Way Out West Pellet Grilled Steaks

Ok to start off this post I want to apologize to Tim. Leave it to me to read the instructions on the bottle after using the rub for the first time

It was meant to be mixed as a marinade and I applied it directly as a rub. It was good but not fantastic. Not fair to Tim because I cannot follow directions : Ok on to the cook...

I started with two bone-in rib eyes...



Then a liberal coating of Way Out West and into the fridge for a couple hours. I was supposed to mix the rub with apple cider vinegar, oil, and water then ziploc bag the steaks and use as a marinade...



Now onto making the Balsamic Mushroom and Blu Cheese Topping...



Start by browning the mushrooms for a few minutes with some olive oil in a pan. I normally use some seasonings but decided to add some Way Out West to the mushrooms instead. Then after a few minutes add a 1/4 cup of Balsamic Vinegar...



Then lower the temp and cover for a 10 minute low simmer...



Then remove the top to the pan and increase the heat until the liquid is nearly reduced. Then add blu cheese, kill the heat, and re-cover...



Now I pre-heated the Memphis to 500F. A lot of people use grill grates on their pellet grills and well I don't have any. But I do have a Big Easy SRG grill. So I placed that on top of the standard grates with the drip pan installed...

I had that temp in the beginning but after hitting the pellet prime button the grill temp was in the 670F range It was time to drop on the steaks...



After 3 minutes I gave a 45 degree rotation. 3 more minutes and then a flip...



Then 3 more minutes on the other side and I was reading 135F IT on the steaks with the Thermapen. Time to pull them off for a few minute rest. Then plated and topped with the mushroom medley...



Now they actually had pretty good flavor for me using the rub entirely wrong. I imagine it tastes much better when used correctly. The funny thing is that when I was done and scraped the SRG grill of excess rub and when it hit the grates I got a whiff of something that smells similar to something in California you can smoke with a prescription. I thought maybe Sparky had stopped by for a visit

Well the steaks looked cooked to perfection even if you didn't follow the directions.

They look pretty tasty from here, and hey, you can always tell Tee you used it as a dry marinade!

Hey how many mistakes are there where you get rewarded with a steak? Doesnt look too bad at all.

directions are for sissies...heheheh great cook

Steak mushrooms with mac and cheese... That my friend is a perfect plate!

so you don't put the steak rub on just like a regular rub? its a beef marinade? the steak and mushrooms look fantastic.

see, you can fly by the seat of your pants. works for me most of the time.

I gotta try this, but without the rub - just salt, pepper and that bluecheese-mushroom-topping. Sounds great!

Nice looking meal!

Just the way I like um ! except for the frog stools ( mushrooms ) just can't eat those things.

Good looking meal!!! I just happen to have a steak and mushrooms. I'll go get some blue cheese and away we go!!
