Texas men spend untold hours purchasing the perfect meat, in this case 2 inch thick prime bone in ribeyes, perfecting their steak rubs (various spices rubbed onto the meats before grilling), then another 30 minutes getting the barbecue grill to the perfect temperature. Once the meat is on the grill and the lid closed, they do not leave, much tweaking of temperature and placement of the meat on the grill ensues.
My son came for a visit for July 4th and a whole day was spent on his passion: grilling steaks. They were divine, We love rare to medium rare and they were perfect. I prepared twice baked potatoes and a big salad, we kind of ignored the salad and just focused on the meat and potatoes, though. It was a fitting summer holiday feast!
Not just Texas. My gf in South Carolina is spending the weekend with her husband cooking every meal (including Breakfast) on his new flat top grill. He cooks and no kitchen to clean up. WIn win.
Happy 4th July! Sounds like you celebrated in the perfect style. Your men will be full of red blood cells & fighting fit! I like BBQ steak but our weather is a bit if a hit & miss affair for us to be masters at cooking outside.
