In a blender combine half cup of water, three tablespoons of olive oil (or whatever), one bunch of scallions, half bunch of fresh cilantro, a piece of fresh ginger at least the size of your thumb, however many scotch bonnet or habanero peppers you personally think is one too many, a couple cloves fresh garlic, the juice of three limes, a tablespoon of molasses, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 teaspoons allspice powder, 2 teaspoons black pepper, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 2 teaspoons ginger powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and a dash of cumin…..purée all that and use it to marinate chicken overnight (legs or thighs are my preference, but boobs work too..)….. then if you have a smoker, use that. If not, grill it with a foil packet of wood chips with holes to get some smoke…. You do want to get some good color on the chicken… so you want to run your smoker hot…

Also, take the measurements of the powdered ingredients above plus salt and make another batch to season the chicken as you put it on the grill…

Also, here’s my personal secret… I replace the molasses and soy with this (amazon)

Cast iron skillet

Oh….
In that case…. Do the pre cook steps above (dry, salt, bring to temp, dry, oil, season)…

Heat your skillet on high until it starts to smoke….add three tablespoons of veggie oil….add your steak….wait about a minute, lift and rotate the steak 90 degrees, lower heat to medium high, wait a couple minutes, flip, add 1/4 stick of butter and a clove of garlic that you smashed but left the skin on….using a big spoon, baste that butter over the top of the steak continuously (you’ll have to tilt the pan a bit)….you should see the butter sizzling over the top of the steak…continue this process until you reach an internal temperature of 110-115 or whatever you prefer.

If the pan is excessively smoking, lower the heat to medium at any point….you may find you need to modulate the heat up and down a bit….

Would much rather have an outdoor flame grilled steak, but love some pan sauce at the same time. You're right about Fruitz and flames, bro would definitely lose some eyebrows!

Bought a Gozney while you were on walkabout. Haven't cooked much in it as I've been hella sick since the new year, but looking forward to doin some steaks in it. It will go over 1000*! Pittsburg rare it is!

Pittsburg rare it is!

They call it black and blue there (I was partner and chef in a restaurant a little ways outside of Pittsburgh at one point)….


Which gozney did you get? I want one so bad….although I did see someone came out with a pellet fired pizza oven…so that’s neat..

I like my steak topped with sautéed onions and mushrooms. A baked sweet potato topped with a mountain of brown sugar, fuck I need a snack.

Thanks man. I don't know why I thought things were going to be different.

I did try to make use of the trip, so it wouldn't be a total waste.

I stopped at SoulMan's Barbecue and got a half rack of smoked ribs and this beautiful beautiful loaded potato.

It's BIG!!!!!!

I also stopped off and picked up a new circulation fan for the grow room.

I had a conventional rotating tabletop style fan, but I think with this one, I can eliminate running the ceiling fan.

Those vornado fans can really move some air! Have used them before with great results and they last for years! When i had to downsize all my growrooms and tents i stopped using oscillating fans because they take up so much space.
