Steak, Shrimp and Garlic Toast

[MossyMO64]

Last evening my wife and I cold smoked a couple of rib-eye steaks with oak.


-----

Gave them a quick sear while cooking some shrimp.

As the steaks were resting tossed on some garlic toast.

Oak smoked Tatonka Dusted rib-eye, Buffalo Wing seasoned shrimp and garlic toast cooked to perfection courtesy of the Vortex... It was a fantastic meal!

Thanks for looking!

That looks great!  Makes me want a steak instead of the chicken I plan on smoking in awhile.

If you don't eat all of your steak there is always a chance for a Rib-Eye Omelette with green & red peppers, mushrooms and cheese in your future!

That looks delicious!!!

Steak looks nice and pink but I'm not sure about the 'sear', it almost looks burnt to me and I hate anything thats black and burnt. To each his own I guess.  Made the mistake of ordering 'blackened catfish' once and hated it, thought later what was I thinking, you don't like burnt food!! Must be from eating burnt toast as a kid, as in mom burns the toast, scraps off the burnt part -- kind of -- and then butters it and says eat it. Nowadays if I burn toast I toss it and start over.

I take the other opinion and love a hard char on a steak. Not really anything else, but definitely a steak. I'm more of a darn-near-raw man myself, though. Looks great, Mossy!

OK, here is how to get the hard sear, after sous vide to proper internal temperature...

Del, what in god's name is that??! The afterburner nozzle off the space shuttle??!  

[leechlake]

what a great cooking tool!  I've got one of those "salamander" blow torches that kind of look like that but even bigger.  May have to give it a whirl.

Big one.

I cheated and stole the picture off a page's instructions for getting a crust on a sous video steak.   Looks like something that goes on a propane torch.

Turn it on high Del, it's cold here in CAWchester. Need a 20* temp boost.

[KEN W]

That's even better than putting it under a broiler.

[delcecchi]

Yep, a very hot skillet below and a torch above to get a sear without messing up the perfectly cooked inside.

If you look a little closer to the searing pics of the steak it was seared over a charcoal filled Vortex, Vortex's have been measured with infrared at grill grate temp as high as 1114º that I know of... it is a steak searing machine not to mention other indirect and direct cooking methods it provides kettle and kamado grills!
