California Farm Grilled T-Bone Steak
We like our beef steaks thick, cut one inch thick. Here is how we grill steaks over charcoal on the barbecue and serve it tender.
It is called reverse grilling: you finish the internal meat to the level of doneness first on a low temperature, away from the hot coals, test if it is rare, medium-rare, medium, medium well or well done, and then sear the meat over high heat over the coals, one minute per side.
You can use an internal digital thermometer, or Emma-Jane’s cookpad finger method. I tried both methods side by side on steaks and I feel confident her method is as accurate as digital thermometers, better than time based methods.

To sear all over for color and kill any surface bacteria, flip steak onto hot coal side of grill, top open, sear meat 1 minute on each side. Rest 3 minutes. Meat will cook more while resting, add 5F degrees, so medium rare steak at 130F degrees becomes 135F.

To share both sides of a T-Bone steak with two people, (the bone has tenderloin meat on one side, and strip steak meat on the other), you cut the meat off the bone, carve the meat across the grain, 1/4” thick, and on the bias, a 45 degree angle, and put the meat back together against the bone on the platter, so people can share. Meat bone is sharp and splinters and goes to garden fermenter, not the dog. Enjoy sharing this bounty family style.
