Small tip, don’t use metal tongs on the cook top. Appears there is probably a non-stick coating on the grill top. Metal tongs can scratch the surface. Try using plastic or ones that aren’t metal will make your non-stick surface last a little longer.
I miss your content Alex. Are you ok? What’s new? I have watched every one of your videos. Of all the trucking videos, you are the most honest and down to earth. I am a retired principal from Florida. My nephew stayed with me during his truck training years ago. He has been driving for years, but now he does local runs for a food company in South Carolina. I loved your bike adventures, adore watching you cook, and I think people would be interested in more of your off driving time. Maybe even off duty at home. For me, I feel like I am peeking into your life. Still with Varient? I look for new videos every day. I am not a trucker, but of all the different guys and gals posting…I have bonded with your style. If you are ever near Tampa Florida, my wife and I would love to invite you to dinner. Good luck, hope you are well
Another cooking tip Alex is to pick out your seasoning or whatever you decided to season or add to your steak, chicken or whatever your protein is then go and season it BEFORE YOU decide to stick it on the grill or whatever you use for that protein and you want to basically seal those things into the meat. Also don’t kill the meat after it’s been already killed, meaning don’t overcook it man. I love your videos and your content, BUT your killing me with the cooking side because your making it harder than it is for yourself man. Your learning I get it and you will see how to properly get things done, until then don’t make it harder for yourself. A good crust on the OUTSIDE doesn’t mean you burnt it it just means you seals those flavors inside the meat. But a medium rare steak is perfect at least to me. I can’t do a chewy and over done steak man It’s not gonna kill you. Lastly, do the feel test start at the chin for more med rare all the way to the forehead for a well done type.
Lol you did a fine recovery job with that steak. I kept laughing when you kept saying you burnt it Because you have not truly seen burnt till you catch my mother on a bad day of cooking steaks, she can make the outside of the steak completely inedible but somehow the inside of the steak is cooked almost perfectly you just need a really sharp Potatoe peeler to slice off the outer layer then everything is good. 😆
Btw the reason the smokeless button doesn’t work is because it doesn’t really mean smokeless it just redirects the smoke and it blows it out of underneath the stove so that’s the reason the smokeless button doesn’t work in small places.
Alex I’m so happy for you bro it’s hard finding that one spot trucking company and it looked like you found your match congrats keep rolling and pushing
Great meal effort! As an observation, when you butterflied the steak you were at rare. You ended up with between mid rare to med on the steak. Not bad on the road with a flat top.
Hey bud. How’s it going. Your truck is going to be sprayed with grease lol. Anywho I like your set up. Personally I would grill outside the truck but…👍
Ever considered getting an air fryer? if you got a dual one then you could cook 1 thing then add a second item into the second compartment after plus you can cook rice in them too even those microwavable rice pouches :)
You might want to get a metal (aluminum) cover to cover up when you are cooking your meat on your grill. It will trap the heat and your meat cook faster. The way you are cooking meat on your grill, it seems that the grill only cooking at the bottom because the remaining are open and heat is escaping. Or try getting thinner sliced meats. If your family have Costco membership, I believe some locations carry Asian precooked rice which you can microwave it for 90 seconds if you want it. Check it out. I hope these information helps you in future. Take care and thank you for sharing your videos.
When I do my steaks I let them get to room temp first. I then cook them unseasoned. I put the seasonings on a cutting board and put the steak on that. As it cools it pulls the seasoning in. A minute or so on each side and it's delicious. No burning seasoning off on the grill either.
If the truck turns off for idle in the uk if you press the cruise control button and make the engine rev an extra 50-100 rpm it won’t cut out. Worth a try
You might think about marinating your meat in a zip-lock bag the night before cooking. McCormick Steak blend is great on everything. Also pick up a dome lid for your cook top. This will allow for a more even cooking with all your meats. Another simple alternative is adding garlic butter to those vegetables..... It tastes amazing yet simple !!! Thanks for sharing your videos.
Alex next time, let the steak sit out 30 minutes, then put some salt front and back. When you're ready to drop on grill put some avacado oil front and back of steak. If cooking out of a pan do the same but put the oil in pan first.
Love the videos brother your a rolling Martha Stewart lol. 25 years of eating out and sandwiches on the road thinking about start cooking in my truck man that looks good..
Alex, if you want to check how tough your steak will be, touch your thumb to your index finger, with other hand feel your thumb muscle, that is rare, work your way across to well done (which just ruins a beautiful piece of cow.)
Alex try Turning on your cruise control and turning up the idle UA-cam how to do it that might solve your problem if that doesn’t ask your company if they can takeoff the idle shut down all it is unlocked at the company can do for you if they allow it. It’s better for the truck to high idle more oil pressure is best. Specially in cold climates
I learned how to idle my Peterbilt…in park i press on cruise control then set press at least 2 to 3 times to rev up engine..it keeps invertor at 13.3..i have a galant and it drains my batteries without doing that
I enjoy these videos so much of you cooking and shopping, show more of that, instead of you complaining about everything, remember that is the life of a Truck Driver 😊be safe.
Hey Alex, How do you clean the grill, plates and utensils? What about all the food smell in the truck? Would it be better if you grilled outside of the truck?
Alex - please don’t ever destroy a fine American piece of beef like that again! Several words you should become familiar with … meat thermometer, rare, medium rare, medium, medium well, well, butterfly. If you like well done beef then never try to cook that thick a steak again … butterfly it then cook. Take steak out of fridge bring it to room temperature pat dry to remove excess moisture then season then grill . Another suggestion try a nu-wave induction cooktop. Also size the power inverter to run fridge grill and microwave all at same time
A steak that thick...I sear all sides. I lower cook temp and cover just the steak with foil to keep the heat in. A last resort to recover a badly burned steak is to MW it for 30 seconds.

