Now, you want to try something really strange? If you're
ever in the position of having a camp fire, get a large bed
of coals goin'. S&P steaks, make a pocket in the coals, toss
steaks "naked" into the coals and cover with coals. Leave it
in for about a minute. Take 'em out, scrape the ash off and
munge. I know, I know, sounds gross but as our scoutmaster
said 40 years ago: "Do you know of ANYTHING" that could live
through that?" Damn tasty once you get past the mental
aspect of it.

Yanno I camp a lot and have actually been tempted that way... but don't you
end up with a coating of ash burned in to the surface of the meat? I
couldn't get past the texture of something like that even if it is as
sterile as the sun.

Yeah, you do but ya just scrape it off with the blade of a
sharp knife. You've never had such an intense sear, I'll
guarantee. The contrast in texture along with the flavors
are wonderful.

Even with a little ash (if any) it's still 100% better than
any hotdog or purchased ground mystery meat.

Anyone who eats premade hotdogs, hamburger, sausages, etc
from the stupidmarket is eating WAY more gross stuff than
this, they just don't realize it.
