How to Make the Perfect Tomahawk Steak (Smoke and Sear +Garlic Herb Butter)
In this video I will show you how I made what I consider to be the perfect steak. This was a 2.5 lb prime tomahawk steak that we seasoned with salt and pepper and threw on the smoker. It was smoked until an internal temperature of 125 degrees over oak wood. I let it rest before searing it over the propane grill and topping it with homemade garlic herb compound butter. Perfection.

Making Steak with Kamado Akorn jr. (Review + How-to)
Просмотров 28 тыс.4 года назад
I just got this grill today and wanted to make a video showing how it works, how to cook with it, and some easy BBQ tips. Overall I had a great first experience with this grill. Although it is much cheaper than many other options on the market, the Akorn jr. still produces great food. Coming in under $200 this little guy is a great first grill or introduction into the world of charcoal cooking.

    Ceramic grills are less "insulated" than akorns. Akorns have oven grade insulation between 2 layers of metal which is why the outside of the grill is only warm to the touch when the inside is 400°+.

    Just cooked a bone-in ribeye using this exact method. Got the smoker settled at 250 (using a probe) and smoked the steak up to almost 120. Opened it all up, got it to about 650, timed at 1 minute per side, twice each side...1 minute, flip, 1 minute, flip, repeat. Melted butter and thyme on it while getting everything else ready, served with roasted green beans and garlic aioli. Probably best steak I've ever made.

      You're not going to get blue smoke from wood that can't burn clean and is forced to smolder through the cook. This is also with WSM's and UDS's. Stick burners are the only smokers that offer wood the chance to fully burn with the result of a light blue smoke.

    • @Autoxdriver
      @Autoxdriver 8 месяцев назад

      @illiniwood What you say makes sense, but I have gotten clean blue smoke with my Akorn. If you use solid chunks (not chips) and bury them inside the pile of charcoal they will burn with the charcoal and you will never see that thick white smoke.

      He should’ve took it off around 110 and kept those large flames to get a better sear/crust as well, wrapping it in foil after to retain the moisture. It would’ve ended around 125-130

  • @cabji

    I have an Akorn Jr and I've found the following things: 1. Pork ribs seem to cook better (stay moister) if you have a water pan in with them, otherwise they dry out especially if they are cut lean (in Australia this is often the case). On the Jr, space is a premium, but I get away with using a really small (about a 1/2 metric cup) stainless steel bowl with water in it. About 3 to 4 inch diameter. 2. Use a deflector plate to prevent the direct heat hitting the ribs. I bought a $5 aluminium pizza tray and cut it to sit in where the deflector plate goes. Saves $45. 3. To do a low and slow on these babies, set the top vent to a maximum of "1". Setting it at "1" will get you to about 120C (240-250F?) setting it to "2" will get you to about 220-240C (445F). Anything over that is ridiculous - you aren't cooking you're burning. The bottom can be opened to 5 while you're lighting the coals, but then set it down to 3 or less while cooking. 4. I don't know how true this is, but I put my chunk of timber on the grill as the coal bed is coming up to temperature so it warms up. Allegedly it makes the smoke blue and not white. So you: light coal bed, stoke with a blower, put grill in, put timber on top, close lid, set vents and allow to come to cook temp, open, remove grill, put warmed timber in, put deflector plate in, put grill in, put meat in, smoke and cook. These Jr cookers are really efficient on fuel. I can get a 12 hour cook out of mine if I use a smartfire bbq controller to maintain and control the pit temp, and the coals wont be fully consumed either. The pit will fail and snuff prematurely. Best run I've gotten was 12 hours. Pretty easy to get 8 hours at 100C from it if you have a smartfire. Still working on getting longer.

  • @ac.7724
    @ac.7724 3 года назад

    Thanks for the step by step video. It's very helpful for those of us just learning how to use the Acorn. I just have a few questions, if you please. 1) Did you keep that silver thing at the bottom closed or open? 2) If you don't have that ceramic diffuser, could you use a ceramic plate instead? 3) Did you season the grill like you would a cast iron skillet before you used it? My first and only time trying the acorn, the meat stuck to the grill. Thank you!

    • @snuscaboose1942
      @snuscaboose1942 3 года назад

      Did you season the grill as per the instructions :). Wash the grill with hot soapy water, towel dry and then coat with cooking oil/fat. Get the Acron up to 400F and put the oiled grill on and keep at 400F for an hour, grill is now seasoned.
