Back in May, we were utterly bedazzled by this method of cooking steak (and the wonderfully wonderful photos) on Amy’s most excellent blog.

Tonight it was way too cold to step outside to the bbq, so we we finally gave it a bash.

Wow. Amazing results – the perfect steak.

And while you think there would be a good deal of smoke, there was barely a wisp – certainly much less than using oil in the cast iron pan. Though our much-better-than-we’ve-ever-had exhaust fan helped, I’m sure.

We’ll be sticking to this.
