How Do You Cook Steak on a ‘Mountain’ grill?

First, let’s see how the pellet grills works:

1. The inner temp is controlled by a digital controller, which regulates the flow of pellets.
2. The auger is tuned by an engine and pellets are fed into a firebox.
3. In a box with fire there is a hot stick, which heats the pellets and a combustion ventilator helps them to continue burning.
4. A ventilator located inside the pellet hopper supports necessary pressure level and prevents burning-out in a hopper department.
5. When these two flows of air meat each other, they make up the necessary fire for wood burning and the smoke of hardwood circulates in the grill cooking the meat.

If you are going to cook a steak in the GMG grill, first, generally you are advised to let the meat have the room temp before putting it on the grate. Without this preparation you might get the undercooked inside of the meat and the overcooked crust of the brisket, ribs or a steak. It’s desirable to use a rubbing for a steak to bring it more taste and flavor. Don’t use the rubbing with a high salt content and the salt dries the meat while smoking. Rub it with butter, oil, sugar, mixture of herbs or sprinkle with some apple juice.

What Temperature Do You Cook Steak on a Green Mountain Grill?

For receiving an amazingly tasty steak you need to grill at a high temp like 450 or 500 degrees F (this makes up 232 or 260 degrees C). 275 or 300 degrees Fahrenheit (135 or 177 C) are the temps for a slower cooking process. From time to time, if you have got some time you may try cooking like that: first, smoke a steak at a temp 150 degrees F (that is 66 C) for an hour and then, heat the grill up to 500 degrees F to finish the cooking fast. In general, the time of cooking depends on how thick your steak is and how fried you prefer it to be.

Is It Healthier to Cook with Charcoal or Propane?

There are some disputes about this question and when we speak about getting the smoky taste and the incredible crust, the absolute winner is the charcoal way of cooking. But speaking about the other advantages, they come from using the gas grills.

The scientists investigated these two ways of smoking and found out that the meat cooked with charcoal has got more carcinogens in it. These carcinogens are named PHAs. But the meat made with the help of propane gas has got less of those. When cooking the meat, fat goes down the meat, it burns and make up the smoke with these PHAs. This smoke covers the meat piece you are cooking. Actually, gas makes less smoke than charcoal during the cooking process. Plus, flames of the charcoal are hotter than those of the gas and they make up another carcinogen, named HCAs. In fact, propane grills also create these carcinogens, but they are in smaller amounts when being cooked. So, when you do the trimming of the meat, you get the lean meat and it would get less fat going down the meat and burning and less smoke, and the amount of PHAs decreases.

If you do the marinating of the meat in lemon juice or vinegar, it soaks these substances and the amount of HCAs gets down to ninety per cent.

When you turn the meat over quite often, it also contributes to decreasing the level of HCAs in the finished meat dish.
