Porterhouse Steaks Grilled Directly On Hot Coals, aka “Cave Man Style”
Friday, July 29th, 2011
Lightly coat the steaks with olive oil and then add generous amounts of salt and pepper. This steak doesn’t need a lot of seasoning, the grill and smoke will season it enough along with its natural taste.
Next, prepare a charcoal grill for medium high heat using lump wood charcoal. Let the embers get nice and hot and and ashed over. If the flames are too high, close the lid and let them go down. On a nice even bed of coals, put both steaks on top of the coals. Let the steak grill for 4 minutes on each side. Once juices start bubbling on the top, it is a good indicator it is time to flip them. They should develop a nice char on each side by laying on the coals. When you pull them off, use a marinade brush to dust off the coal/ash.

This was a new one for me, grilling directly on hot coals with no foil or wrap of any kind. I would love to try it sometime though. I think it’s a great idea, as long as you have a brush handy to dust the meat. 🙂
Have fun,
