that bad boy in half....I concurred. Gave tonight's half a little spritz of Worcestershire sauce and dusted it with Montreal steak seasoning .(the other half I believe I may marinate overnight in eye-talian dressing and cook another night....but I digress.)

Fired up the smoky joe....

Once the fire was blistering hot , i let the grate get nice and hot and slapped the meat on it.....4 minutes on a side and flip

four minutes on that side and flip....

then a minute on each side , flip , flip and it felt medium rare so I took it off to let it rest....(no pic of resting meat) sliced it on the bias , like bobby flay taught me....

i hate to brag...(who am I kidding? I love to brag.) but this was so delicious , I surprised myself. Moist , tender....that peppery , salty Montreal spice....nice char on the outside and nice and soft and juicy inside. I could've eaten it a tiny bit more rare , but sweetie likes it medium , so I just acted like I meant to do it medium.

just us two at the picnic table on the patio....paper plates...low key. We had a nice ear of fresh COTC to go with it , but in all the excitement I neglected to snap a plated pic......corn round here's been excellent this year. Hey. Hope you all had as nice a weekend as me. Thanks for lookin.

It's been a while since I did one too , but with the price of beef lately , the price was right. :)

Very noob question:  With the meat SO close to what are clearly hot hot coals, how is it you weren't getting crazy flare-ups?

Keep the cover on. That's the beauty of the weber covered cooking way.
