3. Close the lid and cook for 90 seconds.
4. Open the lid and rotate the steak 90 degrees.
Close the lid and cook for a further 90 seconds.
5. Open the lid and turn the steak over. Close the
lid and cook for a further 90 seconds.
6. Open the lid and rotate the steak 90 degrees.
Close the lid and cook for a further 90 seconds.
7. Open the lid, turn burners 1, 2 and 3 to HIGH
and move the steak to the grill above the far right
burner (turned off).
8. Close the lid and cook indirect for the remaining
cooking time.
By using this method, you’ll cook steaks with a
beautiful, criss-cross seared finish on the outside.
If you like more (or less) charring on the outside
of your steak, experiment with leaving the steak
above the direct heat of HIGH+ for more (or
less) time. If you like a very charred outside, try
preheating the barbecue for 15 minutes instead of
10.
The HIGH+ setting can also be used for searing
or browning the outside of cuts of meat you plan
to roast. Certain cuts of beef, lamb and pork will
benefit from being seared first, and then finished
using the indirect method. The HIGH+ setting
should never be used to cook food with a very high
fat content, unless the fat has been removed prior
to cooking.
How to cook the perfect steak (direct and indirect cooking)
Every burner on your Genesis II LX is equipped with HIGH+ ; an extra boost of heat and power that is
available when you need it, with a quick turn of the controls. HIGH+ creates the ultimate system for
cooking restaurant quality steaks on your barbecue. With extra high heat, just when you need it, while
maintaining total control, steak cooked on with HIGH+ will be beautifully branded on the outside, evenly
cooked to your liking, and tender on the inside, with a wonderful char grilled flavour. For the best results,
try to use quality steak that is at least 4 cm thick.
Preheating for cooking the perfect steak using
HIGH+:
Whenever you use your Genesis II LX, it is
important that you preheat the barbecue first,
with the lid closed. This ensures that the cast iron
grill is searing hot when you start cooking.
1. Check that all burner control knobs are in the
off position and check with the supplied tank scale
that there is sufficient gas in your bottle (for LP
models).
2. Open the lid.
3. Turn the gas supply on at the source.
4. Light all four main burners according to the
instructions in the owner’s guide.
5. Turn the left burners 1, 2, 3 to HIGH+ (H+) and
close the lid. Preheat the barbecue with burners
1, 2, 3 on HIGH+ and burner 4 on HIGH (H) for 10
minutes.
