Campfire A-1 Steak

2009-06-08T22:10:00.001-07:00

Campfire A-1 Steak....a great campfire cooking recipe to try ! Amazing....

Ingredients:

* 1 steak per person, cut of your choice
* pinch lemon pepper
* pinch garlic
* pinch black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS
With a very hot bed of coals (no or very little flame), lay your seasoned steaks on the grill. Let it cook until the bottom is almost golden, turn, and do the same to the other side. Watch your steak, don't burn it. The trick is to not salt before cooking because this draws moisture to the
surface. A dry steak is not good. Turn as many times as necessary to keep from burning until done to your taste. By cooking the outside fast, the juice is sealed in. By turning, you keep from burning the outside until the meat is done to your taste. The campfire cooking recipe of steak is ready.... Enjoy.!
