Howdy all,
Today was quite a mess weather wise. Just a few inches of snow but accompanied by rain...a little preview of the wallop of snow were supposed to get on Wednesday.

We belong to a farm CSA share and they offer these 12 lbs assorted meat boxes. We’ve recently bought a few and now our small freezer is packed. So why not fire up the grill?! I used the vortex on my SNS kettle and did two T-bones. Simple salt and pepper seasoning tonight. Paired them with honey roasted rosemary carrots and mashed taters.

I probably could have pulled the steak a tad earlier but it was still a great meal. Thanks for looking all!

I’ve been thinking about a vortex for searing, those steaks look pretty dang good. I also really like the carrot idea sweet ams robust flavor there for roots!

Those steaks look great. Actually, that is the degree of doneness I prefer. And the marbling in the uncooked steaks looks perfect.

Looking great!

I have discovered I need to surf this site only after I have eaten. Otherwise I am immediately hungry. And your plate is a prime of that trigger. LOL

Nice job the steaks looked great from start to finish. Although a little over done for me. Plate looks great.

The vortex might be one of my favorite accessories. It's awesome!

They did have good marbling. Honey glazed carrots are a staple here- we love them with some rosemary or other herbs thrown over top.

Fine looking meal. Using the Vortex is the only way we do our steaks anymore. They always seem to turn out great.

Nice piece of work on those T-bones JCAP, Like! About every time I try to use the Vortex for searing the meat ends up just a tad more cooked than I want, lamb chops especially have to be watched like a hawk. I've pretty much gone back to the old fashioned three minutes a side direct over coals on the bottom grill, I believe a little better control that way. RAY

That's a great looking meal! Be happy to make a plate of that disappear.

Awesome looking steaks!
T-bones & porterhouse are really a good food choice if you can get them at a bargain!