damn it must stink inside your truck.
I like the fact you cook the meat and not eat it row like most Americans I do like medium rare but well done it's better for the body I'm not joking
Onion granule.
Hey Alex, lots of scammers on your channel. Do have anything to help with your channel and all scammers?
Please cook outside. Carbon monoxide
Cooking tip. Let the steak get to room temp then pre season then add to grill.
You are supposed to saute the mushrooms and onions first, it's not a steak without them!!
@@LekajBrothersTransportion as a certified cook. It does actually matter.
@Idriz Lekaj I'm a chef. it does matter.
For real! I noticed a huge difference, especially when I grilled it
I watch you tube videos so technically im a chef
Small tip, don’t use metal tongs on the cook top. Appears there is probably a non-stick coating on the grill top. Metal tongs can scratch the surface. Try using plastic or ones that aren’t metal will make your non-stick surface last a little longer.
Nope. Best just use wooden ones.
I already told him this. Lol
Will also make YOU last less
Set your cruise control, then idle it down. Then your truck while idle all day. I have the exact same truck that you do and it works for me. FYI.
i do the same thing here in europe mate. funny how some stuff are the same even across the pond
Cooking, eating ,working & sleeping all in the same area isn't a bad idea :) 👍😁
bros never heard of trucking, or working from home,
Just don't shit wear you eat!
Alex....I like to lightly oil my steak, then season!! Acts as a binder and keeps the seasoning on the steak!!

Beats the heck out of truck stop junk food
That steak wasn’t raw… it was mid rare… the way most people eat their steaks
He’s a trucker they would eat a flip flop(well done steak)
@@CerretaniOutdoorsLLC I ain’t ever going to eat leather even if I became a trucker haha.
His version of raw is my version of perfect 👌

I love seeing you cook in the Truck. 😋
As a truck driver how do you wash your dishes after you do your cooking and eating
i have a 12 ltr bottle with a faucet so i can wash after, as well for morning routine stuff.
One thing you should look into is Sous Vide. You can cook so much with it easily and it’ll all come out out perfect.
Btw the reason the smokeless button doesn’t work is because it doesn’t really mean smokeless it just redirects the smoke and it blows it out of underneath the stove so that’s the reason the smokeless button doesn’t work in small places.
Any tips on fine cigars? Steak looked awesome
When seasoning a steak you really don’t need anything more than salt and pepper. Myself I just use seasoning salt
Love the vids bro
Love grilling 😋. Yum burnt that's just flavor.
Do you have a link for your hotplate cooker? I am just starting out in trucking.
I run an extension cord from my inverter out of the truck and cook on the cat walk so I don't get grease splatter in the truck.
Variants got the cleanest company trucks on the road!
Looks yummy Alex 😋.Alex you have the best job you get paid to see the country. Keep the videos coming my friend. ❤
Alex I’m so happy for you bro it’s hard finding that one spot trucking company and it looked like you found your match congrats keep rolling and pushing
Great meal effort! As an observation, when you butterflied the steak you were at rare. You ended up with between mid rare to med on the steak. Not bad on the road with a flat top.
You were about to risk it all flipping that steak! 😂😂😂
Brother you need an air fryer
Preach
He had one I have no idea why he traded it out for a griddle
Hey bud. How’s it going. Your truck is going to be sprayed with grease lol. Anywho I like your set up. Personally I would grill outside the truck but…👍
3:00 I hope that was my advice you took.
Hey Alex, what happened to your air fryer?
Ever considered getting an air fryer? if you got a dual one then you could cook 1 thing then add a second item into the second compartment after plus you can cook rice in them too even those microwavable rice pouches :)
He has one already. He's just trying something new but he's used it plenty of times on the channel.
That looks delicious Alex

Take care and thank you for sharing your videos.
This guy crushes the trucking game
Ride him already lol
No he doesn't
this guy braindead
You are living the American dream! Take care, happy travels & thank you so much for your videos!

