Has this happened to you? You are ready to grill a juicy steak and found the campsite grill was so gross you didn't even want to put your food on it? If not, your lucky. We use tin foil with slits cut in it to cover them for burgers but we did not think that would work for steaks. So once again when camping--improvise. We never go anywhere with out our cast iron skillet (see Granny Knows Best post). We do fish in it a home so I thought, why not steaks? I marinated them for about an hour in lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and McCormick Grill Mate BBQ seasoning(which is great by the way). I don't add salt because salt can toughen meat. Add salt at the table.
We were staying in a cabin at Blue Spring so I pre-cooked the potatoes in a microwave and then wrapped in foil to put on the grill with the meat. Raw potatoes would take forever on an open grill. You could pre-cook them before your trip and re-heat on the grill, or cut them up into cubes, par boil them on a camp stove,then finish in foil and butter on the grill. They are very yummy!
After heating a little oil in the skillet we pan fried the steaks for about 10 minutes on each side with sliced onions and mushrooms. The meal was a success. It makes my mouth water just looking at the picture I added to this post.
So next time you want steaks, give it a try. This method also holds in more of the meats natural juices and the marinade.
The Happy Camper
