The Beefer

The secret to steak success in the best steakhouse restaurants is cooking it at 1,500 degrees under a top-down-fired, infrared burner. To replicate that sensational steak at home, you will need the Beefer high performance beef grill. Unlike gas or charcoal grills that only reach between 500 to 600 degrees, the Beefer uses top-down heat for that optimum temperature of 1,500 degrees. The Beefer is a compact, tabletop, stainless-steel cooker with a top-down-fired, infrared, ceramic burner, and a height-adjustable grilling grate. It cooks quickly and evenly to a perfect juicy doneness, and sears flavors in, creating a crispy, caramelized crust on meat in seconds. The tray below stops juice and fat from draining, which you can use to make delicious sauces. watch the video below
