Here are a couple of pics from yesterday's family steak night! I don't normally prepare steak like this. It's definitely a treat, and not something I would normally prepare every time.
I grilled these ribeyes on my Weber grill with my cast iron griddles. When it gets colder outside you really have to pay attention to how long you grill your steaks. I definitely hold them longer on the grill during the colder months in order to get to medium (were we like them in most cases).
These steaks were also around 2 inches or more thick, so I definitely adjusted the cook time because of how thick they were. I always try to have a plan when cooking steaks in terms of how long on each side.
During this grilling session the thought process was to go four or five minutes on each side. Then I will do the poke test... And then I will adjust depending on if I think they need to keep grilling longer. In this case the total cook time was probably more like 6 minutes on each side.
Your cook time is also influenced by how hot your grill or your cast iron griddles are. I have learned this in the past as well... Sometimes those griddles are not as hot as you think they are... But a lot of times in the summer, they are much hotter than they are when the outside temperature is more like fall or winter. So, you need to make sure you adjust your cooking based upon how hot your griddles really are.
All in all, these steaks turned out great! Cheers to all of you I hope you get out and grill some steaks very soon!