Next time, if you have a chunk of meat that size, cut it up into bite size, then cook those pieces. They'll cook quicker and more over through out.
Thanks Alex! Great perspective.
That seat cushion make the ride better?
Looks good meal
Who want Alex come back
If the truck turns off for idle in the uk if you press the cruise control button and make the engine rev an extra 50-100 rpm it won’t cut out. Worth a try
How many times are you waiting on an empty trailer after delivering a load? I heard they have a shortage on trailers. Is that true?
Back in my day you would put a can of soup on the motor driving down the road then you eat lol
Dude you don't have to cook steak all the way through
Here comes the chef’s 👨🍳
Do more cooking vids Alex!

Wow you living the most as truck driver. You got quite the set up in there. Good for you!!
Its like van life but your on the road making $$$
Talk to your maintenance shop about shutting of the timed idle it takes like 5 min to do
Love your vid….. I’m a new trucker, and I’m bringing a rice cooker cus why not hahah
Alex next time, let the steak sit out 30 minutes, then put some salt front and back. When you're ready to drop on grill put some avacado oil front and back of steak. If cooking out of a pan do the same but put the oil in pan first.
That sounds delicious and fancy. I'll have to try that. Thanks 👍
That was so brutal to watch 😂😂😂
Chef Alex in the making!
Turn the cruise control on then hit resume to high idle the truck when your parked😊
Try Montreal seasoning for your steaks. Does the grill splatter when you grill steaks or pork?
ALEX THE TRUCKING GUY IS that a portable freezer on your bottom bunk. If so we're did u get it from? And how much was it.....Thanks
What kind of fridge is that 12volt? What brand
I think you should try using an air fryer to cook instead of the grill.
Where did u purchase that freezer and what is it called. I’ve been looking for one
Find some Montreal steak seasoning, also the chicken seasoning. i put it on pork chops, potatoes. its so good.
Slap Yo Momma season for the chicken
Where can I find a head camera like yours? It seems like that’s way more convenient vs carrying a camera around.
What equipment do u use for your cooking appliances?
Love the videos brother your a rolling Martha Stewart lol. 25 years of eating out and sandwiches on the road thinking about start cooking in my truck man that looks good..
Thanks for watching inbox me right away👍 let's move on investment tips👍
Ever consider getting a power station like jackery or anker? I know they’re kind of expensive but I’m sure it’ll be very useful.
why dont you cook outside at least if the weather is nice?
Burnt outside and raw inside is called Pittsburg style I believe
Alex, if you want to check how tough your steak will be, touch your thumb to your index finger, with other hand feel your thumb muscle, that is rare, work your way across to well done (which just ruins a beautiful piece of cow.)
I hold it in my head cannon that Alex is the king of all truckers, sorry but not sorry
Get an air fryer already. Best steak of your life in 7 mins!
Delicious. You should start a cooking channel too
NO APU? That cut a beef looks AMAZING! MMMMMMM
Alex try Turning on your cruise control and turning up the idle UA-cam how to do it that might solve your problem if that doesn’t ask your company if they can takeoff the idle shut down all it is unlocked at the company can do for you if they allow it. It’s better for the truck to high idle more oil pressure is best. Specially in cold climates
You keep the truck running...do you not have an APU?

High idle the engine with the cruise control and it shouldn't shut down.
You're one funny dude. If you had a dog you could show us how to properly pick up after it. Lol.
We’re you at the loves 652 today in Williams ca
How much can someone make as a truck driver?
Yeah if your compelled to use a grill in the truck at least cover it with foil for less clean up I always put everything in the oven on the truck
Cut the steak raw in strips and season then cook the strips easy way for u man 💯🫡
A steak that thick...I sear all sides. I lower cook temp and cover just the steak with foil to keep the heat in. A last resort to recover a badly burned steak is to MW it for 30 seconds.
Hey bro do you have your hasmat license to where you can enter the ports.. ?
