Down & Dirty Steaks With Loaded Baked Potatoes
was so excited after the first time that I cooked steaks using this method, that I spent hours of thinking on how to improve my set up that would be dedicated solely to cooking steaks using the down dirty or clinched method as illustrated in the cookbook "Charred Scruffed" by Adam Perry Lang. The "Hibachi" grill work just as good as I imagined it would, but I now know to back away from the grill when using the leaf blower, lol! Oh it worked great, and did exactly what I was wanting. Even though I just recently posted a video using this method, I felt like I needed to elaborate this method more than I did in the first video, simply because I didn't explain in enough detail what is really going on and what the difference this method makes in flavor, compared to cooking a steak above the charcoal on a grate. Please give this a try and let me know how it works out for you
