Griddle vs Grates - Steak _ Weber Q Griddle vs Weber Q Grates

Today at the City Escape , we are once again firing up the Weber Q , I have never cooked a steak on the wee griddle .

So we're going to compare that versus a steak off the wee grates .

So stick around for Weber griddle versus webb grates in a steak off .

Today , we're gonna be grilling these two beautiful rib eyes that I just got from the butcher and all I'm gonna season these steaks with is coarse ground kosher salt , no pepper , no oil , nothing else .

Just salt on these steaks .

And of course , I am going to season both sides of the steaks and I'm gonna let these steaks sit for about an hour and here now you can see that after that hour , the salt has melted into the meat .

And now these steaks are officially ready for the grill out here .

I've preheated the Webber cue for about 10 minutes .

It is piping hot and it is ready for these steaks .

The first steak goes onto the griddle , the second steak onto the grates and for a grilled nerd like myself , this is actually kind of exciting .

So we're gonna close the lid and give these about 3.5 minutes and after that time goes by , it is time to flip our stakes .

No , you can see those beautiful grill marks on the grapes steak versus the griddle steak .

Don't close the lid .

Keep on grilling .

All right .

So now these steaks have been on for about seven minutes total and we're gonna go ahead and temp these stakes using a digital meat thermometer .

I'm looking anywhere between 1 25 and 1 30 and both of these steaks are coming in right around 1 26 .

So I know when I take them off and they rest a little bit , they'll probably go up to about 1 30 which is pretty much perfect for a medium rare steak .

So I'm gonna go ahead and get these off of the grill , give them about a 10 minute rest and then we'll have our taste test and these steaks can get in my ballet Weber Q griddle versus Weber Q Greats , which do you think will win the stake off ?

Ok .

So here we are , we've got our two beautiful steaks on my right .

We have our griddle steak and on my left , we have our steak that came off the grates and you can definitely tell by of course , the great marks .

So let's uh give these a bite .

We'll cut them right in the middle and see what we're , we're dealing with here .

Super juicy .

You can get a look at that nice and juicy on the uh on the great side as well .

So griddle grates , let me know how they look .

Um First off , I have to say that I think that the greats , I I just love the grill marks on the greats better than just the flat uh grill mark .

So appearance wise , I would say right off the bat , the greats are winning it for me , but that is either either here nor there because what it comes down to is the taste .

So , first I guess I'll taste the , the crates .

See how that ?

Yeah , that's awesome .

That is an awesome steak right there .

I'll tell you the Webber cu makes a really , really great steak and now we'll try a piece from the griddle side .

Hm .

Wow .

It almost seems a little bit saltier , but I'm not 100% sure I'll do another taste from a different part of the steak .

Ok .

That's from the grass again .

Very delicious .

Excellent , perfectly cooked steak .

Try a piece from here .

Um , hit the griddle steak .

Yeah , I think that the , um , I think that's the griddle steak because there's nowhere for it to drip .

I think it seems just a tiny bit saltier like that salt that's trapped up on the griddle where it has the great steak .

The salt can actually fall through the grates .

Uh Not that the saltier steak is bad , but I think I actually prefer the grates better .

Um , it just seems like it's just a little bit less salty .

I don't know .

Maybe that's my era where I salted this one more than I salted that one .

I , I think they were pretty much even , they were the same size steaks .

I had the butcher weigh them out for me .

Appearance wise , I would go with the greats .

So appearance a little bit less salty .

Not by much , but the victory goes to the Weber Q Greats in the stake off .
