Mortymoose's Weber & Buitebraai Offerings to the HO's Gods! - Your Pofadder Touched My Skilpaadtjie!

You can still braai that without turning it black. It's about heat management and time.
You sure can. But most of your flavour come from the searing/crust (Maillard effect). So wetting your steak with some marinade will result in no crust/searing. Just searing the sugars in the marinade.
Yes I know you can make marinade without sugar, but lets be honest, 99% of marinades you buy or meat that has been marinated has lots of sugar in it.
There is a reason restaurants will first sear the meat for the flavour and then only after its cooked will put some sweet basting on.
 
They are looking for you in the F1 thread.
Why? I said something and you quoted me twice with two random sentences with no actual proof.

Then you are marinading wrong.

How long does brisket marinade for before they make pastrami?

I mean we discussing something and me like most others would like to learn new things, but their must at least be some proof or science behind it.

I was NOT talking about steaks here. More the stewing type of cuts. The simplest way to marinade is using either Greek/Bulgarian yogurt or buttermilk. And spices/aromatics but not salt as that stops the marinading effect.
 
Let us braai..

On the one side we have my veggie: Chillie flakes, worcester, ground coffee, chilliesauce and cant remember what else. Mixed a whole bunch of stuff together.

On the other side: Just lemon and salt. Boring! That's for my lovely wifey. Although she's been in bed hiding under the blankets for the last two days. Hope she eats.
 
Doing another reverse sear on some ribeyes, in the oven until they come to temp, rest, and then on the grill.

Fekken butcher 'butchered' the cut on one of them, so the vrou is going to have to deal with a medium / well one.

Quality of the steaks no where near as nice as from the other butcher, more sirloin than ribeye. Anyway, lekker weekend all!
