I sacrificed supper tonight
No, I did eat eat....the sacrifice was in the cooking.
We had a couple of steaks and some vegetable kabobs. I turned the gas grill on high..all three burners.
My thinking was sear the meat, then lower the temp and let it cook slowly while the veggies cooked.
I tossed the steaks on, then went to help Jackie with the kabobs.....and that took longer than expected.
When I got back out, I swear the grill was at 900 and the steaks were blackened around the edges. Plus, they seemed smaller.
And there was flame on the bottom of the grill.
So I pulled the steaks off, turned down the temps, and waited for the grill to cool before I put on the kabobs.
The kabobs actually turned out ok...except the carrots were a little hard. But the corn and potatoes were fine.
The steaks were dry. And tough. And black.
I'm just glad I didn't melt the siding off the house....it was that hot. I did get a little worried about the fire on the bottom, but nothing blew up so I guess all's well that ends well.
I did order a new left side shelf for the grill. Last spring's storm caused my shelf to break and it just looks tacky, so I got a new one. I'll put it on tomorrow. That should be an all day project.
But at least I won't burn anything.
