New glasses tomorrow and no pan fried steak can beat the green egg!
I got a call from my (newly hired professional) optician today.
My new lenses are ready!
I can't wait to experience the result of her research after looking at a world that could have been way sharper for almost two years now. (my lenses in my glasses are wrong I recently found out).
I'm pretty excited about it if I'm honest.
Bianca studied the whole day again so I asked her what she wanted to eat tonight.
"Steak!" (bless her)
Say no more!
I had to time it a little bit because the Netherlands is being attacked by rain.
For a country that is very good at fighting water from the sea I'm always surprised how a little bit of rain from the sky can bring this country to a standstill.
Including my grilling efforts. (I really should build some sort of roof for the egg.)
I gambled I would have a clear window between 7 and 8.
I lid the green egg and prepared the meat and vegetables.
I opened all the vents and she reached 225c within 10 minutes!
It's such a perfect grill.
It was @s3rg3 who showed me the Green Egg way and I have never regretted the purchase.
I put the steaks on and turned them after 2 minutes.
I also used my cast iron grid, I did some experiments with the normal grid for a while but this wins. (it makes better grill marks too).
When the internal temp reached 45-47c I took them off and wrapped them in aluminium foil. (They continue to cook while resting and they will reach 55c, my perfect rare temp.)
After 5 minutes of resting it looked like this:
I apologise for this end result picture. It was too rushed.
The steak was served with rice and beans and grilled peppers.
After tasting a pan steak from a couple of days back I can say that nothing beats bbq.
It does not even come close when it comes to steak. (unless I learn better pan technic maybe).
Dinner was great!

Greetings, Great Exyle
You've touched on 2 main points that anyone should like. Meat and chili in the same food. It's a delicious blend. The meat well Temperadinha is one of the best foods in the world. The chili gives a special touch in the meat, besides being very nutritious, because it is a vegetable with many types of vitamin, especially the C.
It looks like this barbecue is used very often. That's very good. A meat always good for the health and the soul hahaha.
Thank you for posting and good afternoon!!!!
I remember you talking about this in your two days post concerning getting a new glasses, I know that madam is serious about it and will never let you down she will surely get you the best matched glasses for you.
Wow. You are so good getting meal prepared just like you did yesterday.
True, green egg steak's are the best and you are perfect in cooking it well!
"I gambled I would have a clear window between 7 and 8."
I love your weather picture. 🤣
Exyle when are you going to kick some serious ass with Streetfighter?
👊😎
I would love to play again but messing up my wrists (better now) made me somehow weary to restart the journey if that makes sense.
Now you can see the world clearly with your new @exyle jajaja buddy lenses. I'm nearsighted. I have to go to the ophthalmologist to have my glasses made.
By the way... Beautiful steaks.
Good news that your lenses has arrived. I wish you all the very best with it. You are gradually turning into a masterchef :)
wow, it looks like the food looks very good, I think you are very romantic, so you can make your wife happy. Your wife is very lucky to have a husband who is very affectionate and caring to her. Hopefully someday when I'm married, I also have happiness like this. I do not believe that you can cook, it's really cool. A man who is the dream of all women. Thank you @exyle, and I hope you have a wonderful day with your family... :)
A fine steak, my friend, and when served with a garnish in the form of rice and beans, then the blubo becomes even more delicious, especially if you are cooking a steak in a famous green egg. I, too, are a big fan of meat in any form and especially roast, so the look of your steaks is very pleasing to me! Thank you Mark.
I'm happy you know that that blubo taste great!
I definitely have to try it.
I hope you get much better vision with your new “properly” adjusted glasses.
You be surprised how much a steak continues to cook off the fire while resting.
HMmm, Steak...
I have been seriously been considering embracing the vegan lifestyle,
(don't judge me)
you are not making it easy on me
:-)
