Ditto Dino, on the shallow pours. Nothing pisses me off more than some waiter pouring half a glass of an already overpriced bottle of wine. It's not the $$, it's the overselling that bothers me. And as you say Dino, one would like to savor each taste of wine in all of it's glory.

Cooking a 2 1/2 inch steak on the tuscan grill requires that the coals must not be directly under the steak. It is not unlike cooking indirectly on a Weber type grill. The anvantage of the ovenn is the radiated heat from the dome also cooks the steak. The goal is a slightly warm center but still rare steak. Carl

Re: Steak on the tuscan grill

Here is my recipe for a Tuscan Steak:
1. Large T-bone or Porter-house 1 1/2" thick
2. Rub a broken clove of garlic over the bone and meat
3. Drizzle on some Olive Oil
4. Rub in some Italian seasoning
5. Let this set at room temp for about 1/2 hour.
6. Season good with Kosher Salt
7. Cook the steak over a WOOD FIRE. Rare is perfered.
8. Let the steak set for about 10-15 minutes
9. Remove the Strip and the Fellet from the Bone
10. Cut into 1/8-1/4" strips against the grain
11. Put on a platter and drizzle some GOOD Olive Oil and then squeeze some Lemon Juice over it.

Gentlemen, I can tell you that this taste like no other steak that you had. I also like to serve this with some Arugula and fresh tomato's.

The best steak I ever had was at the Pink House in Genoa (the first settlement in Nevada). It was a filet mignon, covered in some magical orange sauce. Unfortunately, the chef got busted for cocaine and the food was never the same. Now they are out of business. Second to that were the rib eye's I cooked on the grill. Stuffed with blue cheese and green onion.

Les, the "Pink House" in Nev. sounds more like a brothel to me. But that rib-eye steak sure looks awesome.

Now.... If it were a white sauce, I would question it as well. Seriously, he was a great cook - sometimes people take their eye off of the brass ring.

Re: Steak on the tuscan grill

what do you do from keeping your tuscan grill from rusting. i welded one together from a cast iron grate with 4 plumbing pipe legs, works great, but hard for me to keep it from rusting

Re: Steak on the tuscan grill

The grill must be oiled after cleaning just like an iron skillet. Eventually it will season but even then it cannot be left out in the elements. Carl

What's the best way to "restore" one that has rusted?

I say rust stripes look pretty much the same as grill stripes.

Re: Steak on the tuscan grill

Remove the rust as much as possible with a scouring pad, then oil and heat in the oven and oil again prior to using. Carl

Re: Steak on the tuscan grill

btw...I found a recipe for steak that is pretty good.......dijon mustard, salt and ground pepper......put a teaspoon of DIJON ( not regular mustard) on each side of the steak and and spread it around using the back of the spoon. you can let the meat sit like this from the moring as long as its refridgerated. Just before you put them on the grill, put a sprinkle of salt and some fresh ground pepper and enjoy!
