Within the absence of flat iron steaks, I like NY strips however after all you could possibly additionally use sirloin. Ribeye tends to have an excessive amount of fatty areas and received’t make good strips.

There aren’t any exhausting and quick guidelines about this, simply what I’ve discovered to work greatest over time.

If I’m out on the campsite doing this, I’ll typically lay the steak on paper plates and do the salting that approach, as soon as I get all of them salted, I place the steak into zip high luggage and put the bag into the ice chest for two hours to maintain the meat chilly whereas it brines.

In doing this at residence, I lay them out flat on a pan with a rack and dry brine them correctly.

The professionals advocate ½ teaspoon of coarse kosher salt per pound of meat. I hardly ever measure however somewhat look ahead to visible cues to inform me when the salt is true.

Right here’s the right quantity of salt for these ¼ inch thick items of NY Strip steak.

As soon as salted, go away the pan with the strips of steak on the counter for about 20 minutes till the salt begins to tug moisture from the steak to the floor.

See the moisture puddling? By no means will get previous!

As soon as that occurs, apply a really skinny coat of Jeff’s Texas fashion rub onto the highest floor of the strips for a bit of further taste.

Maintain the meat about 12 inches above the hearth and once you hear scorching, it’s time to rotate the campfire steak strips to the opposite aspect.

It is a fireplace pit that my son and I constructed a yr or two in the past and it solely took about 4 hours utilizing blocks, lava rock, panorama adhesive and many elbow grease.

Resist the urge to make use of a thermometer for these. There’s simply one thing primal about cooking meat on a stick over a campfire that makes know-how appear misplaced.

These will style wonderful wherever between medium uncommon and effectively carried out just because they’re cooked over the hearth on a stick!

Serve these campfire steak strips with roasted corn or potatoes wrapped in foil and cooked beneath the coals.
