So kids, summer is a'comin and the best way to enjoy summer is grilling out with a beer and eating a juicy steak:

So how do you men like your steak? Burnt or bleeding or somewhere in between? Any special tricks with your cooking?

Personally, I put slits in my steak and put garlic in the pockets then cook them.

Also, what kind of grills do you use? I'm in the market for a grill between $200-$400 and figured the manly men here would be the best source.

    Steak is usually prepared medium, just to make things simple. If bloody, that's fine. If there is no blood, heads will fucking roll.

    Sausage? Sausage should be cooked in an aluminum foil boat filled with beer.

    Charcoal grills can do it all, my man.

    I'd rather boil my potatoes and then mash'em up than just go straight for the mashed potatoes. Less work. Still tasty.

    I've got a soft spot for mashed potatoes with garlic, and a little cream

    just a hearty kind of side dish

    also slicing up potatoes, putting 'em in a tin foil packet with olive oil, herbs, sliced onion, some peppers, whatever else works in it, then throwing that on the grill is also good.

    Medium rare, then I usually cut off the fat because I am so pirssy.

    We had a barbeque at work yesterday. That was actually more fun than I expected, and they cooked veggie burgers for the people who hate America

    One of the guys got a hot dog and covered it in hamburger toppings. It was bizarre but neat looking

    most restaurants are scared of undercooking your meat so I have to ask for medium rare to get what I want

    I've been to a couple places, real steakhouses, where they don't fuck around. my dad's rare steak was hardly even cooked and even my mom's medium rare (which I had to share because the portions there are fucking huge) was a little too much for me.

    if I go back there, I'm asking for medium. I'm thinking specifically of jocko's steakhouse, by the way. fantastic place.

    recently tried a thing where I boil fingerling potatoes in just enough water to cover them, after dumping insane amounts of salt into the water, and by the time the water has mostly boiled off, the potatoes are deliciously soft and finely powdered in salt.

    It tastes sort of like a mix between a baked potato and a french fry. They make really good appetizers, and they only take like 15 minutes to cook.

    I try not to use too much salt.

    Unless they're on my steak fries, which I have perfected their preparation.

    But I may give this a try when I got a kitchen to destroy.

    I usually like a Fin Du Monde from Unibroue

    very flavourful, compliments a steak decently

    actually, Maudite from the same brewery is probably better for steak, now that I think about it. Both are fine beers though.

    You don't always need a grill. Some times you just can't beat a cast iron skillet or heavy pan.

    Minute/minute and a half per side and that is one tasty steak.

    Throw in some shallots, mushrooms, butter and peppercorns with those drippings. Add some whiskey.

    Hoo boy now you're cooking.

    Maybe add a bit of heavy cream.

    Fuck yes nirvana

    I guess you are a cooking retard.

    You want a rare steak and it ends up undercooked or overcooked. That's how you screw it up.

    stop cooking with a blowtorch

    anyway so since i don't have a backyard or anything, meatcooking is done in either a

    11453b.jpg

    or

    Breville_Ikon_Removable_Plate_Grill___Panini1kxStandard.jpg

    it's really decent as far as tabletop grills go, gets much hotter than foremans and because of the panini-style lid it doesn't squish the meat to hell
