The 7 minute steak method *** how my dad taught me to cook a steak

That steak looks spot on

Another 7 minute steak. 3.5 minutes a side with the lid off over a lit chimney worth of charcoal

A great looking steak, and a great story. The cooking wasn't important to me as a kid. I wish I had paid more attention.

There are not many searable steaks available in the grocery stores here. 1-1/4" is about all we can find. If we go to the butcher stores, we also have a need to stop by the bank first.

Thanks for the post. Joe

I've tried other ways but dads is the most consistent. Butcher steaks are cool for showmanship but market steaks fit my budget. The lid off cook gets the best sear possible for a thinner steak.

Thanks for paying homage Tom. This is a very repeatable technique. I'm glad you tried it.

Thanks for the tutorial Steve!

I'm going to give this a try next time I'm out of town. Nothing wrong with a good budget steak cooked right.
