There’s nothing better than charcoal grilling, I’m convinced. I had an expensive gas grill, but what I gained in time, I lost in flavor. It just wasn’t the same. I went back to cooking over coals and never looked back.
I mean come on…. you can’t get a steak this beautiful and flavorful except over coals.
I’ll tell you how it came to be…
I love a good grilled burger more than anything, so 99% of the time that’s what I grill when I grill. However, my boyfriend is a ribeye steak man, and I recently saw a couple of beauties, so I picked them up to surprise him.
When I got home, I mixed together an amber ale, some brown sugar and some teriyaki sauce in a ziploc bag, put the steaks inside and left them in the fridge overnight to marinate and tenderize.
The next day I fired up those coals and let them ash over real nice.
Just before placing the steaks on the grill, I rubbed them with some seasoning.
Only charcoal can make this kind of magic happen.
While the steaks were cooking, I boiled the leftover marinade and used that to baste them.
The ribeyes were tender, juicy and the flavor was out of this world.
Seriously, so good!
