Was cooking inside and outside at the same time, running in and out like crazy, so some slightly charred chicken, lol:
And a couple of somewhat mediocre striploins to finish it off:
They were actually fine, not mediocre. the debacle was that it was one piece that was too thick for a single steak to “properly” cook this way, but not quite thick enough to slice it into two steaks. After some back and forth, I decided on the latter and after a bit of paranoia (about getting it to the shoe sole stage, a la well done) while cooking, crisis was averted and it turned out all right. I’d prefer a little more rare myself, but it was for the kids (they’d probably eat the shoe soles too though, if I cut them properly, lol).
