Brad Grills Steak on a Campfire | It's Alive with Brad | Bon Appétit

Alright guys, he's

alive

today, we're doing a little special edition out of the kitchen, where I mean old Vinny, we went upstate, camping, me, a nice little multi-zone fire, Cooper Minwu's baby, perfect for cooking and we cooked a little. interesting stuff besides burgers and shmores look at that, I wouldn't know it was a plate of this, probably closer to $22, I hope you brought your VIN wallet, so uh, let's be a real man, I'll be fired. Oh, any ship, Benny, look who showed. up, but don't worry, I've already done all the hard work, I've already gathered these rocks here for the fire pit, no, someone's tough, we've already split up, I walked it, you know, we're not that far into the woods by the that we came here. you know more at night during the day we make a couple of trips a couple of loads you know nobody said it was going to be easy Benny and what we're going to do we're going to prepare a little oh here let me put my beard on now I chose this place because it has great beer holders so what we have here Vinny I'm going to start a fire back here let it burn because we don't want to cook over direct flames we just want to cook. the embers, then this will be like our charcoal factory and these will be our cooking zones.

Okay, once this burns down. I can pick up some coals. Bring it here. Bring it here. I have some roasting pans around here and some and some. cast iron wire grates, you know, perfect for flat camping, it's a little heavy, but it's not that bad, you throw it in your backpack with a couple other things, I mean, whatever is heavier , you know, the heaviest thing, these little stones that I used as little ones. Levelers, so I set this up like this and then I got little rest racks or trays so you can cook your vegetables in there, you get the smoke, you get the flame, you get the heat and then this can be like your solid sear if I want to have a nice cast , you know, so we'll prepare it.

I'll start this fire, uh, so we'll make some kindling, some good things to start the fire with or I can just see, oh, no guys got cut. stop doing this so I don't curse myself hello well gather some twigs okay we'll build a little action teepee you don't want to drown it you want to make sure you get a good vinegar lighter with air flow make sure you bring a small flame unless you want to, you know, grab your flint or your magnifying glass, both reasonable options, the big fan teepee method allows for good air circulation and then we get this nice kindling that we made and once this is lit, They were pretty rock and roll, sorry. that Vinny, oh yeah, don't put a couple of bigger logs in there, get a good bed of charcoal, you know this is a pretty good size for cooking, you don't need huge logs when you're going to make a fire, that's great. because if you want, sit around the fire for five hours, roast marshmallows and talk about better days, but we're not out here doing that right now, we're trying to make a cooking fire, maybe, but tonight, Vinny.

He'll come down and we'll get some bigger ones to go back to the old

campfire

, sit around, you know, drink whiskey and reminiscences, hey man, what a beauty, that morel mushroom he found in the woods, it wasn't planned, that doesn't get you going , You know? I can't help you, yeah, that's a beauty coming. I won't find this at camp. Hey, Emma, ​​well you can cut it. I'm a biscuit

steak

. If we're going to be fine anyway, the fire burned out. We have a nice bed of coals here, what I'm going to do is shovel these coals out and we'll make a nice bed of coals here, rake them up and that will be the fuel for our stove.

Strong here, let the heat come up a little bit and I'll start preparing the meat, I'll heat up that bone, oh yeah, so we've got a little hot spot up here, a little bit cooler here for the vegetables, this is enough, if you wanted to get A really hot place, I could bring it like a Frenchman. frying pan and you could place it right over the coals. You don't want to put that on the fire. If I put those

steak

s on the fire, it would be too hot when you moved things around. You know it's not like you.

Put one thing in, you know, that's it and then in the back we're putting more wood to hold the coals well, so notice that little bit of juice is good, flavor bombs dripping onto the rock. I mean, I like to move everything, but it means anything. Better, so we'll let it drip into the mushrooms, zucchini, we'll let it be nice, we'll cut it up and eat, eh, mm-hmm, paid for the worst, that's for sure, yeah, so he took you through the fire of three zones cooking good things. the forest doesn't get much better or not eh bone Appetite baby give me some Brad Leone Hey guys I'm Brad Leone oh man we can't do that Hey guys I'm Brad Leone I can't do that seriously Hey guys.

I'm Brad Leone from Hey guys, I'm Brad Leone. You might say, let me cook some food in this cast iron and you might wonder how I was going to clean this. All they need is for them to have their little fire. steel wool, get it real hot, just a little rubber with the old steel wool, wipe it off with a rag and cook again, that was good, eh, no Pilsner in there, but it's better for us, Vinnie, look at that , put that in your VIN magazine oh yeah we both work there
