MMm looks good

Here is you one to try indoors

Get your steaks ready first ribeye or tbone , rinse bone shavings off, pat dry, season how ya like, pepper, montreal steak seasoning ect.

Get a cup or two of water heated in a pan with just a bit of beef bullion (too much is too salty)
Have a cup of red table wine ready..

Get your cast iron skillet (well seasoned) EDIT these can be a pain in the butt to season, but you can get them preseasoned now at wal mart ect...
Heat oven to 500 or broil
Heat skillet up in the oven

Have a burner already on and hot on the stove
Throw the pan on the burner and sear the steaks about 1 minute each side. Give em about 2 minutes more a side for rare , up to about 4-6 minutes a side for well done.

Take the steaks on a plate and put foil over the plate or "tent" them.

Pour the water with bullion in the cast iron pan and let it cook down for a minute. Now pour the red wine in. This should cook down for a few minutes.

You can pour this over the steaks or on a plate with the steaks on top.

BE SURE you taste the reduction before you do. You'll either love it or hate it.

We have crazy... er... eccentric people up here that will grill outside at sixty below zero and colder. Usually the ones that are that extreme have a deck with the grill on it, so they can just step out to check them then step right back in.

I grill all year long... weather shouldn't matter at all (and this is in WI)
Hell I was just out a couple weeks ago in sub 0 temps grilling BACON for breakfast.

I've grilled in the cold plenty of times before on my gas grill. Hell, you have a source of heat, so it's not like there's a problem with freezing while outside. Like you said, though, you gotta make sure your fire gets plenty hot to properly cook anything. I've grilled hamburgers and steaks plenty of times the past 3 months.

A George Foreman grill takes the weather out of the equation. Just last night I was in the mood for hot dogs so i plugged it in and was ready to go. Im thinking steak this weekend sometime though.
