    how to grill a t-bone steak

    Yah Baby!

    Sorry but I had to do it. It precluded the usual "hi folks". It had to be said. I don't even feel bad.

    Sort of the same way  I don't even feel bad I ate this whole freaking thing all by myself. What can I say, I was home alone and hungrier than a starving grizzly. Some girls eat more than salad. I ate beans too. I know right. I'm screaming "lady" right about now aren't I? 

    Yah, I don't even care. Look at this freaking thing. You would have eaten it all too. At least I've got the ...hm...er...ya, let's leave that one alone. Steak, look at the pretty steak.

    grilled t-bone steak

    Okay so we'll start with this- I like mine well done, medium at minimum. Not one of those I like to see red kind of gals. I like a good char on mine. I love when the fatty ends get all dark. There's flavour in that. It's the part I eat first. Every...freaking...time! So don't come on here telling me "omg it's too dark", cuz I'll just tell you to "bite me" and that'll be that. You grill your way, I'll grill mine and we'll co-exist nicely. Otherwise go pound dirt. Told ya, ladylike and all that.

    How to grill a t-bone steak!
    Servings 1 Lunatic
    Author Cravings of a Lunatic

    Ingredients

    • 1 monster size t-bone steak
    • Himalayan Salt to taste
    • BBQ sauce of choice to taste

    Instructions

    • Fire up your grill! Let it get wicked hot! It's like preheating an oven folks. It needs time to warm up.
    • While it's warming up let you t-bone set out on the counter. It cooks better when it's not freaking cold as ice.
    • Once the grill is wicked hot you want to turn it down just a hair. Not much, to about a medium-high heat.
    • Salt both sides of your steak.
    • Slap the mother on the grill.
    • Here's where I differ from others, slap your sauce on now. It'll cook into the meat a bit. Trust the lunatic.
    • Cook for about 5-6ish minutes on that side, then turn the mother over. It's going to be messy so wear something you don't care about, like one of your husband's ugly shirts.
    • Now slap some bbq sauce on the side that's facing you again. Trust me!
    • Cook for about 5-6ish minutes then turn the mother over again.
    • Cook for about a 1-2ish minutes to let the sauce char into the meat.
    • Take the mother off the grill.
    • Important step coming up people, snap outta it- let it rest for about 4 or 5 minutes before eating it. It's let's all that good stuff you did to it settle and get all yummy. Trust me.
    • Serve with a big old hungrier than a grizzly smile!

    grilled t-bone steak

    Now that's how you grill a T-Bone Steak people. That's also how you eat like a lady. If you're a lady grizzly bear. Just sayin'.

    Toodles and smoochies! xx

        I'd spank anyone's momma for a good steak. I haven't done much hanger, I think our Canuck butchers call it skirt. I should give it a whirl, or a slap. Thanks for visiting and liking my oh so very ladylike steak.

      In this house, I say slap its butt, skin it, and sear it for 10 seconds before putting it on my plate. 😉

      But, I'd make your steak any ol' way you wanted. Because you deserve a biggun!

      I haven't grilled a t-bone in ages. I love the idea of cooking it when you are all by yourself. You obviously have this thing figured out. It would save me about $65 if I waited until everyone was gone! I think mama's gonna have t-bone while the kiddies are at school. heh heh heh.

      I would give that steak a good going over but my husband eats fast and then stares at my plate waiting for me to hand him my leftovers just like a puppy dog. And who can deny a puppy dog in need?

        Lol, I get so many people say they like to see pink. I say look at my blog, there's lots of pink, just not on my steak. Bah! The sad part is I would eat a steak like that in public too. I just love a good steak.

      I like a pretty decent char on my steak too. But the inside? Just a touch more than rare. Best of both worlds - you get that great char flavor, and then that sweet succulent steak flavor. T-bones are great for individual steaks. but I like to do a big porterhouse, big enough to serve two or more. I slice it and serve it so everyone gets a good mix of the filet and the strip. Jeez, I haven't had a steak for ages - now I'm salivating!

        My hubs is like you, he is starting to like a little red inside. I think my issue is having been brought up with my dad making such a big deal if he ever saw red. This was big enough for 4 people. I got kind of carried away. Lol.

      Looks great but I'm a girl that likes a bit (or a lot) of moo left in my steak. 🙂

        Rofl, if mine's mooing it's going back on the grill. I'm learning though. A little moo is slowly making it's way into my roasts. It's a new thing for me.

      Back in my dancing days, I dated an Italian dude who would make me very, very large breakfasts. They included steak, beans, eggs, bacon, potatoes, fruit and toast. I would insist that going to dance class with that much in my belly could only spell disaster, but he wouldn't hear it. To this day, I have trouble eating beans. But I'll take my steak medium rare and BIG.

        I used to try to get mini-me to eat like that before a horseback riding lesson. She would complain cuz flying over fences and heavy meals don't mix. I only eat beans like twice a year. Then I hide the next day.

      I'm a medium-rare-with-a-rub-that's-got-some-kick kind of girl! Lucky for us, the T-Bone is one of the 29 lean cuts of beef!! Maybe we should throw another one on the grill in celebration!

      NOW you're speaking my language! I can get behind eating a big steak all by my lonesome! You and I will have to agree to disagree on meat temperature though since I'm more of a medium-rare girl myself. But I wouldn't make you leave the room while you ate your burned steak or anything - as long as you don't chew with your mouth open, because then all bets are off! 😉

      Gee, I'm drooling... no BBQ for this girl yet, have to buy a new one and till then .. it's restaurant steak or steak done in the broiler. So these pictures are just making me drool .. honestly.. I would have it pink in the middle tho, just a bit more than rare. But you left meat on the bone ...

        We just got a new one last year. Love it. So nice to be able to get outside and grill. Steaks on the broiler are great too. I also pan fry them occasionally. So good. I took the meat off after the photos. *giggles*
