I agree it does sound good!! I went to a going away party this weekend, where I was asked to cook, (seeing how much cooking I do
). They had lean ground beef, which I seasoned and made into patties. Let's just say, that ground beef needs A LOT of seasoning. The steaks, were fine with about 1/2 the seasoning!! Have you tried marinating meat in Coca-Cola, or some other type of Cola? It marinates, and also caramelizes, giving a mildly sweet taste.
BTW, gas grilling without any soaked wood chips/liquid smoke sux!! I'll try your method out the next time I grill, thanks!!
