Date night at Chez Craig's

[Craig]

Kids at grandparents for the night last night. Rather than go out for dinner, my Wife wanted me to do a Surf 'N Turf.  So She picked out top siroin steaks and scallops with asparagus. This is my first time doing scallops. I used the skewer setup for the scallops, 3 minutes on each side. Not rubbery or overcooked. I was nervous at first, but they turned out good. Sorry, no plated pics, the phone was being used for background music at the time. My photos are not great. I need to just invest in a real camera.

The '79'er heating up.....


Asparagus on for about 25 minutes, then threw on the steaks...


4 minutes on each side, seared to medium rare...... We're Aristocrats....    (see Goodfellas)


Scallops going on. Seasoned in Weber Boston Bay seasoning (Thank You, Shaun!)  I liked the skewer set up. If anyone has any other recommendations please feel free to share your techniques.


Again, no plated pics, but the meal was a success. Most importantly, my Wife enjoyed it.

Such a grate combo of food, kettle and accessories.  You have me thinking that I do in fact need the kabob set.  Sheesh.  Get it?  Sheesh Kabob?  Wah wah wah......

Nice cook up, Craig.  Do you take reservations?

I only get to imagine the plate-up ... I'm sure it looked and tasted awesome!

I am thinking I need a sear grate ... might need to put that on my Christmas wish-list.

Great cook up Craig! I made a really cool sweet lemon glazed scallop dish a few years back. I would have to remake it to get the process down but if anyone is interested let me know.

Oui! Oui!

Thanks to this thread, I did Monday night's asparagus in a little foil pan on top of the warming rack, and it was awesome.  Just a little olive oil, salt, lemon zest/juice, and thyme.  Amazing. 

Thanks, Craig!

[Craig]

Thanks for all the compliments fellas! Chasing Smoke, tell me more about your scallop dish that you did....

Nice job Craig.  The steaks looked really good.  Nice on the asparagus too.  How long did you leave the scallops on?

Thanks Jeff! I did them 3 minutes on each side. Not at all rubbery or over cooked.
