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

all right guys today on it's alive we're gonna do a little special edition out of the kitchen where I mean ol Vinny we went upstate did some camping me a nice little multi-zone fire Cooper minwu's baby perfect for cooking on and we cooked some cool stuff other than hamburgers and shmores look at that I wouldn't know it was plate of this probably closer to $22 hope you brought your wallet VIN so uh let's go real man down I'm gonna get fired [Music] Oh any boat Benny look who showed up but don't worry got all the hard work done already gathered these rocks here for the fire pit not somebody's hard we've already split up I hiked it in you know we're not that far in the woods we come up here for the you know further for the night for the day we take a couple trips a couple loads you know no one said it was gonna be easy Benny and what we're gonna do we're gonna set up a little oh here let me put my beard now I picked this spot cuz it's got excellent beer holders so what we have here Vinny I'm gonna start a fire back here let it burn down because we don't want to cook over to the direct flames we want to just cook over the coals so uh and then this will be like our our charcoal factory and these will be our cook zones okay [Music] once this burns down I can scoop some coals bring him in here bring him in here I got some grill pans over here and some and some wire racks cast iron you know perfect for camp in flat it's a little heavy but it's not that bad you throw it in the backpack with a couple other things I mean whatever it's the heaviest you know kind of heaviest thing these little rocks I used as little Levellers so I set this up like that and then I got little resting racks or sheet trays so you can cook your vegetables on there it gets the smoke it gets the flame it gets the heat and then this can be for like your solid sear if you want to get like a nice cast you know so we'll set that up I'll get this fire going huh so we're gonna make some kindling some good stuff to start the fire with or I can just see oh no guy cut his thumb off doing this not to go jinx in myself hello well gather some twigs all right we'll build a little teepee action you don't want to choke it you want to make sure you get a nice airflow vinegar lighter make sure you bring a little flame unless you want to you know get your Flint or your magnifying glass both reasonable options big fan teepee method allows good air circulation and then we get this nice kindling we made and once this stuff is going they were pretty rock and rollin I feel about that Vinny oh yeah you don't put a couple bigger logs on there get a nice bed of coals going you know this is a pretty good size for cooking you don't need massive logs when you're gonna be making a fire that's great for if you wanna you know sit around the fire for like you know five hours roast marshmallows and talk about better days and but we're not out here doing that right now we're trying to make a fire to cook on maybe but tonight Vinny will go down and we'll get some larger ones to come back for the old campfire sit around you know well drink whiskey and reminiscence huh man what a beauty who morel mushroom found in the woods not planned that don't get you going you know I can't help you yeah that's a beauty coming ain't gonna find this in the campground hey Emma well you might slice that up I'm a cookie little steak if anyhow we're gonna be doing all right fire burned down we got a nice bed of coals here what I'm gonna do is shovel out these coals and we'll make a nice little bed here rake them in and that's going to be the fuel for our cooking sturdy here let the heat up a little bit and I'll start prepping the meat get that bone hot going oh yeah so we got a little hot zone up here little cooler over here for the veg this is plenty this here if you wanted to get a real hot spot I could bring like a French skillet and you could place that right on the coals you don't want to put that over flame if I were to put those steaks over the flame it'd be just be way too hot when you move things around you know it's not like you put thing one you know that's it and then in the back we're putting more wood to keep the coals up okay so notice the little juice is good stuff flavor bombs dripping onto the rock I mean I like to rock it all but like means any better so we're gonna let that drip into the mushrooms zucchini let that get nicely nice we'll cut that up and get eating huh mm-hmm paid for worse that's for sure yeah so uh got you through three zone fire cooking good stuff in the woods don't get much better or not huh bone Appetit baby blow me something Brad Leone hey guys I'm Brad Leone oh dude we can't do that hey guys I'm Brad Leone I can't do that
