If cooking steaks via two-stage method:

  • Place the steaks on the grill in the indirect cooking zone and probe with a ChefAlarm. Set the High alarm to 100°F (38°C).
  • Once the alarm sounds, remove the probe and move the steaks to the hot side.
  • Cook about two minutes per side, checking the temperature with a Thermapen.
  • Pull the steaks from the heat 5–10°F (3–6°C) lower than your target temperature. (Medium-rare target temperature is 130–135°F [54–57°C].)

  • Rest the steaks for 5 minutes.

If cooking steaks over direct heat:

  • Place steaks on the hot side of the grill.
  • Let cook about 3 minutes per side, checking the temperature with a Thermapen. Keep turning the steaks every few minutes if not up to temp. 
  • Remove from heat 5–10°F (3–6°C) lower than your target temperature.
  • Rest the steaks for 5 minutes.
  • Cook the vegetables
  • Place the sliced squashes and the tomatoes (skin side down) on the grill over direct heat.
  • Cook 1–2 minutes to get tasty grill marks on them.
  • Flip squashes and allow to cook another 1–2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and serve with steaks.
