I've cooked a lot of steak while camping. The first thing I realized was that...it's not easy. My first attempts left me with raw-in-the-middle results, which is still pretty yummy but not near as good as the edge-to-edge perfection I could achieve with my convection oven at home. When I learned that the 3" casserole pan worked perfectly as a grill cover I knew I had to test it to to the max with a massive ribeye. My small town grocery store butcher was more than happy to cut a special steak just for me and lucky enough ribeyes just happened to be on sale!
I think the only limitation to my New 5-WAY Cookware is my capabilities as a chef. I realized I should have let the steak rest, which would've given it more color. Tell me down in the comments exactly what I did wrong and what I did right.
I'm loving my New FIREBOX 5-WAY Cookware and I can't wait to share it with you! We're working hard to finish up some final details with the Removable Handle. After-which we'll launch the 5-WAY Cookware with a KICKSTARTER Project.

Thanks so much, Steve
Come on, Bill.
Check out this steak.
Oh yeah.
There we go.
I'm going to turn this around
so that it will drain.
Like that.
You see I do have a drain slot right here
to get a really thick steak like this
kind of cooked nicely.
You really have to be able to cover it up.
Okay, we're up to 114 degrees
internal temperature.
So I'm going to...
Yeah, it feels good.
135 degrees Fahrenheit.
So it's going to be a very nice
medium rare.
Maybe even a little bit rare.
Not quite sure.
But I'm just going to start eating it right here
off the grill.
Very nicely cooked.
Wow.
That is so delicious.
Okay.
What do you think, Maggie?
Do you like it?
Sit, Maggie.
Sit.
Stay.
Hey, kennel.
Stay.
Good girl.
That is so good.
I think I'm going to save the rest of it for breakfast.
And then I'll probably still take some of it home
because that is one big steak.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to steak and eggs in the morning.
Wow, that's so good.
I have some hash browns here I need to rehydrate.
I'm just going to do it right there in the bag.
These hash browns tipping over like that
was actually perfect because it's
going to allow them to drain
off all that extra moisture.
In fact, if I can squeeze some of it out
it'll probably be good.
Get our steak out.
So I want to kind of render that fat
so I can cook with it.
My pan's not quite level
but I'm going to use that to my advantage.
And I'm going to start my hash browns
right in that puddle.
I want steak flavored hash browns.
It's going to be awesome.
Just looking at the flame
I can see there's more heat over here.
And so if I'm going to get my hash browns
to actually get crispy and brown
I'm going to have to rotate them over there.
So I'm just going to put on my elk skin gloves.
And yeah, you can see the flame is all on that side.
It's a real nice mellow heat.
And it's going to be perfect for finishing this up.
I think I have enough of that fat rendered off
that I can go ahead and start putting my steak on
so it can warm up.
It's already cooked.
It just needs to warm up.
We'll set this aside.
I'll give it to the dogs little by little.
I don't want to give them too much.
Wow, look at that.
I'm going to pull the cap off of my little
secret spice stash here.
Put a little Hakata spice on this steak.
Woo hoo hoo.
The most beautiful thing about steak and eggs
is when you can cook your eggs in the steak fat
then your eggs taste like steak.
I'm going to put a little Hakata spice on my eggs.
My fire is burned down to hot coals
so this will be the perfect temperature
if I just cover it and let it finish.
Stay.
No.
Okay.
Good girl.
I really don't want to build up the fire
because I like slow cooked, you know, nice tender eggs.
Everything is nice and hot though.
Yeah, it's going to be good.
Breakfast is served.
Hoo hoo hoo.
Look at that.
This has got to be one of my top breakfasts.
So nice.
Hoo hoo hoo.
Build the ultimate bite.
A little bit of egg.
A little bit of hash brown.
Ha ha ha.
Look at that.
Hmm.
You like that pack, Bill?
No, no.
That's my paleo hiker patch.
You can't have it.
This is our final version of the kit pack.
So I promised you
that this panel would go up higher
and have snaps.
So it has snaps and we put a little more body
in this panel.
And so I've got my plate
and a cutting board in there.
And then we added a little more body
to this panel as well
so it would work better
as kind of a shelf,
kind of as a workstation like that.
I'm really happy with it.
These gussets are designed
to automatically kind of fold inward
so they get out of the way for the zipper.
Right now I just have my coffee in there.
